such a brilliant idea to turn the adds into educational materials ! The first time that ads are not boring any more! well done.
Great Teacher
Great teacher ever. Tanmmirt a bunch.
I really like listening to English Accents. I love this channel. My wife and I have travelled several times to the Yorkshire area and from Edinburgh Scotland through the Caringorms and the Highlands. The differences in the English are amazing. Watching these videos, I am struck by the many differences between various English dialects to my Southern American (Mississippi) accent. However, there are also many similarities (particularly the Yorkshire accent) where the pronunciation is almost identical. Awesome videos.
I’m really glad i found you, actually i’m not beginner i just wanted to imprive my english speaking and ofcourse a to correct a lot of mistakes that i have, i have tried many videos and teachers on youtube, read a lot of books, but you are the only one that is giving me what i was searching for, i’m comfort with you, i can learn quickly and withiut getting bored, and the british accent is the way to master English, you are the best, thank you very much, i will try to watch all your vidoes even if i mastered English in the future, i will always need to learn something new, thank you from my bottom of heart ❤️🙏🏻
Many thanks Anna!

My dearest youtube English Professor! I definitely will apply this lesson. Thank you!
Thanks gorgeous teacher !! 😘😍
Finally someone who teaches British english. I'm glad to have found your channel, I'm quite fed up with so much american accent. Greetings from Brazil.
There are other channels that teach English English, it's not like they're hand to find or anything.
What are you talking about? There are many channels that teach British English. I can think of 10 right now but I let you do your own research.
I really loved her accent and how her voice is clear 🥰 , bless her
Good lesson. Another common grammar mistake that is frequently made is the use of 'their' in place of 'they're'. Another one is 'could of' in place of 'could have'. These common mistakes really get under my skin.
Those mistakes are more often than not made by native speakers of English. People who have studied it as a second language are less likely to make them.
@@ginismoja2459 That's true, but what I have seen a lot of Americans confuse now is 'then' and 'than', particularly younger generations. Alarmingly, it's not just a written mistake, they are actually saying it as well.
I looove your accent, dear! Take care, and thanks for your amazing work. ❤
Thanks you make me better
This lesson is really helpful!! I usually use what instead of that but now I'll not make this mistake👍
Thanks
I'm Dutch, over here English is mandatory from an early age on until the time you finish your education, regardless of what specific education(level) you follow.
There's one thing that always annoys me: American English.
I always had to learn 'British English' basically RP and when later on in life I worked in international settings I encountered Americans who reckoned they should 'correct' my English.
My biggest gripe is 'I could care less'.
It's I couldn't care less.
Otherwise the expression does not make sense, but not a single American involved in that argument saw it that way.
What if you cared a little ?.. therefore “ you could care less “
@@pensatoreseneca technically, you'd be correct but it simply isn't an expression like 'I couldn't care less' is.
It is advisable to bother about the negative comments uttered by some bullying people as long as you move on the right lane .
@@rogerselwanis8333 try it again, but this time in English?
@@lebell79 I addressed my post to the video provider video provided that is why I cannot accept your impolite and bullying comment.
A beautiful lesson like you
Awesome lesson 🥀😊🙏
Thank you Anna for you super videos
Thank beautiful teacher
Thanks ji
Anna is awesome!!! I have never ever made a mistake since I’ve listened to her.
(Now, she’ll correct this). :D
Please watch and correct here sir..
ua-cam.com/video/0_9OkAMUy-Q/v-deo.html
I fully agree! She's fine-tuning my English like a music teacher might fine-tune your technique on your instrument. I've heard the rest, I'll stick with the best!
Thank you Anna for your explanation. I hesitate often when I need to choose between this, that, these, those.
What I seem to know!
This and that are singular. Which one is right : I can go on this way or you can take that way?
These and those are plural. Those people are crazy to run in costume or these people are strange to run in costume?
Thanks again and carry on, you are good.
Your English is as fabulous as your beauty . Thanks for helping in grammar 🙏🙏🙏
Great
your method of teaching is really wonderful. i would request you to add sentences also when u are discussing idioms. it would make easy for us to understand idioms in a better way
I'm blessed to find your channel. Kudos and greetings from India

Nice class my teacher
You teach a lot of grammar recently.
You teach it really well. A variety of things will enrich your channel.
I have made the mistake of not finding you before, now I promise to watch your videos as soon as you edit them.
At the No.5, you mentioned about the positioning of punctuation. I couldn't understand this part. This part was difficult so that I couldn't understand what you wanted to teach me.
On the other hand, I could understand what you said at the another parts. Thank you, Anna.
hey all of your english videos are very helpful for me....bye bye from germany
Hi Anna,
to learn her and his in agreement with the related subject, I've used this example "her baby, his gun"🙂🤗

Your facial expressions are marvellous.
You are literally gorgeous! and I am addicted to your voice.♥
I have to say that if you haven't said that you were born in '81, I would totally believe you when you said you're 21 years old. Btw, great video. Those mistakes are really common. Thanks for sharing!
Hi dear teacher ,
What a great lesson! You make a long story short .
All those topic are essential especially punctuation that might also affect the meaning.
I 'd like to share this e.g :
A woman , without her man is nothing .
Or: A woman without her , man is nothing.
You make a good point. Just be mindful of the punctuation at the end (no space between the proceeding word and the comma) :)
I love you ! 😸💕💕💕
I am 15 years young. Positive, isn’t it?
Great video Anna! 👏🏼💚💚💚💜❤️💚💚💚
Are you boy or girl
A girl, why?
@@marishasveganworld2240 do you speak english well?
AUTHMAN _AL_SAADI yes, it has nothing to do with English! 😂 people say that, to feel young instead of old, that’s it.
Sorry if it caused confusion though... 😐
@@marishasveganworld2240 no
But I wanna help me to learn English langauge
I am a new subscriber to the channel, and I am from Iraq.
Anna is always impressive and I am really fascinated by your beauty
Can you make a video about phrasal verbs, for example, i don't know when to say break up, break-in, break out or just break. Why i have to say help me out and not just help me. What is the difference? Thanks a lot Anna!!
DearAnna,
Can you make a detailed video on pronouncing the letter R in standard Brutish English! Many thanks
hi anna! i'm stephie! i'm new to your channel. but, i'm one of your viewers a long time ago
ENGLISH LIKE A NATIVE🌹
Red and black.. most beautiful color combination
Make a lesson on a passive voice please Thanks
Perfect lesson and so sweet... INTERUPTION??
Hello!
You have told in the video we are always welcome to ask about all of our problems.That is why I am sharing one of my problems with you. That is, we know that we should use present form after using to . But I have found that present form plus ing is being is used .In today's lesson you have also used it. I suppose I don't the rule of that. It is good to say that I didn't mean with a view to ,look forward to or get used to. Rather I meant for instance we moved to teaching at distance.
I desperately need another video focusing on how to secure well understanding to the punctuations.
Thank you...I am from india
And I also have lots of doubts with regard to subject verb agreement. It is an area that I miserably struggle. For many years I have been trying but I have always failed. So I really need your assistance Anna. As a guy from India it would be very great to seek your help especially from a native speaker.
I am a native speaker but after having lived abroad in N.America, and spent time in Sheffield and Doncaster, my RP has been slightly damaged. To the American or Canadian ear I sound "extremely British", but when I am out with my mates in London; I have been told that I have a mixed or somewhat of a regional accent, and have even been told at times that I sound a bit like an Aussie. I believe my intonation pattern and rhythm is a bit off, and even notice it when I read a news article out loud but cannot exactly pinpoint the problem. I think I might be confusing rising, falling, and circumflex intonations. What would you recommend in order to correct these issues?
Watching you from Iraq. Hope you have healthy life and save from Coronavirus. .....be safe 😉
Your content is fantastic. And I have to write it; you are extremely pretty!
You are looking gorgeous 😍.I love the way you pronounce ❤️
Hello Anna, I like your explanation about punctuation. It is extremely helpful! Have I used it correctly in this post?
Punctuation marks are sometimes called symbols or character.
Perfect 👌🏻
In French, punctuation with 2 elements like colon, semi-colon, exclamation mark, question mark, quote marks, etc. are not attached to the word before. It has seemed weird until I heard your explanation.
hello, Anna, usefull lesson as usual, love u, thanks for ur time
ps:u do look 21😘
THAT can be used when the sentence is ajdective clause. Is it true?
I personally struggling "just" with say and tell. Otherwise I always mispronounced bought (I say "both"), sometimes I add too many "the" and I'm not sure when some verbs in the past tense are irregular, stay the same or are just need -ed.
8:18 The British way is standard in the USA.
10:27 I was a UA-camr (Iskall85 (he's Swedish)) who always makes that error.
Agreed. American here, have never heard "five years and a half".
@@trishk.7876 yeah, we never say it like she says we do.
Anna u soo cute teaching way is so exciting
Hi Anna! Greetings from Peru. Been teaching English for years in my country. Perhaps you wanna highlight these common mistakes among Spanish learners. The people is ... , The news are ..., two advices, Are you agree?, I have hungry, etc.
Hello Anna ✌👏👏👏🙋
I would like to get in touch with you to help me with pronunciation of uncommon words. What should I do?
use google translate to say the word. It's pretty accurate
i like the way you acted out, egging someone. respected teacher 😂😂
What about its vs it’s? Would not vs wouldn’t?
I struggle a lot when I try to communicate, even in my native language ... I lose focus too quickly :(
Hi there,
I am a bit confused when there is a singular subject and I don't know the gender, so I use the possessive adjective "their", for instance:
Every student has their own book.
Does it make sense? Or does it sound weird to a native?
Cheers :-)
That’s perfect. It is exactly what a native would say.
@@EnglishLikeANative Thank you!!
"Their" can be used in the singular when a person's gender isn't specified so it's perfectly acceptable to use in in singular in that context.
Yeah
FOR EXAMPLE?
i do make the same mistakes indeed! :)
I'm an Italian student, personally I've already corrected those mistakes, but I find some problems in other mistakes, like, I often get confused between too much and too many, countable and uncountable nouns...
Much/many is a super common mistake for native speakers to make too!

Are apost apostrophes punctuation marks?
Hello everyan,My neme is Adolfo I'm from Brazil, I'm learning English here.
I am struggling with articles, the use of which has too many exceptions. Recently I happened to have a question about this. Let's say, it's 10 p.m.
At this moment of the day, I feel very sleepy. (Do I need THE before Day?)
At this time of day, I feel very sleepy. (Do I need to add THE before DAY?)How would you say these two sentences? Or is there a better way of saying it?
Thank you for the lesson.
You could say "At this moment, I feel very sleepy." If you wanted to reference the day, you would say "At this moment in the day, I feel very sleepy."
But it's kind of an odd way to say it, so I would never actually define that it was a moment "in the day" because it's already clear that you are taking about right this second when you say "moment" (moment=second).
The other one is much more normal to say: "At this time of day, I feel very sleepy."
You don't have to say "the" because you are talking in general about day time. But, to make it more confusing, you could also say, "At this time of the day, I feel very sleepy," or "At this time in the day, I feel very sleepy".
I am a Canadian native English speaker so I hope that helps!
