Hi Katharine! I'm a university student and I study Chinese and I have no English classes. But I used to learn English regularly and I'm afraid of missing my skills now, so I need some practice from time to time. My uni is far away from my home, it's actually situated in another city, so it takes me almost 2 hours daily to commute. But I realized that this time is a great opportunity to do some practice. I can listen to natives or read some short articles. I'm on my way to uni right now and I've just watched this video. It has helped me so much, like I have more motivation and confidence now! Thank you for your support
Happy New Year Katharine. Thanks for your enthusiasm and spark. Here are two motivational quotes from the Harry Potter books which drive me, maybe you'll like them: "Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen." - Remus Lupin and "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Dumbledore
Kat, happy new year!!!! January is a good month, because every passing by day approach you to the warm season! Positivity and optimism must be the light to follow to make our life a great life! Kat you are THE positivity, you are THE optimism and you are THE beauty in person! I wanna warn you...your smile is contagious! I just cut out on alchool and fortunately, being a sporty man, this should help me living a healthier life. My resolutions for 2024 are easy...being a kind and generous person, always with a smile painted on my face and ready to help people if they're going through hard times. I hope to improve my english skills and get to know you better. Last but not least is to visit London, because I've never been there in my life...I feel ashamed of it! You're a number one, Kat, never forget it! Lots of kisses from Rome!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow, you must have read my mind. You modern psychology is amazing, especially in how you put it into practice. You know a lot for a young woman. Great advice for those who are practicing their English. It is funny that you mentioned January as a good start to practice the positive things in life. Believe it or not, I started in what you advised not this January but last January. I started writing my first novel, which is a realistic romance novel, and completed the draft in nine months. The following three months was self-editing and now it is in the publisher’s hand. Talk about goals, you really ‘hit it on the nail’. Good for your young learners. Anyway, looking forward to your 2024 videos.
Best wishes for the year ahead Kat , a brand new start . and thank you for pouring us some positivity ! I definitely recommend you Yoga , for staying calm and take it easy when things take a different turn as scheduled . I usually follow your videos on my laptop , but as I travel a lot by train, and as a dissipated traveller, looking for elegant, gentleman-like and comfortable ways to travel , I recently figured out how to follow your videos on the train on my smartphone , so a good intention / resolution in 2024 will be - English with Kat " On the go " .
Hello dear Katharine, happy new year! I hope your spirit and positivity are contagious to all of your viewers around the globe! I'm one of those from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hi, Katharine... December's the party; January is the hangover. Ive always thought this, lol. But having seen your video I think Ill begin 2024 with your positive mindset! I love how you're helping so many people with their English with your wonderful teaching skills. A great presence in front of the camera. You're a natural! I hope you have a great 2024🎉🎸🌹
Hi Katharine. A new year, a new video, a new lesson. Thanks for your time and dedication in recording these kind of videos and lessons which help me a lot to improve my English performance. Bye for now!
Happy New Year Katherine. I always want to find new vocabularies from your English classes Katherine. You are teaching me good English everyday and I love those valuable sayings made by world famous speakers. May God bless you my best teacher Katherine
I love January: it’s like a Fresh Start! 🚀First, it resonates with my love for change, and second, it’s the month I was born! 🎂 January - a month of new beginnings and fresh opportunities. 🎉✨ Did you know that our emotions during change follow a pattern? It’s called the Emotional Cycle of Change, and understanding it can make a world of difference. 1️⃣ Excitement: January kicks off with excitement, the thrill of a new beginning. Embrace this positive energy! 2️⃣ Denial: As reality sets in, there might be a phase of denial. It’s okay; change takes time to sink in. 3️⃣ Frustration: Challenges arise, and frustration may follow. Stay resilient - this is a natural part of the process. 4️⃣ Depression: A dip in motivation might happen. Don’t be too hard on yourself; it’s temporary. 5️⃣ Experiment: Trying new things leads to the experimentation phase. Keep exploring; innovation often comes from this phase. 6️⃣ Decision: A turning point! Decision-making becomes clearer, and commitment strengthens. 7️⃣ Integration: Finally, the changes become integrated into your routine, leading to a more stable and positive state.
I cut out sugar a long time ago, but i haven’t given up eating fruits yet. I hafta pull myself together and take up this new adventure😆Procrastination is a real ENEMY 😮 you’re absolutely right! One should watch this video again and follow the guidelines you mentioned today for which we are thankful btw . Thank you Katharine for this motivation video and for suggesting the Happy news hub website 👍🙏 Happy new year dear teacher 🎉
Happy New Year Katharine! Thank you for this sparkling lesson that makes me say we have a lot in common regarding learning or teaching English. Motivation and organization are crucial to navigate along this never ending journey.

I watched this on 1st of October 2024 in my office before work. I felt like you filled me much of positive vibes to start my new month today. Thank you for the positivity Kath! Love
Hi Katharine , Happy New Year 🎉, Lucky to hear your remind us to set goal, tips how to fight the lazy bad mood,the method to improve english. Thank you your kind to all the world 💖😊
The biggest heat wave our country has ever seen was finally broken by rain(Here in my city, at least) on the first day of this year! So for us here, the year started off very well! Happy New Year and may we do something for our planet this year!
happy new year kath thank you for this amazing video lesson it means the world to me, I personally love your sensitivity it is so genuine. Recently I have been feeling unproductive after I watched your lesson I felt better. I am not gonna lie this motivational video made me cry considering I needed to hear someone to tell me do not give up I appreciate your concern you are such an adorable person🥺
As for me, I took again the same resolution as the last ten past years: stop smoking ... 😂 Joke aside, I don't take any resolution anymore... However there are two I was successful with in the past. One was to improve my English and become advanced if not fluent. I immersed myself into the language since a few years and practise my English every single day since then. The other I took up around 6 years ago was to become a veggie and I achieved to get there successfully. This is probably the greatest and most satisfying thing I've achieved, thus resolving a paradox and a contradiction which, while I admire the miracle of Life and love animals very much, has always affected me more from an ethical point of view than from a health point of view by the way. I don't miss meat anymore at all and today I've learnt to appreciate the delights without death or suffering and I have never felt better physically or mentally even if the fact of knowing that we genocide 100 to 150 billions (!!!) of animal each year (Yes, you read well, this is not a typo!) prevents me from being fully happy. You have to know that we have killed more than 60% of all the wild animal populations (all zoologic taxons confounded) in the word over the last 40 years. Today more than 90% of the total mammal biomass on earth is constituted of Livestock ! Man represents a very tiny percentage of the terrestrial biomass, but is responsible of more than 80% of the deaths/dead ... All we talk about is global warming, which is indeed a crucial issue, but in my opinion it obscures 2 other issues that are just as major, if not more so: the decline in life on earth, the increasing scarcity of wildlife habitats, and the many forms of pollution. Many points of no return have already been crossed (notably for the climate, but not only...) and according to the UN, we are now under threat of a direct existential crisis. Therefore my resolution is now steady. Make effort for environnement and sustainable life on earth. I will pursue my almost 'zero buying' politics regading food notably that I achieve to get by many ways and that you wouldn't believe and I eat better than I ever ate. the thing is that, and especially in our western countries (but not only), we waste around 20% of all the food that is produced in the world. Yes you read well, this is just unfathomable ! This represents, hang yourself well, 40-tonne lorries end to end, circumnavigating the earth 6 times !!!! And this PER YEAR (!!!)... I was struck down and just horrified when I found out that inimaginable fact. A child still dies of thirst or hunger each 6 seconds in the world today in the 21st century ! ... You just wouldn't believe what I find, along with some vegan friends, in the skips outside a local food rescue centre near here! Perfectly healthy food products discarded on the best-before date, or even a few days before the best-before date, and covering all types of food (plant/vegetables and animal products from starter to dessert through all the possible and imaginable extras (biscuits, chocolates, yogurts of all kinds, and basically all that you can find at a shopping center and even beer can sometimes! would you believe it? ...It just goes on and on and I spare you the doozies) Unimaginable! It is a bit constaining and burdensome, you have to move twice a week and have discipline and hygiene to select the products rigorously, clean these products perfectly good and healthy but still were deposited in bins and even if they are generally clean (packaging). I won't tell you my food budget over the last year, you just wouldn't believe it. I mainly bought coffee, sugar and vegetable oil which I find only occasionnaly. I find way more than i need and so I give and share a lot. In addition, I cook with pyrolysis stoves and ovens that I have devised and made, perfectly ecological, which cost absolutely nothing except harvesting small wood and which allowed me to substantially reduce my energy bill. Sobriety too regarding my personnal ecological impact and my carbon footprint, no more car but walk, bike, train or public transports. I maintain, I keep, recover and repair to the maximum and I buy things only when this is a necessity I can't avoid. I am impeeasible to harmful and deadly advertising and am not the type to replace a mobile phone, a laptop or a computer every two or three years under the pretext of the release of a new gadget perfectly useless... In short, I listen to Aurélien Barrau (!), Jean-Marc Jancovici or Arthur keller and I am very concerned and more and more since a few years on the ecological plan having realized the absolute necessity of an ontological and axiological change that must occur urgently and imperatively in our societies and in the whole world. The solution won't be technological for had we a clean way of producing energy (I think of the fusion for ex.), this wouldn't prevent us to destroy the environment and the forests and life... with 'clean energy' ... The solution can only be AXIOLOGICAL meaning relative to our system of values !! I think that ecology should even transcend all politics because it is the sine qua non of our long-term survival even if I think we are going anyway, and given human nature, right into the wall and towards catastrophe. Man has not only dominated and mastered his environment, today they destroy it exponentially. And in fact and fundamentally, this enterprise of destruction had long begun and has always been since the diaspora of homo erectus gone to the conquest of the world. Things are dramatically amplified only from the industrial revolution (~1850) and the era of machines and fossil fuels (we thought were illimited...) that 'liberated' us and led to this world of over... of hyperconsumption with its corollary of accelerated destruction of the world. Man thinks he is a demiurge by believing he is above the environment and the living ... this is also one of the reasons why, I do not really like these terms of 'environment' or 'ecology' notably that in some way mark a kind of detachment, of an illusory and fictitious separation between humans and the rest of nature and the Living. They simply forget that without this nature and commensalism and harmony with it, they are just nothing. We produce an astronomical amount of waste and, bringing Mother Nature’s potential to one year, we have already consumed as early as the month of June or May all that Nature is capable of re-generating in one year and this border is reduced every year and is obviously not viable in the very long term yet ... The solution goes necessarily throughout a individal awareness and an (economical) decrease and a voluntary sobriety. That goes against politicians who can only advocate a deadly and eternal and infinite growth in a world of resources which they, are well and truly finite. They are not in the same temporality as the ecological measures that must be considered over a longer time than the derisory time of their mandate, their success, their wealth and their re-election... which are for the great majority of them their sole preoccupation. And this is obviously extremely problematic ... Another growth is possible and must occur and shall becometh: That of knowledge, that of love, that of sobriety, that of retrieved commensalism with Nature, that of a return to the more local production, that of sharing ... Apart from that, wonderful lesson that I enjoyed a lot, Katherine, and so interesting on the language level as always. Thank you so much ! Hugs and bisous to you 🌹❤❤😘 Fab, your number one fan and lover.
❤. My friend I fully agree on those things you are describing.. BUT.. you may do something more: to persuade as many as you can in the social cycle you live. . And broading the cycle.. you eventually get to succeed the really good target you are aiming. Knowing that you are not alone continue the efforts.. Greetings and respect from Greece!. As far as the wonderful teacher Katerina concerns, she is contributing your efforts by opening the ways of communication with so many people you cannot imagine. SHE deserves a big " THANK YOU"..
@@thanasismakris6348 Thank you so much tanassismakris and for your encouragement! yes I do agree, we must try to persuade as many people as possible that a change of paradigm is urgent and necessary. I advise you to follow Aurélien Barrau (!) whose very important conferences I try to share to the maximum. What he says currently with such an incredible force and eloquence is quintessential and the discourse everybody in the world should really listen to ! For Katherine, yes I'm with you on this 🙂 Thank you again for you kind message. I appreciate that so much, merci ! ;-) ❤🌏🌎
I loved that suggestion of yours about listening to the radio, actually I'm a fan of Smooth Radio 102.2 FM, I do listen to it quite often. Have you listened to it? If you haven't, give it a try..
You are so vocal and clear in your expressions and thoughts that help your viewers to fallow and understand what you say....Baby steps 🪜 leads to great achievements indeed. Moreover, you keep attention of audience intact as you glitter like a jewel, 💕 have a wonderful year! Best wishes 🤞
This video is a kickoff event to begin 2024 for sure dear Kath -- replete with motivational quotes, some really good advice on learning English and above all your graceful mien . The other day I came across a piece of motivational literature somewhere that'd be my resolution for this year .It goes like this :-' I have reached that stage of my life when I prefer to stay away from arguments ,especially the unnecessary ones. If you say 1+1=5 ,it's alright ,enjoy yourself 😊.' Thank you dear ❤.
Watching your vidieos makes me feel cosy, want to see more and be able to remember things naturally instead of pushing myself. Really like you and admire you. I'm lucky to find you on UA-cam.
Excilent way to achieve the goal, 100/. Motivation to learn to speek English As a teacher you did your job . And Now the job of students to obey you . And go throu the way you told to reach the hole. Happy new year Lethe the Respected Teacher (Guru ji).👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to you & your’s dears
Hi Katharine from Lebanon. Thank you so much for this video its really helpful. I just wrote down my english goal for this year the way you've just described in the video and i am starting right now not tomorrow😊. (My goal is to be more confident in speaking so im gonna practice everyday for 1 hour choosing different topics and speak to myself by recording audiobor taking videos )
Dear Katharine, I wish You a very good NEW YEAR and thanks for your good mood to every time. I like you and your kind of teaching. Procrastianation is always my bad habit and i am always afraid not to manage something right even though I have time as a pensioner. But day by day go over, without i really will become better. I can't understand english shows or films.
Dear Katharine, I am sure that I have found excellent teacher among of thousands in the Ocean of Internet. Many thanks especially for this lesson!!❤❤❤❤❤
My wife and I have the goal to up our English level to speak more fluently with our two daughters in law. Aldo we like traveling. In my case, my main issue is in listening and understanding in accurate mode, more than speaking. Our deadline is in August, although it is difficult to measure the improvement. We contract some sets of 10 lessons’ hours every two or three months with an English teacher from Liverpool. We combine it with your videos and other ones. I have an inclination to procrastination. I will try your system to fight against it, just in few minuts. Thanks for your videos.
Good evening Katharine and happy new year. I have to tell that my most difficult to learn English are the phrasal verbs, someone I be able to get them meaning, but many of them I don't be able to get, for me they are very difficult to understand and to keep up them in my mind. Thank you so much for your useful advices. I see you soon.
I wrote my goals in a paper then I put it in the wall. Now I'm not going to forget. Every day I do something related with english during one hour. Watch a serie, reading, etc.
Hi Katharine 🙏 , we Indians are multilingual by nature. Most of us know more than one or two languages. Of course, for us, English is the language that matters! May I ask you Katharine , which language fascinates you other than your mother tongue? 😊
Oh my god you back ☺ you looking gourgeos , what a lovely outfit dats ma favourite, I wish to have besides being male, I will try to find shirt or jumper with multicolours, always ma fav multicolours, happy to see you wearing ma favourite colours , your lesson is also well informative, thnx kat

Hello Katharine.Wish you a very very happy new year.Your video is of course very motivational.Your advice to practice daily to speak English is very good.Actually practice makes a perfect man.Thanks a lot for this nice video ❤❤
Wish you a happy new year Katherine ❤🎉 Thank you very much for motivating me ❤ I love your energy and enthusiasm throughout the video ❤ P.S. I will be going to university next month and it will be a new page in my life. This video is very useful for me. (Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤)
Hello, hello, is very nice, to see you, hopefully you rested well, what are your resolutions for the year that just started? I Will go to Mexico, after 6 years, and before that, 17 years…practically a foreigner over there, and the worst, without my wife…..thank you again for your new video..greetings from a Mexican person living in Japan..gracias y hasta luego…’ta..taaa.ta.!
Happy New Year Dear. Your new year tips to learn English are fascinating. I would like to cut salt from my diet in coming year and want to move on advance level. Thanks for beautiful quotes.
Hi Katharine!!! Jane Austen's one quote says: "Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter" Well Jane, I'm trying to do it but I'm afraid it's not working for me. I reckon I'll never manage it.............. Wait. Wait. Wait. Don't so rush! What about this? Take my heart. Pick it up when you want to. Simply It's only yours. Ok. Ok Jane. I know, that's not a letter, solely a few words. But, am I in the right way? What do you think?. See you later. Well. Well. Back to you, Kath. I really, really relish watching your videos. What might I say that not have been said? You are working fantastically well. KEEP GOING!!! The quote that most touched me was: "If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I can achieve it!!" (Muhammad Ali) From Argentina, Alejandro.
I really like and enjoy watching your vids, not only to improve my English, but also because you are gorgeous and adorable! You really light up my day! Have a great 2024 Kat!
Happy new year from Tokyo. Actually I've just returned from London. I visited my friend's and stayed 1week over the year-end. Unfortunately we gave up the fireworks at the Themes as it was outrageously crowded. It was rather warm christmas ,wasn't it.
Hi Katherine, it is the first time to pass by and discover your awesome channel on UA-cam, you are amazing and such a diamond. My greetings to you from Malaysia.
Hi Katharine❤I am an English teacher and your videos REALLY help me improve my accent, can u do me a favour and spot more light onto the illusive “y” that you talked about before, it really helps me catch this difference between my accent and native’s but I still need more explanation… thanks in advance 🙏
Dear Katharine, thank you so much for this video! Truly inspiring! May I ask you something? If I can easily understand your videos ( let's say 98% of what you say) which English level do you think am I? One more thing..Do you have suggestions for teaching English naturally to our children? I mean..without looking too much pushy...I mean..I know I could use routine phrases or something like that but sometimes my daughter is tired and she gets upset if I insist on speaking in English. What can I do to improve her English understanding in a very relaxing and natural way? Thanks for your reply.

Believe me, Kat, you are a special woman, the one is difficult to meet in someone's life!
Wow, you must have read my mind. You modern psychology is amazing, especially in how you put it into practice. You know a lot for a young woman.

Best wishes for the year ahead Kat , a brand new start .
and thank you for pouring us some positivity !
I definitely recommend you Yoga , for
staying calm and take it easy when things

I usually follow your videos on my laptop ,
but as I travel a lot by train, and as a dissipated traveller,
looking for elegant, gentleman-like and comfortable ways to travel ,

so a good intention / resolution in 2024 will be - English with Kat " On the go " .

However there are two I was successful with in the past. One was to improve my English and become advanced if not fluent. I immersed myself into the language since a few years and practise my English every single day since then.

This is probably the greatest and most satisfying thing I've achieved, thus resolving a paradox and a contradiction which, while I admire the miracle of Life and love animals very much, has always affected me more from an ethical point of view than from a health point of view by the way. I don't miss meat anymore at all and today I've learnt to appreciate the delights without death or suffering and I have never felt better physically or mentally even if the fact of knowing that we genocide 100 to 150 billions (!!!) of animal each year (Yes, you read well, this is not a typo!) prevents me from being fully happy. You have to know that we have killed more than 60% of all the wild animal populations (all zoologic taxons confounded) in the word over the last 40 years. Today more than 90% of the total mammal biomass on earth is constituted of Livestock ! Man represents a very tiny percentage of the terrestrial biomass, but is responsible of more than 80% of the deaths/dead ... All we talk about is global warming, which is indeed a crucial issue, but in my opinion it obscures 2 other issues that are just as major, if not more so: the decline in life on earth, the increasing scarcity of wildlife habitats, and the many forms of pollution. Many points of no return have already been crossed (notably for the climate, but not only...) and according to the UN, we are now under threat of a direct existential crisis.
Therefore my resolution is now steady. Make effort for environnement and sustainable life on earth. I will pursue my almost 'zero buying' politics regading food notably that I achieve to get by many ways and that you wouldn't believe and I eat better than I ever ate. the thing is that, and especially in our western countries (but not only), we waste around 20% of all the food that is produced in the world. Yes you read well, this is just unfathomable ! This represents, hang yourself well, 40-tonne lorries end to end, circumnavigating the earth 6 times !!!! And this PER YEAR (!!!)... I was struck down and just horrified when I found out that inimaginable fact. A child still dies of thirst or hunger each 6 seconds in the world today in the 21st century ! ...
You just wouldn't believe what I find, along with some vegan friends, in the skips outside a local food rescue centre near here! Perfectly healthy food products discarded on the best-before date, or even a few days before the best-before date, and covering all types of food (plant/vegetables and animal products from starter to dessert through all the possible and imaginable extras (biscuits, chocolates, yogurts of all kinds, and basically all that you can find at a shopping center and even beer can sometimes! would you believe it? ...It just goes on and on and I spare you the doozies) Unimaginable! It is a bit constaining and burdensome, you have to move twice a week and have discipline and hygiene to select the products rigorously, clean these products perfectly good and healthy but still were deposited in bins and even if they are generally clean (packaging). I won't tell you my food budget over the last year, you just wouldn't believe it. I mainly bought coffee, sugar and vegetable oil which I find only occasionnaly. I find way more than i need and so I give and share a lot.
In addition, I cook with pyrolysis stoves and ovens that I have devised and made, perfectly ecological, which cost absolutely nothing except harvesting small wood and which allowed me to substantially reduce my energy bill.
Sobriety too regarding my personnal ecological impact and my carbon footprint, no more car but walk, bike, train or public transports. I maintain, I keep, recover and repair to the maximum and I buy things only when this is a necessity I can't avoid. I am impeeasible to harmful and deadly advertising and am not the type to replace a mobile phone, a laptop or a computer every two or three years under the pretext of the release of a new gadget perfectly useless...
In short, I listen to Aurélien Barrau (!), Jean-Marc Jancovici or Arthur keller and I am very concerned and more and more since a few years on the ecological plan having realized the absolute necessity of an ontological and axiological change that must occur urgently and imperatively in our societies and in the whole world. The solution won't be technological for had we a clean way of producing energy (I think of the fusion for ex.), this wouldn't prevent us to destroy the environment and the forests and life... with 'clean energy' ... The solution can only be AXIOLOGICAL meaning relative to our system of values !! I think that ecology should even transcend all politics because it is the sine qua non of our long-term survival even if I think we are going anyway, and given human nature, right into the wall and towards catastrophe. Man has not only dominated and mastered his environment, today they destroy it exponentially. And in fact and fundamentally, this enterprise of destruction had long begun and has always been since the diaspora of homo erectus gone to the conquest of the world. Things are dramatically amplified only from the industrial revolution (~1850) and the era of machines and fossil fuels (we thought were illimited...) that 'liberated' us and led to this world of over... of hyperconsumption with its corollary of accelerated destruction of the world. Man thinks he is a demiurge by believing he is above the environment and the living ... this is also one of the reasons why, I do not really like these terms of 'environment' or 'ecology' notably that in some way mark a kind of detachment, of an illusory and fictitious separation between humans and the rest of nature and the Living. They simply forget that without this nature and commensalism and harmony with it, they are just nothing. We produce an astronomical amount of waste and, bringing Mother Nature’s potential to one year, we have already consumed as early as the month of June or May all that Nature is capable of re-generating in one year and this border is reduced every year and is obviously not viable in the very long term yet ... The solution goes necessarily throughout a individal awareness and an (economical) decrease and a voluntary sobriety. That goes against politicians who can only advocate a deadly and eternal and infinite growth in a world of resources which they, are well and truly finite. They are not in the same temporality as the ecological measures that must be considered over a longer time than the derisory time of their mandate, their success, their wealth and their re-election... which are for the great majority of them their sole preoccupation. And this is obviously extremely problematic ... Another growth is possible and must occur and shall becometh: That of knowledge, that of love, that of sobriety, that of retrieved commensalism with Nature, that of a return to the more local production, that of sharing ...
Apart from that, wonderful lesson that I enjoyed a lot, Katherine, and so interesting on the language level as always.
Thank you so much ! Hugs and bisous to you 🌹❤❤😘
Fab, your number one fan and lover.
❤. My friend I fully agree on those things you are describing.. BUT.. you may do something more: to persuade as many as you can in the social cycle you live. . And broading the cycle.. you eventually get to succeed the really good target you are aiming. Knowing that you are not alone continue the efforts..
Greetings and respect from Greece!.
As far as the wonderful teacher Katerina concerns, she is contributing your efforts by opening the ways of communication with so many people you cannot imagine. SHE deserves a big " THANK YOU"..
@@thanasismakris6348
Thank you so much tanassismakris and for your encouragement!
yes I do agree, we must try to persuade as many people as possible that a change of paradigm is urgent and necessary. I advise you to follow Aurélien Barrau (!) whose very important conferences I try to share to the maximum. What he says currently with such an incredible force and eloquence is quintessential and the discourse everybody in the world should really listen to !
For Katherine, yes I'm with you on this 🙂
Thank you again for you kind message. I appreciate that so much, merci ! ;-)
❤🌏🌎
I loved that suggestion of yours about listening to the radio, actually I'm a fan of Smooth Radio 102.2 FM, I do listen to it quite often. Have you listened to it? If you haven't, give it a try..
thank you too, my lovely English teacher Katharine! Certainly I want to perfect my English languge,this is my goal today!
Thank you
It is a powerful lesson in the beginning of the year! Teacher Katharine thank you so much indeed and Happy New Year!

2:32 ' Yoga ' is very Indian thing! 👌Good to know that you know this! 👏 😊

This video is a kickoff event to begin 2024 for sure dear Kath -- replete with motivational quotes, some really good advice on learning English and above all your graceful mien .
The other day I came across a piece of motivational literature somewhere that'd be my resolution for this year .It goes like this :-' I have reached that stage of my life when I prefer to stay away from arguments ,especially the unnecessary ones. If you say 1+1=5 ,it's alright ,enjoy yourself 😊.'
Thank you dear ❤.
Love that advice 😊😊😊😊

Thanks for the motivation. I needed it.

Dear Katharine, I wish You a very good NEW YEAR and thanks for your good mood to every time. I like you and your kind of teaching.
Procrastianation is always my bad habit and i am always afraid not to manage something right even though I have time as a pensioner. But day by day go over, without i really will become better. I can't understand english shows or films.
You’ll achieve it this year ✨✨🌟🌟🌟

My wife and I have the goal to up our English level to speak more fluently with our two daughters in law. Aldo we like traveling. In my case, my main issue is in listening and understanding in accurate mode, more than speaking.
Our deadline is in August, although it is difficult to measure the improvement. We contract some sets of 10 lessons’ hours every two or three months with an English teacher from Liverpool. We combine it with your videos and other ones.
I have an inclination to procrastination. I will try your system to fight against it, just in few minuts.
Thanks for your videos.
You can do it!! 🌟🌟✨✨✨✨
I like the last quote “ I never loss, either I win or I learn”;)

Good evening Katharine and happy new year. I have to tell that my most difficult to learn English are the phrasal verbs, someone I be able to get them meaning, but many of them I don't be able to get, for me they are very difficult to understand and to keep up them in my mind. Thank you so much for your useful advices. I see you soon.
😊☺️
Thank you, dear Katharine.
This is absolutely amaizing lesson.
Full of positive vibes, energy and motivation for the whole year ❤
I wrote my goals in a paper then I put it in the wall. Now I'm not going to forget. Every day I do something related with english during one hour. Watch a serie, reading, etc.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Katharine. I've been listen to the BBC Radio and it's been a great boost for my listening and vocabulary! It's a great reccomendation 😁
Hi Katharine 🙏 , we Indians are multilingual by nature. Most of us know more than one or two languages. Of course, for us, English is the language that matters! May I ask you Katharine , which language fascinates you other than your mother tongue? 😊

Hi Katharine!!!
Jane Austen's one quote says: "Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter"
Well Jane, I'm trying to do it but I'm afraid it's not working for me. I reckon I'll never manage it.............. Wait. Wait. Wait. Don't so rush! What about this?
Take my heart. Pick it up when you want to. Simply It's only yours.
Ok. Ok Jane. I know, that's not a letter, solely a few words. But, am I in the right way? What do you think?. See you later.
Well. Well. Back to you, Kath. I really, really relish watching your videos. What might I say that not have been said? You are working fantastically well. KEEP GOING!!!
The quote that most touched me was:
"If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I can achieve it!!" (Muhammad Ali)

Happy new year from Tokyo. Actually I've just returned from London. I visited my friend's and stayed 1week over the year-end. Unfortunately we gave up the fireworks at the Themes as it was outrageously crowded. It was rather warm christmas ,wasn't it.

Hi Katharine, Happy new year!
Thanks for your hard working.
Your videos are my go-to.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Dear Katharine, thank you so much for this video! Truly inspiring! May I ask you something? If I can easily understand your videos ( let's say 98% of what you say) which English level do you think am I? One more thing..Do you have suggestions for teaching English naturally to our children? I mean..without looking too much pushy...I mean..I know I could use routine phrases or something like that but sometimes my daughter is tired and she gets upset if I insist on speaking in English. What can I do to improve her English understanding in a very relaxing and natural way? Thanks for your reply.
Video about this soon 😊
Hi miss, can you upload 2 videos per week, It's so glad when I watch your lessons. Much love from Vietnam. By the way, happy new year miss and friends
