    Each time I watch one of your videos, I am tempted to give you five thumbs up. Unfortunately, it's not possible. Your idea of putting American and British English side by side is original and truly fantastic. Keep up the excellent work!

    Thank you guys, I simply love your lessons! I find the system of breaking down a script and explaing little by little very effective. And I love your sympatic and authentic way you explain things, please continue like that.
    Allow me one suggestion for improving your viedos: I would like to repeat only your scripts the next days again, since repeating is even more effective to really get stuck in mind. Could you mark the scripts for that you can quickly watch only the scripts? And even repeating the scripts one more time in the end of the video after your explanations, I would really like. 😃 Nice greetings from Leipzig / Germany 👋

      Hey Danny thank you so so much for your lovely thanks and feedback! Right now we are actually almost finished working on a big supplemental study pack, it will include exactly what you need: short scripts mp3s to practice just the script, more example sentences for speaking practice (brand new mp3s) and listening exercises as well! We’ll hopefully be finished by Wednesday this week so you can check back in the community for the launch! Thank you again! Please feel free to reach out with more ideas or if you have any questions ☺️

    My new regimen is to watch an episode each day. I just finished watching this one and it covered a really important topic. There were many, new useful phrases and expressions for me to learn. Whenever I come across something new while watching your podcast, I make sure to write it down in my notebook. I wish I could show it to you!
    Kat, I wanted to share that I also love getting a free breakfast when I'm on vacation. And Mark, I always prefer all-inclusive packages so I can sit back and relax 😁
    Sending much love to my teachers, Kat and Mark!

I love the idea of signing up for the city tour with the local quide to get the bearings.I fancy exploring local eateries too.

    I do love your video and it’s really a great help for the learners like me. Sometimes when talking with my friends who are native speakers about my journey after going away on vacations, I tried to describe it in a native tone but still felt it was a little bit hard for me to express well. If I had learned from this video, I think I could have done it much better😅😅Thank you so much ❤❤

    Before going on a vacation, mostly I am the one in the family who decides on the itinerary, places to visit, hotels where we stay at. I spend a chunk of time reading about the place we are headed to and decide on every detail. Even the restaurant are chosen before the visit. My husband always sticks to the plan, sometimes with a few changes along the way. Btw, ı prefer staying at boutique, local hotels. I find the staff there more accommodating and responsive. This summer, we visited the south part of France and stayed at local hotels. I still cant forget the taste of freshly baked croissants and jelly and homemade jam. I feel the warmth of it everytime ı think of this holiday. Provence is a great place to visit, ı cant help but mention it 😂

    Actually, i have a weekend getaway planned in a couple of weeks since i saw good last-minute deal pop up.
    Normally, when it comes to vacation planning, i start by making a list of destinations and whittle it down based on flight prices.
    I really prefer direct flights, but i 'll definitely book a connecting flight if the price is right.
    Booking off-season helps a lot , since i usually want to avoid the crowds during the peak season anyway.
    I try to find ones that are reasonably priced without any ridiculous layovers.
    Then when it comes to actual sightseeing, i know we can simply book a tour at the front desk, then just sit back , relax , and enjoy ourselves.

    Спасибо за интересные ролики. Мне нравится. Дарю вам ещё одну идею, помните первая была с австралийцем или канадцем. Итак, сделайте ролик, где вы просто общаетесь, например если бы встретились в баре после трудного дня и рассказывали как прошел ваш день. И конечно ваш зритель как бы сидит рядом с вами, спрашивайте его мнение о том или ином событии, как у него день прошел и все в таком стиле😊

    So many places you might want to go.

    I heard these three sentences above and my question is:
    Will it be fine whether we add “to” after go?
    Thank you very much.

      Great question!
      There's lots of places I wanna go.
      There's lots of places I wanna go to.
      Both of them sound natural, I think people would definitely say both!
      I wanna go to a lot of places: we always need "to" in this sentence.
      I wanna go here. I wanna go there. We never add "to" with here/there.
