If people like him would be my teacher, school would be actually fun.
Tru
Well then, become a teacher and be that kind of guy who makes school fun. Nothing's gonna happen if no one does anything.
@@RedGallardo good point. Teaching is not as easy as people think. I’m sure lots of teachers who are called “bad” or “boring” were doing their best.
@@MeryKeit No-no, I don't mean people should try and see how difficult it is, although it's true. I mean someone has to do it. So why not those who understand that? Good teachers won't just pop up from nowhere. It's people who decide they should devote their lives to making kids smarter and kinder. It's mostly about decision. Anyone can be anyone if they decide they would take it seriously and give their best.
@@RedGallardo We should do something RIGHT NOW
Found this man randomly now I started watching him daily.
Same. I was just trying to learn some stuff I didn't fully understand, searched through his videos and got interested.
Im 21, and just graduated college in the US, but I still find myself watching this guy’s youtube videos. They’re really informative!
It is not useful for u I guess.... because you already know English as its your mother tongue.....
@@posidunforce4844 Its never too late to learn something new :)
Hey, am 21 too and am living in Central Asia(Kyrgyzstan) and for me videos like this are very important, we have never been taught this in school or college. Its kind of sad when you realize that your English is suck and you should learn more than you thought
@@ruslan4042 It's never sad to improve your skills and learn from an interesting and informative man like James, these videos are not published for Asia or any country specifically. Your english isn't even good, so don't insult others

My Homework Mr. James:
I was a nervous wreck because a crook demanded that I hand over my bag.
I thought i was a goner.
Thank you for the lesson❤
Perfect 👌
Thank u:)
@Jupiter thank you for telling me❤
Are you a 4th grader?
No?
the moment he said poor, the word he taught us earlier "destitute" came to my mind immediately hahah
That's pretty right
@Jenny that's pretty right
@Chu chu There is a difference between poor and very poor ? 😂
JamesESL: Don't use the word "very"
Also JamesESL: "very flirty", "very anxious"
😁
Busted! =D
They all say this and they all use it anyway lol
he does it so that everyone would understand it) obviously 🙃
He should use words like rather than (very)
•exstemely
•relatively
•incredibly
I apologise for being technical with Mr E I'm ashamed for saying that Mr E inverted into a woman who Mr E!
Schooled
I´ve been studying English for 3 years, but looking youtube videos like this one, is one of the best modes to learn. Thanks for being a good teacher!!
Agree
JamesESL: "hand it over" is not polite
Me: "please hand it over" 😎
Wait, that’s illegal
British / Canadian Street Gangs like that
Haha
*may* you please hand it over (-:
I'm actually learning French but I like him so much....
HI
i'm actually talking french and i also like him very much !
Me too am learning french
Moi aussi.. 😝
@@krishnaparigi2411 😄
If something is not straight, it's criminal.
James Charles: I took that personally
This lesson not only showed how great teacher he is also shows up his greatness as human being, thanks 👍
I just realised the more I watch your videos despite being an English native speaker, the more I start to question stuff in the English language because this language is actually pretty confusing
Is it so ?
Hello from Dominican Republic! Fan #1 over here. Master clases.
I was a nervous wreck because a crook demanded that I hand over my bag. I thought I was a gonner
goner*
@@akshitgaur9719 Thank you. I thought it originated from the verb go-went-gone
@@Archeryring I first thought the same though😊🛡️

I was surprised cause a gorgeous girl demanded that I throw my cell phone and my bag to her hands. I Thought I was screwed.
Man i am a big fan of James Sir, He shows that to achieve big you don't need modern equipments..
All you need is will to work hard, you can achieve big with basic equipments like a simple white board..
Thanks Sir

"I was out of the blue because a handed over demanded that i had in my bag, i thought i was a goner"
This is my understand of the assignment
Thanks mr james you really make me understand more about English Slangs.
Once, I was walking down the street and met up with my barber. When he saw me I could tell that he was getting a nervous wreck looking at my haircut. He was like:
- Man, no woman would make a pass at you wearing this haircut. If you want everyone to be tripping around you(i know, It sounds weird), visit me on Monday.
Monday seemed to come out of nowhere and I got my new haircut.
Now, looking in the mirror, I see that If I had kept walking around with such a mess on my head, I would be a goner
great teacher keep it on
You can also say that lady was mean because she said "HAND it over" to a handless worm
Hahahahha
😂👍
LOL!!!
He has hands lil bro
After a long time here I am again seeing James teaching another wonderful lesson! Thanks!!!
I always like how he puts sound effects to his explanations
To be honest I haven’t learned these slangs before but throughout the time of speaking and listening in different environments it has lead me to this stage of understanding and getting the points
Fun fact:
The majority of people who say "fuck it" don't actually mean it literally.
str8 fax
U sure?
That's useful.
Yeah I found that out the hard way.
People who say stfu also don't mean it.
When I was high school student I went to a English learning academy to raise my TOFLE score. The teacher who mostly taught me was a guy from the US and I found his lecture mysteriously soothing. Now I have found out the reason and that is because he got the such great humor just like you and his humor made me relieved during the lecture. Thanks to him and his lecture now I am in Japan as a student of an international university.
I just found your videos today from my recommendation and I am glad that I finally met a such instructor who motivate me to study English again. Thank you
I love your classes, even after 20 years living in the states, I still finding it hard to understand slang. Thank you for your lessons. Have you ever think of making a video to just talk about who you are, what is your background, family etc? It would be nice to know.
I admire this man, uniquely creative in every aspect in utilizing his originality in every performance he developes.
Watching your videos is the best way of learning vocabulary , because oftentimes a dictionary distracts us .
Just a few notes on the word ‘goner’
I’m pretty certain the word ‘goner’ derives from the word ‘gone’ which means to… disappear, no longer exist, or to have been moved or move itself to a different location.
So, to be a ‘goner’ would mean that you will disappear, or cease to exist.
However, goner can also be used in different contexts, though rarely. Sometimes, for example in sport, people can say “I thought we were goners in the first half, but somehow we managed to get the win” Meaning they thought they were going to lose in the first half of the game.
Thanks!
Are you an english teacher?
Mr James has a potential of being an actor! An amazing teacher, more than a teacher. Love his lessons. :)
So do I
What actually makes it interesting is the bit of drama he does...so good
Good lesson, I liked that you used a whiteboard, it reminds me of my school days. Thanks
The TH-cam algorithm sent me this video out of the blue!

OMG, About 10 freaking years ago I was watching this dude for learning some words, And still he is the best of all!!))))
Thank you so much for teaching us in a such fun way❤️

I missed you, my great prof! 💎💐
Aye-yeh!
I'm writing english home language paper 3 on Friday,many thanks to Mr James coz i managed to pick up one,two things there.
Good job Mr 👏👍👌
Another good lesson 👍🏻
You make it easy to learn.
Thank You.
This was as much entertaining as is educational 🤩🤩
We always loves his video bcz it is meticulously made by him..just blows our mind...❤️
I always said it out a lot of work.
I was a nervous wreck because Portugal almost lost to France. I thought Ronaldo was a goner.
And yesterday he came back home
They got eliminated 😹
I learned recently a word shotgun means a passenger seat in a car
and bus means collecting dishes and plates from a table
i wanna know more words like these very simple everyday words that have different meanings
I'm not sure if this counts, but the word deck is sometimes used to mean hit or punch. Someone might say "I'm going to deck you!" meaning they're going to hit you very hard.
Crook also means sick. Not sure if that’s what you were looking for though.
Croak, which normally refers to the sound that a frog or toad makes, is also slang for dying or death. I could say "He croaked" to mean he died. It's not something you would say about someone you like or care about. You would say this in a casual conversation with someone you know well when talking about someone you dislike or don't know personally.
I was a NERVOUS WREK because a CROOK demanded that i HAND OVER my bag. I thought I was a GONER
Sounds like a serious business 😬
@@englishchannel3786 😅😅
