  • In this video I will be destroying some common grammar and language myths, including ending sentences with a preposition, phrasal verbs in formal language, how and when to separate phrasal verbs, how much vocabulary you need for fluency, when to use 'will' and 'going to', and when children should start to learn English.
    See you in class!

    1:14 - Can you end a sentence with a preposition?
    5:08 - Can you use phrasal verbs in formal English?
    10:21 - When to separate phrasal verbs
    13:41 - When to use 'will' or 'going to' to talk about the future
    17:44 - How much vocabulary do you need for fluency?
    20:10 - When should you teach your child English?

      Hey Jason, the separable phrasal verb example has a problem, think about the meaning of : "Turn on authoritarians!" and "Turn authoritarians on!" it's easier to see 2 possible meanings, as Paul Barton points out below "turn on the power of choice" is confusing as it is ambiguous. I realise this glitch with "to turn on .." & "to turn .. on" is probably unwanted, but it's not an unusual usage :)

      Dear Christian,
      Thank you so much for your devotion in English teaching. I have really gained a lot of understanding in this language from your teaching. I really love your way, you have revealed the psychology of the languague, Engiish.
      Best regards,

    • @rosangelamoreno2426

      I really just love your teaching!
      Please could you explain this :
      Why a book was named "Me and You" ; insteaf of "I and you"???
      When , for example, a person is asked about who is going to do stg, they answered :"Me"..
      And not " I" ,????
      Is it correct grammar?
      I am from Brazil, and as you probably know, like Spanish, using the pronouns these way sounds very childish.
      Thanks teacher
      God bless you and your family always!

    19:07 - This is the first time I have ever come across your channel (possibly because I am a native English speaker so why would TH-cam recommend it to me... it wouldn't), but at 19:07 this is one of the best definitions of WHAT you are trying to practise in order to improve in a language that I have ever heard:
    "You need to have automatic control of the grammar structures that you can then put vocabulary in."
    From one Aussie to another: That's bloody brilliant mate.
    Edit:
    23:00 - "coffee, beer, netflix". HAHAHA.

    You are doing a great job man! As a teacher of English here in south Brazil for decades I can tell you are good man! I taught my son son all English I could and 3 years ago he went to Dublin to improve his English, and currently he is still there doing good, he´s attending CCT College (business) , and he got in contact with the Irish style English, tha´s really awesome. being in contact w/ the locals speaking like them gave him upper skills in English, I am a very proud father, practice makes perfect used to say my teachers from the past when I starting learning English in 1983 at College. In fact, I started getting in contact w/English when I watched on tv man landing on the moon back there on the '70s when I was a child, then in the very moment I decided I would learn that language guys were talking on the screen... I had success from that day on (ps: there were no mobiles, googles, and all this very importat tools everyone has gotten nowadays). I started learning by myself, then when I was 18 yo I entered College to give my English a definitive go. I have been watching your videos which are superb man. What a great masterpiece! Congrats man.
    I have spoken w/my son on whatsapp videos and he´s speaking so fluently I cant believe! Wow... You stated in this 19.Nov video that a Child has no other chance than learning a native language just because it is a matter of "survival", on the contrary, Adults dont have the same feeling which makes much more difficult for them to learn, definitely, I agree w/ you my friend, adding anotehr fact: if this same adult is sent to a distant land, as my son went, this same adult will need to learn that local language "as a matter of survival", this happened to my son, despite the fact he had learned for year and even reached a good English before travelling to Dublin, but on the island he had to make it happen by practicing on a daily basis. He´s been making it happen!.
    Learning a language as we know is a continuous process. Let´s keep practicing man! Keep up the oustanding work you have been offering us your subscribers!

    I have one question, rather a small problem. So, I can’t write grammatically. I read, watch a video, listen to a speech, talk, but when I need to write, I absolutely do not remember all the letters in the word that I write. Is there any way to improve this?
    In my native language, Russian, I just read a lot and remember the words visually or I can spell them.

  • @tomthekhmerbreed9166
    @tomthekhmerbreed9166 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great! Actually your teaching is very advanced, psychological and kind of descriptive with clear and lots of explanation. I really like it! But why not so popular to gain lots of views? Because your teaching is kind of understanding rather than remembering or acquisition for what they are seeing with their eyes (a way of teaching low levels).
    But, for me, I love this kind of psychological explanation because I can acquire your words and sentences (in chunks), and the way of speaking.
    Thanks a lot for your devotion of time!
