This topic is very interesting and useful. Actually, it seems a little bit difficult and needs efforts to be mastered. Thank you so much for you smooth easy was of explaining. I've enjoyed learning something new.
The truth is that I never knew even if anything like collocations exist. Our teacher of English shared a link with the whole class and I bet I haven't watched a more precise and conceptually crystal clear lesson ever. This channel is great initiative taken and must be continued so the true spirit of vocal and written English could be observed in the student as well as in a common man.
This is what I was looking for in my entire life. This is the word that I need to know and use in real life. It is a way that will make me look unique and distinguished.
I really love my mother. She has a youthful appearance with a fair complexion, an oval face, a straight nose and beautiful sleek , shoulder-length hair although she is actually almost sixty-five. My mother has a radiant smile with two dimples, and that's why she is always the centre of attention when she goes out. She used to work as a primary teacher, so I can confide in her whenever I have some problems related to my study or current job. She occasionally goes to Buddhist temples to say Buddhist chants and do volunteer work. She loves meditation because it helps her improve both her physical and emotional health.
Thanks for sharing yoru response, Vy Ngo! Here is a suggestion for you: '...hair even though she is actually almost sixty-five,' not, 'although'. Hope this helps you!
I barely found this and I'm sure this is pure gold. I already knew that but I didn't know how to call it, now I'm know it is called English collocations. From now on, this will be my new working tool.
I have no words in my pocket to thank you enough. This information is such a turning point for me. For any non-native who does not know how to think in English, must watch this video to see the reason why it’s not happening. Unfortunately, there are two critical mistakes in our education system which leads to this problem; first one is that we are not taught to learn the language as phrases or sentences but word by word. Second, our education and test system does not measure our 4 skills. Therefore, we can not speak or write as real English speakers do because we are educated so far away from “active learning” structure. I never knew that with one video (collocations), my life would change entirely. I want to keep saying “Eureka”! You are not teaching a language here, you are teaching a culture and how to think or how to change our thinking concept, which was never told us before, as foreigners. We need more realistic education system to keep up with the most of the world. Please keep showing the unseen part more ! Thanks a lot..
hello dear teachers, how are you??? i want say that there are so many interesting in english that we dont know and some of them are not in books and we cant find it in , i am very glad that you give so many fresh and usefull information to us/ thanks for your job
Thank you so much, after years your video helped me, and now I understand quite better this topic, of course I have to practice more to get it 100%, but now I think it'll be easier to learn.
This might have be the best online learning class ever if I didn’t get interrupted ;-; Btw, I support you guys a lot! This video was really helpful for me to understand, a few minutes of listening to your explanation is way more easier to understand than sitting for hours listening and reading something that is so academic and I do not understand anything. You guys have to upload more videos like this, it’ll help english community grow a lot more easier!
I fully enjoy your lessons, they are utterly useful. Thanks a lot! Recently I found the collocation "heavy sleeper". At first I thought it refers to someone who sleeps a lot, but I was wrong. If I´m right it´s a person who doesn´t wake up easily when sleeping.
Very helpful to me. I have been looking for a place where I can improve my listening English for ages. When I first watch the UA-cam video, I felt I have missed a lot. Now I watch it twice a day.
It is, but as we say in the video, the line between what is or isn't a collocation is quite vague. You could see phrasal verbs as a type of collocation, although obviously phrasal verbs have their own unique features, too.
Hi dear professor Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your follower from Algeria
When I studied grammar 50 years ago, I did not know the concept of "collocation". If the combination of words don't convey each word meaning literally, we call it "idiom". The grammar textbook then suggests remembering them as is. No need to find reason behind such combination. An E-E dictionary is the key to learn idioms. For me, Hornby's Oxford Advanced Learners provided me with meanings of idioms. I did not use flash cards or any artificial learning devices. Just reading extensively was the key to remember "idiom" or "collocation".
Thank you so much for this very useful video which is Worth watching. However,I think that collocations are so difficult to be mastered. Spending time on listening to authentic English may make non-English speakers overcome this crucial issue.😄😄😄 enjoy your time 😍😍
😃In my point of view. It is really a bug and built a barrier to understand. I hope one day, when above 50% person speak English around the world. We could have a universal standard for these...
This was an incredible lesson!!. I was just reading an article and looking for collocations. Fortunately, I found out lots of them, but I wasn't capable to figure out how to remember all the different collocations in the long term and how to organize all of them. I started by making a list of them, but after listening to your video I realized that I was making the wrong choice. You are totally right when you said that it's better making full sentences meaningful for me and choosing some groups of topics for all of them. I really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!!!!!!.
I've always found each one of your pages really useful ! You explain the subjects so clearly and to the point with a large number of examples and practical as well as realistic tips !!!
This topic is very interesting and useful. Actually, it seems a little bit difficult and needs efforts to be mastered. Thank you so much for you smooth easy was of explaining. I've enjoyed learning something new.

Since I watched this video, I have acquired a new skill. "Collocation Detector".
Learning collocations is extremely significant.

Thanks for the comment, Wilfried! You're right; a 'heavy sleeper' is someone who doesn't wake up easily.
My thesis will be about this topic. Thanks for the video!
Very helpful to me. I have been looking for a place where I can improve my listening English for ages. When I first watch the UA-cam video, I felt I have missed a lot. Now I watch it twice a day.

I'm going to write FCE test on the month of November.
I think this will help me to score higher marks.Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
6:50 I found nearly all of them in the text, but feel 'catch up' is just a phrasal verb.
Very good video, thanks a lot

The video trickles my fancy, Many thanks to the Authors
