      Can you see what happened to the children, to the women, and to the Palestinians in general? They were killed, displaced, killed, their feet were cut off, and they were prevented from anesthesia during surgical operations while wearing that sweater. The Palestinians do not have homes, only tents, in this harsh winter.

    The dulcet tones of a pristine English voice, almost ethereal, saved this Logophile across the pond from his midlife angst, and blessed him with an epiphany: why not subscribe to the channel of this ineffably appealing teacher of English, and learn the quintessence of the love of language? Far more than a momentary euphoria, the knowledge and joy would last an eternity! A thing of beauty, not to be approached surreptitiously for nefarious purposes: he shall cherish the plethora of wisdom imparted to him all the way to his docile waning years.

Surprisingly, when I go to youtube, I just had an urge to watch this video and here comes the beautiful words from the book such as angst and ineffable.Both of the words will become my fav words ever.
    Thank you for the amazing content and for those who've been trying,struggling and putting up with everything, it's never too late to read that book.I promise you won't regret. The book's name is "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down".

Your pronunciation and story of 'ethereal' was cute, and knowledge of vowel sounds, open and closed syllables and r controlled syllables, and of course many more spelling rules as taught in structured literacy, hopefully helps now.

      At least one of those beautiful words origins from German. It’s the word “angst” and it’s the only one I don’t like. In German, it’s often used as an idiom “German angst” , and it describes an all around fearful pessimistic approach to problems or a crisis. Phonetically I do not like the accumulation of consonants very much.

This lovely video was quite an epiphany for me, dissolving the angst I experience from the 'Z' generation's ignorance and lack of respect for our beautiful tongue. The euphoria generated by your winsom words will make me cherish this experience for an eternity as the quintessence of how English should be taught. I look forward to a plethora of further lessons knowing they will likely be just as pristine as this one. I will try to surreptitiously introduce these words into my vocabulary to avoid appearing pretentious to my friends and colleagues. Please know how much I enjoyed your dulcet vocalisations and how I hope my rather aggressive feelings on the subject, thanks to so much misuse, (even by BBC and other media presenters), will now be more docile.

    Dear Lucy, I love these words (and your lessons) as well. I wasn't aware of this particular meaning of "quintessence". In German, "Quintessenz" means only "the main idea, thought, content" (acc. to Duden Online). Cheers, Dino, a terminologist from Switzerland

      According to Merriam-Webster, the word has this meaning in English as well: "the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form".
      But I was quite surprised, that the word is pronounced "quin-tes-sence" in English. In German we say "Quint-es-senz" (the t belongs to the first syllable). Which is probably a bit closer to the word's origin, which is the Medieval Latin "quinta essentia".

    High Lucy, I have enjoyed the lesson of 15 uncommon words and learned new words that I couldn't even be able to pronounce. My knowledge in English is enhancing bit by bit. Kind regards
