Hello, We are really appreciative for what you are
doing here.
as you know nowadays most people apply for studying
abroad. so, I would like to ask you talk about
university vocabulary.
The things that a student needs to know about Foreign
universities from applying to studying there.
hello
Thank you professor, you were very clear and the quiz excellent too.
Greetings from Costa Rica…
This is the second “thank you”!
gooood Job Mr Alex :) interesting
Hi, Alex. Very important lesson. Although it’s not a very difficult subject, you are right. when it comes to pronunciation, i have some difficulty in pronunciating the ordinal sixth. But i’ll follow your tip – i think that with some training, i’ll do very well. thank you so much
oops… sorry for the “training”. the right spelling, of course, is trainning.
I like all these lessons cause they have quizzes at the end.
I know this site thanks to Ronnie videos on youtube.
So Clear Alex, Thank you….
Thank you!
Hi Alex! You are Nice Teacher. Thanks
I Scored 9 out of 10. But i have a question That Why this is wrong?
He’s Written over the twentieth books?
The correct one was-
He’s written over twenty books.
Please Anybody Reply?
Because 20th is an ordinal number and in this sentence you have to use a cardinal number-20.
I’m the sixth person to leave a comment. I got a great score in the quiz that made me happy lol. thank u Alex. so long n’ good bye.

I approve the quiz.

All the lessons from you are great! Thanks teacher. We know you’ve been doing a lot for our weaknesses in English.
Alex,could you possibly do any lessons on negative questions at your convenience?
I think it would be helpful in daily conversations. Can all modals be used to make negative questions,say, ‘May and Might’?
Again, thank you very much!

Hi Alex! Thank you for the lesson. I’m trainning a lot to pronunciate correctly, at least for me, to pronounce those cardinal numbers is “a seven head monster” (idiom used in my country :)). I don’t know if it exists in English, but I hope you get what I’m saying (trying to say).
Respectfully

Hey Alex
It’s very interesting ” ninth” and not nineth. I dind’t know.
Thanks :)
nice one Alex….
Great lesson
Thank you so much Alex
It was very basic and easy.
Next time, I want to know the difference in pronunciation between Today, Two days.
I intended to say ‘Today’, but almost people mistook it for ‘Two days’ or asked if the word I said is ‘Today’ or ‘Two days’.
I don’t know how to pronounce these words well.
If it’s possible please teach me..
I´ve liked remembering this lesson.
That´s great.
Thank you for doing so easy.
Yes, sixth is the most difficult to pronounce. The rest are easy, thanks Alex!
Thanks Alex.
Thanks Alex! This is so good!
I like this lesson. Thanks Mr.Alex :-)
