Your vids are really helpful. I'm going to take an exam on 16 August, and spelling & number parts of the listening were a nightmare for me. Now with your help, my ears are getting more used to them. I wish you much more success in your life!
Glad I could help! All the best with your exam!!
Excellent video Max!!! Extremely useful!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful videos!
I love Max’s accent, it’s a neutral and standard Australian accent. Rare UA-cam English teachers use that kind of accent for teaching. I think it’s great, you know not all the non-native speakers are in America or England , there are so many students like me in Australia and really need to learn Aussie English.
Thank you, Pamela :). I hope you're enjoying your time in Australia!
Well done, this Sunday morning
Very difficult, but really fun.
Thank you for your effort.
👍
In the first set, I thought "Let's just listen" but the voices literally didn't wait for my thought process.😂 I was thinking just let them be and I would write them down comfortably but my thought was totally wrong. After hitting me hard, in the second set, I was concentrating on hearing all of them and almost I got them.(Not 100% perfect) I'm not preparing for IELTS but different English tests. This was a good and fresh challenge to me, Thanks.💕
Yep, unfortunately we sometimes have to concentrate more than at other times 😁. Thanks for watching and all the best for your tests! ❤️
Well done! It was really useful. Thanks for your helpful videos.
My pleasure!
Thanks

Great job!
Where are you ma'am. No more videos??????
I haven't disappeared, but I recently moved, so I've been quite busy lately. I hope to start making videos again soon!
Thank you for your comment :)
@@EnglishwithMax ok ma'am I'll wait
Love from India.....
❤️💙💚💛💓💞👍
Teacher Max, Can I say " The nurse requested my ID card to check my particulars into the computer system"? Thank you
Hi Fong! We say "in the computer system", and it would be better to say "details" instead of "particulars" here. :)
I did well, but sometimes I'm not sure if I should say the conjunction and.
When the number is money, we don't say the point that precedes the cents, do we.? For instace,
The hydroplant cost US$ 2,321,,467,593.78 reads
The hydroplant cost two billion, three hundred and twenty one million, four hundred and sixty seven thousand, five hundred and ninety dollars seventy eight.
If the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius bellow zero, should I say negative 3 or minus 3 degrees Celsius?
Thank you very much for your video. You rule!
This has nothing to do with this video, but do the words year and ear have the same pronunciation?
Good questions :).
1. Yes, we would say that number like that.
But be aware that some Americans don't put an "and" after the hundreds. ;) E.g. They would just say: three hundred twenty one million.
2. For the temperature, you can say either, but it's much more common to say "minus 3 degrees (celsius)". When speaking, we normally just say: "It is/was minus 3."
3. No, they sound a bit different. Click on the loudspeakers to hear them:

I hope that helps!
You look so pretty
I love u so much. From Egypt u are very nice i. Have a small question for u what diffirent between i think and i'm thinking
Thank you :).
Basically "I think" is for expressing an opinion and "I'm thinking" is to talk about something that is going through your mind at a certain moment. I hope that helps a bit...
Hello teacher! It's a nice lesson. Where are you from? Like your accent
Australia :)
@@EnglishwithMax lovely your accent😍
@@EnglishwithMax i would like to have a teacher ielts like you, would you have any course to improve my writing?
@@whereareyoufromahmed7002 No, unfortunately I don't. You might find something on Udemy, though. Or a specialised teacher on italki. All the best!
Teacher Max,I'm Fong here, which sentence is correct below?
1) I want to go to toilet.
2) I want to go to "the" toilet.
What's the difference ??
Hi Fong!
Sorry for not replying sooner.
The second one is correct. The first one is incorrect because here the article (the) is necessary. I hope that helps!
@@EnglishwithMax thank you,teacher Max,yup I will always remember what you taught me.
Hi Max, it wasn't easy, I got only 13/20 as I am not used to hear these number and fractions.
Thanks
That's not bad! 👍
It was very difficult.
Do you pronounce the "th" sound in : fifth, ninth and eighth?!!
Yes :)
as the number increases catching all is getting harder but possible with attention
👍👍
18 out of 20 . I guess it's ok
Well done!!
The real problem with big numbers is that when you hear #thousand or #hundred, directly you try to realize that this is a big number and at the same time, the speaker is citing the others numbers and you're lost😅😅
Very true :)
Teacher Max,I'm Fong here, it's really confusing ,for example:
1) He has a good education.
A) He has good education.
2) He found a job with a good pay.
B) He found a job with good pay.
What's the difference?
Why do the uncountable nouns take an article *a*?
1) is correct
and
B) is correct
The first one is correct because "education" can either be uncountable or singular (with "a"). But I can't think of a time when you could say "educations".
B is correct because "pay" is always uncountable.
I hope that helps!
@@EnglishwithMax thank you ,teacher Max,you're a great teacher,I always watch your videos.
Very hard to me. I did just six. haha
Don't worry :). I think even native speakers would have to concentrate a lot to get them all. 😉
Hello
👋
You looks like an Indian actress named priti zinta
Haha, some other people have told me that too.
4/20 too bad
Awfully hurt for me ((
Correct 11 out of 20 🤦♀️🤦♀️
But it's helpful. Thanks
i got wrong almost all :(
Just keep practising!
It was not very easy.
