    Hello Rachel! I am preparing my highschool lessons for tomorrow, and I decided to share your channel with my students. It is a very basic lesson I'm preparing, on pronunciation with the ABC Song. It's a public school and I have students who are still struggling with reading and writing, mixed with others who are already fluent in English. Everyone can benefit from your lessons, and if I were not a gentleman I would talk about how long ago I first watched one of your videos. Well, thank you for the great job and I hope we'll still having more and more generations of English speakers who owe you a lot in the long future.

    I also like 'duck down'. I remember it from an Eminem song. I guess it means to crouch or squat and be quiet, stay unnoticed/unspotted
    "I'm ducked the f' down while I'm writing this rhyme
    'Cause I'm probably gonna get struck with lightning this time"

    • @qwertyTRiG
      @qwertyTRiG 3 місяці тому

      "How do you get down off an elephant?"
      "You don't. You get down off a duck."
      "Duck down" is a phrasal verb (though it basically means the same as just "duck"), but is also a noun (with "down" as the head noun) meaning a duck's soft underfeathers, used for stuffing bedding. The eider duck has particularly soft underfeathers, to the extent that "eiderdown" is sometimes used to mean "bedding".

  • @stevenjackson5106
    @stevenjackson5106 3 місяці тому +1

    This lesson is amazing, thank you very much. But my question is different. While you are verbally explaining the phrasal verb you said: "to decide not to do something because you are afraid". But you write: "to not do something because you are afraid". Can it be " not to do something because you are afraid"? Using "to" before "not" or after "not" makes me think it over. Or is it British vs American? Thank you! 😊

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  3 місяці тому +1

      Both versions are correct here. In verb definitions, we often say "to" to begin. If I'm using "decide" after it, I can say "to decide not to do something because...", or I can shorten that definition to "to not do something because...."As for beginning with "not", it would be okay to say this, but it wouldn't follow our standard form for definitions, which we recognize best for verbs as beginning with "to".

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  Місяць тому +1

      Hi @Malvitima0! The best thing you can do is begin speaking English out loud as much as you can. You can record yourself speaking freely about a topic. If there is a point where you don't know what to say in English, switch to your native language and say what you want to say, then switch back to English. When you're done, watch your recording and take note of the sections that you said in your own language - look them up in English and practice them! Do this everyday! Also, make sure to speak with anyone you can - don't be afraid to make mistakes - that is how you get better and build confidence!! Good luck! :)

Sumin (Sera's cousin)'s mother, feeling even more envious, as her child is still in the process of securing admission to a prestigious university, decided to beef up the tuition fees and push Sumin more, stimulated by Sera's mom's FAWNING OVER, which she found distasteful.
