What does the word ‘SURE’ really mean in English?

Hey James, you’re a perfect teacher. The way that you speak is perfect to understand. Congratulations :)

yes,sure,he’s

chiming

The lesson focused more on use rather than on usage i.e. the way people actually talk in the street which is good for us language learners.

This fact coupled with your talking fast made the lesson more authentic and challenging.

Thanks for this superb lesson James.

Bye for now.

Regino

Thanks James! Look forward very much to more lessons from you.

judith beetson

Thanks, great useful lessons. Got it wrong at the No. 10 quiz. Why it is I’m sure I can fix your car instead of sure I can fix your car ???

Julia9688

Because this guy is 100% sure, he added he had 25 years experience in that.

I am sure you are one of the best James. Thank you for the lesson.

I liked your video-lesson James because it focused on use rather than on usage i.e. the way people actually talk in the street.

Thanks for sharing this with us James.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I like to learn with engvid.
Please more lessons about colloquial language, thanks.

petzi

i’m sure i click the wrong alphabet when i’m in 5. but this is good. thanks sir :)

donnafrancy

Hey James,
It was a QUITE useful class for ESL students. Talk is all about feeling and if you don’t take care about it, you can sound different that you would like to.
By the way, I would like to suggest a class about colloquial expressions. I mean some useful everyday expressions. Only the polite ones, right ?! (lol).

Take care!
Marco

mazevedo443

Now I am sure, I have to listen to you before doing the quiz :)
Funny suspenders, but a monochrome tie would make you perfect!

Just kidding….perfect look!!!

I’m not sure about the question 9…
Thak you James!

Dear James,
we are a class of Italian students. You are very nice and funny but you speak too fast for us. We are at elementary level.
We love your friend, Mr E., too.
Bye for now :)

winnie22

We have tried many times to get James to talk slower, but nothing works, so I suggest putting the lesson’s Youtube URL in here: http://www.youtubeslow.com/

engVid Moderator

Thanks for your advice. We tried….it has been very funny but not very useful hahahaha

winnie22

I disagree with winnie22. For me it’s good, because James speaks fast like most of native english speakers. It helps us to get used to normally spoken language.
Hint1. If you have troubles with speed you should enable subtitles :)
Hint2. Start learning with Rebecca’s lessons, then Emma’s lessons they speak clearly and slowly :)

mackmnk

Thanks for your hints. Unfortunately Rebecca and Emma don’t do all the lessons we need.
Ciao from Italy :)

mackmnk

I´m agree with you it´s not the same speak with a Esl speaker than a native speaker they speak so fast i´m a intermidiate student and i try to understand what James says even if he speaks so fast because that´s how i want to speak too.

Regards

YooksRuiz

Hey James! These suspenders fit you veeery well!! You look like my English school teacher, believe me! (but he’s 50 ,oops!) By the way, the lesson is perfect as well as all of your lessons I’ve seen. Remember me to Mr.Eee and I hope to see you soon! Take care..

Hi James)) i’ve a question for you, plse… I have a problem with my vocabulary. I learn at least 40-50words every day with definitions and cue-cards. The problem is…after learning these words i can’t use them while i’m speaking, i hardly remember them and while writing essays the same happens too. But when i hear, read these words at the second time i perfectly understand them. What should i do?…
Thanks in advance.

Zarnigor

When i learn a new word i always try to put that word in a sentences or a question, if you do this you will remember them easily. it´s so hard to try to memorize 40-50 new words i don´t know if advisable to do that.

YooksRuiz

I’m sure that I’m improving my english here.

eng.dpv

was fun and easy I hope to learn more.

James if you please can you make video about Noun clauses ?
It is so difficult for me
with my appreciation

black moon

Hi James! Nice lesson :), Thank you. I would like to ask you if you could make other lesson(s) about proper use of such words as: just, only, else, merely, already, yet and also. I often feel confused, because I don’t know if I always use them properly. I believe you can prepare very interesting lesson for us with Mr. E :D

Jaweedrashid

Hi, James!
I am sorry, that I write here.
But can you make a video where you can tell how should be look like English sentences?
I mean, what should be stay on first – nouns or modal verb and at second, and etc.
In Russian it is not metter what should stay at first or second, for example:
Helen reads a book = A book reads Helen. But for English man it is disaster :)
Very sorry about my bad English, I hope you will read my comment.
