    I speak English many years and it helped me to build my career abroad. But still I didn't try to pass my IELTS to be able to work in UK as a doctor. I love your pronunciation that's why I have chosen you among lots of others ! You are the best English teacher! Thank you and Best Regards, Dr. Nigora Mukhamedjanova from Uzbekistan.

    Dear Keith, again, many thanks, mainly because politeness is often a measure of tactness to show some level of indepenedence when talking to an arogant or big-headed person, an intelligent way to show him a mirror. Best regards. Paul, 66, retired teacher

    First off, your tips are tremendously useful. On top of that, you are an extremely polite teacher and at the same time perfectly spontaneous.
    Finally, I was hoping if you could make more videos about confidence, public speaking...🙏
    Have a nice day, Mr Keith 🦋.

    I am from Spain, and here we are polite when we ask for a beer. We always say "excuse me, can I have a beer?" and we never say "give me a beer!", just as the man of the video assures. That is not common in Spain...well, at least is not common from spanish people. It is common in Spain, usually in Mallorca, Málaga, Ibiza...when British people come here and ask for beer unpolitely when they are drunk 😉

    Dear Sir, Good Morning.
    Sub : VERB - the Gerund & the Infinitive (verbal noun)
    AND, the Participle (verbal adjective) .
    - - - - - - -
    We had already been taught by our seniors/ parents that the VERB is the most important among the eight parts of speech in English sentences.
    To focus our attention to the use the Gerund , the infinitive AND the Participle, we have collected more sentences, containing any one of the above three, for our perusal again and again.
    Besides listening to the invaluable informations in your videos, we do periodically revise the English grammar ( by P. C. Wren & Martin).
    Though the rate of speaking is increased, i. e., more number of words per Minute, your accent of English is easily understandable by us.
    We thank you and thank the God.

    What a jerk... You shouldn't judge spanish speakers if you don't get our language. "Dame una cerveza" is imperative, but not in the bad way. It is actually kind of a friendly way to ask for something.

    Spain Spanish sounds very impolite, unlike most of LATAM Spanish speaking countries. It also sounds like they're being rude and almost yelling/demanding when they ask for something. On the other hand, thanks for your super useful content and lessons. They're pure gold.
