    The German name of the currency isn’t Deutsche Mark (DM) any more. In January 2002, DM was replaced by Euro (€). Anyway, great explanation of differences between ‘bi’, ‘buy’, ‘by’ and ‘bye’. Well done :)

    Thanks for teaching me James, I have one complaint. You speak too fast man! But don’t change your way of speaking! I’m going to win this challenge by listening to you and the other teachers! I’d like to ask you a thing! Could you please teach me when I can use “ain’t”. I know it might seem useless, but I’m sure that there are people who’d like to know about it too! Big Hug!
