Gracias saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay 🙋🇺🇾
The teachers spoke English very clearly, it wasn't too accented so it was easy for non-natives to understand. I watched it without english subtitles.
Thank you very much😊
Very good!

I totally like this "How to talk about Something" series... it really helps us, the non-native English learners, get a real impression of how it is to talk about something in a daily English life. 😃

" I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. Playing batminton or something like that can be fun. I play batminton, every sunday with my family in our home garden. My brother is tge one who got me into it. Personally I don't really care about the game or who wins. For me the most important thing is just spend time outdoors in the fresh air with my family because spend time with my family is the best thing I like to do. It brings me a great sense of satisfaction. "

I used to be a football fan. I'd played football in every Saturday evening for a long time, as a midfield in a team of 5. For me, hanging out and having beer with friends after matches is important. Recently I've got into go jogging but I usually meet my former teammates for drinking after playing sport.

I'm not athletic but I program to work out 4 times a week at home. 2 months ago I was playing football with my relatives. after the first game, I felt pain in my foot because before the game I had not got ready and warmup. sport for me is a way to keep in shape and stay healthy and staying outdoors with my relatives and make a good time
Nice responses. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '..but I usually work out...' not, 'I program to'.
2) '...not got ready or warmed up,' not, '...not got ready and warmup'.
3) '...shape, stay healthy, and stay outdoors...' not, '...shape and stay healthy and staying outdoors...'
Hope this is useful for you!
Thanks allmy teacher
Thx what a great lesson
Thank you so much
I’ve always been sporty and the sports I enjoyed changed with my age. In my period of middle school, I was very interested in playing basketball and almost played it every day with some classmates in the playground inside our campus. For me, there is no better feeling than scoring. But I found playing badminton weirdly fascinating during my college. I went to a class twice a week at the sports centre to play it under the guidance of teachers. The most important thing is the fabulous feeling of smash. At present, l usually tend to go to the gym or go jogging once a week. Personally, I just like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting in an office all day.
Excellent response! You used great phrases. Here is a suggestion for you:
'...feeling of the smash,' not, 'of smash'.
Hope this helps you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thanks!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 I’m an American and you constantly say, do you like sport do you like sport sport? Now can you learn American English and they say do you like sports? so yeah you don’t care about American English and you don’t think it’s a thing. Then SCREW YOU!!!!!!!
It is awesome lesson thank you so much i hope you give the best lesson next time.
Thank you!
I really like your lessons and the way you teach. I've always been interested in sport. I played football at school and in the streets, but recently I got into the gym thrice a week. I generally like sports but I'm not a fanatic playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't take it too seriously. In fact I just like the feeling of getting physicall activity like doing some weight training session after getting back from the school. For me the most important thing is just staying healthy and and spending time outdoors in the fresh air.
Thanks for sharing your great response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...I got into going to the gym,' not, 'I got into the gym'.
2) '...not a fanatic. Playing football or something like that can be fun...' not, '...playing football or something like that can be fun...'.
3) '...the feeling of doing physical activity,' not, '...the feeling of getting physicall activity'.
Hope this helps you!
I really loved this lesson. I'm a sporty person and I go running and swimming regularly. Also, I weight training three times a week for muscle recovery. Concerning dance, it is for my emotional side.
Nice, Fernanda. Thanks for sharing. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'Also, I do weight training,' or, 'Also, I weight train,' not, 'I weight training'.
2) It might be better to say something like: 'I also dance for my emotional side,' instead of, 'Concerning dance, it is for my emotional side'.
Hope this helps you!

Thank u for the lessons
" Well, to be honest , I'm not a fanatic, however, I have been playing badminton since my teacher taught me about this sport which is considered as a fundamental subject at school. Having immersted in this sport for the part of the last 4 years, I find it really captivating . Now, I often play badminton in daily afternoon after a hectic working schedule so as to refresh my mind and recharge my batteries for the next day."
Thanks for sharing, Thao. Nicely done! Here are a few suggestions for you:

I have many sports that I like. I used to go jogging once a week, but I also like cardio very much. I usually choose cardio because I love fast music. I have fun when I play Volleyball with my friend. I try to run every Saturday, but every day I go for a long walk.
Sport is very important in our lives.
Thanks for sharing your response, Ania. Nice answer. Here is one suggestion for you:
It's not necessary to capitalize sport names like 'volleyball'.
Hope this helps you!

It's been 7 month. Since i watched this channel and i still use subtitle😊
I didn't use to play sports, but now I do a lot. I find playing badminton very relaxing. I am used to getting up early every morning and playing this kind of sport with my beloved mother at the end of our detached house. We usually play it for one and a half hours. I just like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting in the classroom for hours on end every single day. For me, the most crucial thing is spending quality time with my mother outdoors in the fresh air. I love competing. There's no better feeling than beating my mother after a tiring badminton match. I am not adept at yoga, and I only took it up a couple of weeks ago at a local gym near my house. It takes me about fifteen minutes to go there by my electric bike.I've been doing it for three months now. I'm into this kind of exercise because I can easily find equanimity through it. Practicing yoga regularly also helps me increase productivity at work.
Excellent response! Very nicely done!
Sports is always helpful for people. It strengthens not only social bonding but also health. Sporty person is always been healthy and their life expectancy is more than that of general people. That is why i get into sports to be honest.
*Hello, thank you very much for your lessons!!! And, please, load your video more often!)) And, please, make moe bigger your comments on the screen. Thanks!*
Hello
We're glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Thank you. You are good teachers.
Thanks
You're welcome, Nguyen!
To be honest, I am not a sports fanatic, and I am not very athletic. Recently I did some sports exercises for losing weight and it was really challenging for me... But now I sometimes do stretching, because I am always in a sitting position and for this reason my body needs stretching. And also I like the feeling of getting some physical activity after sitting position all day. I really hope I someday I will love sports and I will do it every day for 20-30 minutes.
As for stretching I do it usually at home two times a week. To do stretching, I need a special rug which I bought in WB. I usually watch videos on UA-cam on Imagine Fitness chanel. This is a really usefull chanel where you can do stretching, thanks to this chanel I really became more flexible.
Do sports, it is very good for your health!)
take care.
The sir's english is very well
You are clear as water, good!
tis emzing lovely thanks so much
Yes, ofcourse. I love doing sports,I find sports very relaxing.recently I got into cycling,though Im not really fanatic. I also like wathching sports I usually watch Olympic sports festival.
Nice response. Here are some tips:
1) 'I'm not really a fanatic,' not, 'Im not really fanatic.'
2) '...watching sports. I usually watch the Olympics...' not, '...wathching sports I usually watch Olympic sports festival.'
Hope this helps you!
I enjoy some sport though. I'm not a fanatic, playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it to seriously and I find watching sport quite boring however swimming very relaxing for me . When I was in Ukraine and at my school I played volleyball but I found volleyball much more difficult to play then I was expecting .I played twice a week and after school I and my beast friends played badminton .I really enjoyed it .I didn't really care about the game who wins we played for about 1 hour . I just played with my friends and had a good time .
In English school I did dance but I didn't was good dancer and I really didn't want to did like this, so now I do dance in my town in sports center once a week
I from Ukraine and most people support all sport especially football, basketball and dance .
I really enjoy your lessons especially "How to talk about... " I enjoy some sports though I'm not a fanatic. My mother got me into playing volleyball. I used to play it at school and at the university. I participated in some games at a local sports hall but I don't play anymore because of the lack of time. The process of the game is more important to me than a victory.
As my city is located by the sea I've learned how to swim. I go swimming in the sea every summer and sometimes in autumn.
It's easier for me to do individual sports than play team games because of my work schedule. So I started going on fitness sessions and doing pilates which is very relaxing. Though I miss volleyball session where we learned how to cooperate and had a lot of fun.
this teacher his voice is good
I really enjoyed playing football. I play three times a week with my friends. I started playing football when I was young. I was very good at playing football, but now I got old. So that, I can't play it the way I used to.
Great response, Ahmed. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) If it's not true now, you can say: 'I used to play three times a week...' not, 'I play'.
2) '...but I got old,' or, '...but now I am old,' not, '...but now I got old'.
3) 'So I can't play it...' not, 'So that, I can't play it...'
Hope this helps you!

Thanks, the most useful lesson)
I love sport by some reasons, although i am not fanatic. Firstly, i love do exercise and play football because it not only help me to stay fit and healthy but also to socialize and release stress. Plus, I extremely like the exhausted feeling after do exercise. Secondly, I love watching sport game on TV, especially Olympic game because it is not only diverse in kinds of games which never makes you bored, but also through the game, you can understand more about culture and people from all over the world
Great, Diep! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'I love sport for some reasons...' not, 'by'.
2) '...I am not a fanatic,' not, '...i am not fanatic'.
3) 'Firstly, I love to do exercise...' not, 'Firstly, i love do exercise'.
Hope this is useful for you!

I love football and i hope i will play for a football club one day .
Thanks for sharing, Hà. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Always put punctuation marks like periods and commas at the end of each word and then the space: 'For me, football is my favorite sport. I have...' not, 'for me , football is my favorite sport . I have...'.
2) 'I have loved it since I was young,' not, 'I have loved since i was young'.

We need a lot of videos I am very appreciate way you teach English thank very much indeeed
Thank you for the lesson, it really help us so much! Here's my long asnwer:
"Personally, I enjoy practicing sports however I'm not that into it. For instance, I often do exercise with my sister and rarely by myself. I just like the feeling of doing some helthy and having a good time. Actually, I think that it can be pretty fun if we suit to our way of training. In othe news, I fancy doing Tai Chi thought I'm not take it too seriously. I just do it because I find it quite relaxing and de-stressing. In addition, I do it often on the mornings after get up but sometimes in the afternoon with my sister, as well. For me, there's no better feeling than start the day in a calm mood.
Hi there. Thanks for watching the lesson. Here are some suggestions for your response:
1) '...sports, however, I'm not...' not, '...sports however I'm not...'
2) '...doing something healthy...' not, '...doing some helthy...'
3) '...if we adapt it to our way of training...' is a bit better than, 'suit to our way of training.'
Hope this helps you!
Thanks for this lesson
You're welcome, Blas!
I find playing sports weirdly fascinating .I love to play and watch sports such as foot ball.I play football in the playground with my friends.For me the most important part is spending time out side with companions.I don't care about winning.Just want to enjoy some fresh air.
Thanks for watching and sharing your responses, Thuresh! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'football' and 'outside' are one word.
2) '...fan of sport, but I...' not, '...sport.but I...'
3) '...do sports such as swimming,' not, 'play.'
Hope this helps you!
great topic
Glad you enjoyed it!
To be honest, I'm not really sporty and I've always found watching sports rather dull. The only sport I've ever played is football. The reason why I played football was that it was a great way to hang out with my friends while doing some exercise. We used to play five-a-side football every saturday night. However we haven't played since the pandemic started (and I haven't seen them either). So what I do now is dance workout as it is an indoor activity and it's great for improving your fitness, too. I really got into it a couple of months ago. The best part of it is that you can find tons of dance workout videos on youtube so you can do it on your own in the comfort of your home.
Hi Romina. Thanks for watching the lesson and sharing your response. You used some excellent phrases. Nice job. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Don't forget the comma here: 'However, we haven't...'
2) '...is a dance workout,' or, '...are dance workouts,' not, '...is dance workout.'
Hope this is useful for you!
I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. At the beginning, I started a few yoga classes at a studio near my house. For a while, I find yoga absolutely amazing as there's no better feeling than relax after a tiring section. For nearly a year, I practiced yoga everyday. For me, yoga classes is also a social side to meet some friends at weekend. However, I do not take that too seriously.
Thanks for sharing your reply! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'For a while now, I've found yoga absolutely amazing...' not, 'For a while, I find yoga...'.
2) '...no better feeling than relaxing after...' not, '...no better feeling than relax after...'.
3) '...yoga classes also have a social side...' not, '...yoga classes is also a social side...'.
Hope this is useful for you!
I like it very much
I'm not that into sport, to be honest. I'm not very athletic but I found doing yoga very relaxing. I started doing yoga three months ago. I go to the class twice a week at the yoga center near my house. At first, I wanted a new hobby and I liked the physical activities after sitting in an office all day. But, I really enjoy doing yoga and I think I'll start training more regularly. Because, I aware that my body is getting fit as well as my mind is calm. I love doing yoga in the morning to get much more energy for the whole day and I can't live without it.
Hi Shwe Yin. Thanks for watching this lesson and sharing your response about sports. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) It may be better to say, 'I find doing yoga very relaxing,' rather than, 'found.'
2) '...liked doing physical activity after sitting...' may be what you meant instead of, '...liked the physical activities after sitting...'
3) '...regularly because I am aware that...' not, '... regularly. Because, I aware that...'
Hope this is useful for you!
Thank you for your lesson.
To be honest, I enjoy practising some sports, but I'm not a fanatic. I'm interested in playing badminton and going swimming, but I don't want to take it too seriously. I live by the sea, therefore, I usually go swimming with my friend there. It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach. I have loved it since I was young. For me, Swimming is very fun and relaxing and I can hang out with my friend. Furthermore, I do like feeling healthy, keeping fit and improving my flexibility. Swimming is a wonderful sport.
Thanks for sharing your response, Thi! Here are some corrections for you:
1) What do you mean, 'It takes me three a week to enjoy the beach'? Did you mean, 'I go to the beach three times a week'?
2) It's not necessary to capitalize 'swimming' in the middle of a sentence.
Hope this is useful for you!

Thank you very much, I liked this video 😊😊😊

I have always been really sporty
Though I’m not a fantastic. Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and I have been playing since I was kid , I play 5- a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 120 minute match. For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don’t really care about the game, or who wins. I just like having a lough with some good friends.
I often play twice a week also I have matches once a week, sometimes in our town and sometimes in other cities that helps me strengthen my muscles because while playing, I have to move continuously. It is good to burn calories as well and no batter feeling than when you’re tired after a good game. I find watching football either offline or online.
Going to the stadium, shouting and cheering are good to release stress also to hang out with some of your friends and relax. My favourite team that I like is Barcelona football club.
Sports are sources of recreation. People can learn how to encourage team spirit when they play sports , too.
Love you so much ❤️ I like you very much
I've never done sport seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in free time I like cycling. I prefer doing that on my own. That makes me feel better when I'm alone with my thoughts.
Thanks for watching and sharing your response! A few tips:
- Try not to begin sentences with conjunctions. Instead of, '...seriously. And I find doing sport difficult. But in...' you could say, '...seriously, and I find doing sport difficult, but in...'
Hope this helps you!

We book a playground near to my house, honestly it's a sport center that located in near to my house , we enjoy playing and make fan, it's useful for us because we have a lot of free time by that we can spend many time and we will be outdoor of stress
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your great response! Here are a few suggestions for you:

At the time of the bachelor. I had a sports course. before the course, I wasn't sporting at school. the first day I went to the hall I saw the other students so happy but I had not happy. the teacher told us to run for 10 minutes. after 3 minutes I was very tired and I couldn't run. after the class, all of my muscles have ached. but I found the sport is a good way to stay healthy but I'm lazy and did not continue the exercising
I 😊do a lot of cycling
I have been doing it since 1976
Really enjoyable vid!
