Hod?

We're so glad it's helping you learn quickly!

So glad you found it helpful!

From Indonesia! 🙌 Thanks for watching!!

For sure! Even more, mastery means being able to capture nuances with different "levels" of words. Aiming for this as a nonnative speaker is not impossible but very time-consuming!

Wow, from Brazil! Thank you for watching!❤

Hii brother can I asked u something

❤We are so glad these videos help you grow!!

@@motivation7944 yeah

We’re glad it helped! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We do not have IELTS-specific courses; we have integrated skills courses ✅

Merry Christmas!!☺

You are most welcome!

Thank you for your encouragement; it means a lot to us! ❤

Hi Juan! We have a Southern accent, but it is far gentler than what you would hear walking around in the South. Like many teachers and communicators, we have subconsciously softened our natural accents to be more clear while speaking publicly.

We’re from Arkansas!

That’s encouraging to us because that’s why we do this! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you! Slow, but steady! 💪

You’re welcome! ☺️

GREAT question! So, we suggest a variety of things. 1) Don’t make every video or podcast a study session; you want to enjoy things in English, too! 2) Listen through the whole section without looking anything up. Repeat the sentence, read the subtitles, and guess what the overall meaning is. Then, look up the word in English to see if you were right. 3) Translating back to your first language should be the last resort. Ultimately, you want to use English without any crutches, so start practicing without translating as soon as you reach the intermediate level. 4) Don’t be a perfectionist! Natural English is not spoken properly unless it is polished by a communicator, so challenge yourself to speak and write-even if it’s not perfect 👍

We focus most on the content! Editing takes hours every week for one video, but it’s only there to point to what we are discussing-not to be the main factor!

​@@waiguofriendsenglish I do think having good editing allows the viewer to engage with the content more and allows for the topics of discussion to be more clear. On the other the hand, bad editing can distract the viewer, diverting their attention away from the content and may even result them stopping the video all together

Really loved this video! I wrote down some notes and am going to put all the tips into practice right away. Speaking of the editing of the video, from my perspective, it was very good! Keep doing it the way you are doing it, don't add extra time to spend editing the videos, it's already perfect and the content is amazing! Thank you so much!!

@@victorsantos-global We are so glad you found these tips helpful, and that you will put them into practice right away! Keep up the good work! Thank you for the encouragement on video editing! Feedback helps us keep refining what we do!

@@kane2734 That's true! The trick is knowing good vs. bad editing--it's subjective! We keep things fairly simple and low-key on purpose, but some would say that it's bad or lazy editing. We are just thankful to be able to put these videos out on UA-cam to help whomever is interested in them!

Hi! 👋

Thank you so much! It is interesting that you lose English the more you speak it. Do you mean that you struggle with getting the right words and order out while speaking? If so, that would make total sense while you learn another language and speak multiple languages. We’ll put together a video on this!

You're welcome!

Yes! "Level up" can be a verb (He leveled up his speaking by practicing daily for three months.), an adjective (His leveled-up speaking caught his teacher's attention.), or a noun (He wants a level up for his speaking skills before going into university.). Great listening!

That's hilarious! We don't always realize we are doing it, but we speak on camera the way we often speak in group settings (and we are married, so that probably contributes). The way we look between the camera, each other, and around the room is very similar to our body language in group conversations, which may be helpful for you to observe!

Do you mean on a test?

You're welcome 😊

How neat that you found Amber there!

Wow, that’s awesome!! We are excited for your journey! 🙌

Thanks so much! We’re glad it was helpful for you!

You're welcome! 😊

Hi there! Yes and no. Prepositions can have different meanings in different contexts, like whether we are describing time, space, direction, tangible things, or intangible things. Moreover, some prepositions overlap in meaning, but they don’t always do so in phrasal verbs. So, “to care about” is very different from “to care for” and “to take care of.” They are tough to get straight!

Good! The only reason you would need it is if you were translating something you are not sure about literally. As soon as you can go without, do it!

You're welcome! ☺️

Does AI do a good job in your native language? We have found that AI gives a lot of generic, flat language. It’s got a long way to go before it creates depth of meaning, interesting word choices, or much character.

Foreign Friends English-you got it! 👏 You’re the first to point it out 🙃

Agreed! We are big proponents of not translating back and forth. It makes focus and grasping the target language easier. We have met several people working to translate right away (due to circumstances or work), so we presented both methods in this video 👍

🙃Do you have any favorite listening channels?

Yes that's Cally Clarkson show

@@tridibbairagi4087 Nice!

You're very welcome! 😄
