A good teacher is like a candle, it cousumes it self to light the way for others. I'm grateful that I'm your student. Love you Teacher Alex. 💌
Hello, Alex!
I used to be with my family and friends every day. But I'm getting used to living alone in new country for two weeks already. It's hard for me but I'll be used to.
I'm getting used to playing setar.
"Be used to" & "get used to" are new structures to me. Thanks!
I will get used to watching Alex's videos to learn English efficiently because it is proven that he is the best teacher on internet!
I'm getting used to living more and more like a minimalist and closer to Nature. More than a decade ago I left the race for the American dream of owning more and more, I started abandoning the consumerist habits of everyday life and worrying more about my physical and mental health, as well as our animal and plant relatives.
I've improved a lot, but I can still go further! ; )
Thanks so much for this really useful lesson! Much appreciated!
I'm getting used to english speech by watching videos of english teachers every day
Hi Alex, I'm Diego from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through the last six and a half years, I've got used to homeworking, it is a whole new experience (with its pros and cons). Thank you very much indeed for today's lesson!

Hello Alex, is very interesting and important the use of “ used to “ the first phrase I learned by myself was “ I can get used to “ and I never translated what it really means until listening frequently I realized what was it. So thanks and congratulations for your book. Nos miramos.

It is my first video I watched your UA-cam, really I aprociated your detailed explanation. Thank you very much for your assisting the community. I will join with your team and videos.
Welcome! I hope you find a lot of useful materials.
Could you explain the exercise:
I’m ____
“not used to working 50 hours per week” It’s correct instead of “not used to work 50 hours per week.”
Could you explain that in a lesson ? The combined use of “ing” with “use to”
Thanks Alex for this wonderful lesson; it's given me a really good opportunity to learn and master how to use those 'phrases' .

Hello Alex! It´s nice to meet you here on UA-cam. My name is Alfredo, and I teach English at the university of my city, Santa Clara, in the very center of Cuba, my country and where I live. Thank you for being there. How can I get your book?
Hi Alfredo, thanks for your message! You can get the PDF of my book from my website (www.englishalex.com/product-page/300-practical-english-words-and-phrases), or use Amazon to get a physical copy.
I hope this helps! Thanks for your support. :)
Alex, is it Past or The Past? Thank you :-)
I am getting used to living in Canada. Since I used to live another country, and I was used to living in it.
Hello dear Alex, why we can't use in our conversation just Past Simple (For instance, I lived in San Diego, instead of I used to live in San Diego)? What is the difference between these two sentences?
Hey, Nice video. I am getting to speak English
Keep it up!
