Hi
Sorry for being late, I had loads of work to do so I have just listened to your fresh video. Anyway , I loved your video because I got a new expression. Besides, I loved that moustache which appeared on Faife face. Thanks

[@nawarnawar5822]

Why don't you pronounce the ' r' letter in the word influencer and so many words? I'm more comfortable with pronouncing it, maybe because of the American movies and series that have a huge impact on the way non-native speakers pronounce a word.

[@이은민-r3x]

It's world used a lot in Korea these days.

[@bbclearningenglish]

You mean 'a word'?

[@이은민-r3x]

Yes, It means a person who has a great influence on society. It also mean social media celebrities.
