    I've been wanting to start my own channel for a long time and after months of watching and learning from you I was able to just shake off the stress and actually film and post my first video.
    I just wanted to take a second to thank you for that 🥰

    I have been very hesitant in learning how to create videos, but after listening to your instructions and being encouraged by you I am ready to begin. I teach visual art and I have a great need to put instructional videos online to assist my students in grasping techniques. I'm so glad I found you Salma Jafri!

    We have been working on trying to add this into our format instead of starting with our title (channel name) intro. You always do a great job giving concrete examples. We are glad we found you through your collab with Nick Nimmin.

    • @SalmaJafri

      Yeah it can be hard to switch formats when you've been doing it one way a while. I try to find the easiest and most painless way to do something so I don't procrastinate it. In your case, literally just do it with you next video!

    Hey Salma, I observed something with your last 2 videos. The sound/audio is a little different from previous ones. Perhaps there's a change in the room or studio you're using or maybe position of the mic. I might be wrong. And please know you're totally awemazing (awesome + amazing) 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

    I use two types , sometimes I start with a question, like are you trying to make pulao but the rice always turns out to be a mush . I also start by story telling like first telling the name of the dish (showing the end product of the dish), then carry on with the rest.
    And yes I would love to watch the translation video.

    6:18 I'm probably going to use the story hook for my upcoming video next week. I'm probably going to do a video on my opinion on how much does learning a foreign language cost. I remember my language partner sharing with me article about a government spending a whole lot of money for a government official to learn French. I'm going to find that story again, and probably use it as my intro. I'll also share about how much money I've spent so far to learn Spanish among other things.

    I am enjoying your video’s but am finding that they could be a tad shorter, I have found that I am pushing the video along to get to the next point (which gets frustrating as I have to then go back and forth if I have misjudged it) - but I usually listen to men who can be a bit more to the point. Love your personality though and your information is good - just be great to be a bit more succinct.
