Thank you sir for your great efforts. Ilike all your lessons and we need more .

Professor Alex, you are great! Thank you so much for your lessons! I’ve always gotten confused with those doubled letters, and now it’s very clear to me! I’ve been studying english for many years, and I was never told about this rule nor about ordering adjectives (another great lesson!). Hope to hear more from you!

Hey, thanks for the lesson. I am about to take the TOEFL test, and this was a topic I was a little concerned about. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

i am now a fourth year college here in philippines and my language research is about spelling having double consonants and silent letters and my goal is to find out the frequently misspelled words of freshmen education students of our school and i’m so glad that thru this research i also learn about this thing which most of the students have no care of

Thanks! I’m a teacher and I’ve been struggling to simplify what seems like an overly-complicated idea. You managed it perfectly. I will point my students to EngVid.com for review after class.

Great Alex.

Thanks teacher, my english will be best with your help, but I have a doubt, is in the five question, the Ring word if follow the single syllable CVC rule, it must spell ringging, true? pleasse helpme is the one ask I wrong.

I am grateful to Alex.I like how you say words,very clearly.I am from Lithuania.

Great lesson Mr Alex ,I like your lessons . I find it very interesting and useful ..
i have one N.B sir ,
CVC stands for Chronic Venous Congestion .,,, hh just kidding .
keep it up ( Great Teacher) and Thanks a lot for helping us .

how about ” appalled , cruelled, duelled , refuelled …” they end with “l” , so will we double “l” in all cases ?

Hi – just watched your doubling consonant video (thank you!!). What about the word row? It is one syllable and the last 3 letters are CVC, but it is rowing not rowwing…?

professor Alex
thank you so much and God bless you all!

You are my best teacher.Waiting for your new videos…

i like the way you teach us…
thank you so much….

Thanks teacher. You are very nice !

Thank you! Your lessons are really nice and clear. I am improving my English watching your videos.

The doubling rule applies for words ending in one short vowel + one consonant, so “exited” is an exception.

man the quiz was easy but i know what i did wrong thanks how do i take a different quiz this make learning to another leve for me

Hi, Alex. your lesson is great. making me to understand them clearly.
Thank you very much.

Thank you Alex. It is an excellent lesson for doubling consenant. I am always have a problem with doulbing words. Thank you again

Thank you, I really learned a lot from this video, I also have problems with syllables, I would be happy if you work on it:)

thank you very much for your english lesson. i dont understand why in the questin n° 5 you have put the answer n° 2 . i think that “ring” can be “ringging”?
