Hey Ronnie thanks for this useful lesson…
I’ve got a doubt: how do I use the word cramp?
Is it I’ve cramps?
You can say I’ve got cramps or I have cramps. ‘Cramp’ is a noun, so you need to use a verb in the sentence — have!

HI, i like ur lession so much. my English is not so good but can understand u. ur teaching style is nice.
dear rani
I am jhoni from India (Chennai)
I saw your English teaching videos
i like it then i need your help i do lot of spelling mistakes so can you tell me how is rectifier this problem.
Hello!
The only way to help with spelling problems is to write out the words many times!
hello
i have seen ur lectures i am very impressed from ur teaching style well i want to know the meaning and usage of this sentence i have had fewer for 10 days?
The sentence “I have had fewer for 10 days” makes no sense at all. Perhaps you wanted to say I have had a fever for 10 days. That means you have been sick for 10 days!
Hello my dear English Teachers

The lessons are put into levels for you. You should start at the “beginners” level and then go up!
Good luck and thanks for watching!
really interesting topic. I have learned English in the USA and I never had the chance to learn these vocs.
thanks for the lessen, but I have a question. do you think there are different idioms in US about PMS from these you use in Canad?
I think for sure there is different slang for talking about PMS in Canada and America!!!
u people r doing great job
i love you, Ronnie! :)
i hope you make some videos again about everyday life situation, which vocabularies are not quite often heard by non english speaker, like topics in real conversation. i hope you get what i mean :)
Yes I understand what you mean! I will make more videos soon!!!
hi ronnie can i say I HAVE MENSES Is it correct or not plz tell me i am waiting
Hello!
To say you have menses is the medical term for your period! Most people would have no idea what you are talking about, unless they have a medical background!
Peace be upon you

Hey Ronnie, my name is Shaun an English Language Student currently conducting research for my dissertation.

Hi Ronnie. I find your classes awesome. I’m an University Professor from Brazil and I’m doing a PhD here in Toronto. I’m looking for private English classes to improve my learning. Is it possible to have ono-to-one classes with you or any of the other EngVid teachers? I said “any” because you guys are really good. Thanks.
Yes, I offer private lessons!!!! Are you studying at U of T?
When would you like to do the lessons – how many per week – for how long etc… let me know and we can begin whenever you are ready!
Hi Ronnie. I was out of the city during last week and with no access to internet. But I’m back today and happy with your reply.
Yes, I am a postgraduate student of U of T. Actually, I’m doing part of my PhD at SickKids Hospital. I work at the Hospital everyday from 9 to 5, except for Wednesday, when I have the whole day off.
I am in Toronto since last September and I will be returning to Brazil on August 26, 2011. So, I would like to try to have English classes until my return to Brazil (in 3 months). Initially, I was thinking about having 1-2 hours of class per week. maybe more. However, I need to fit the classes in my “budget”.
Please, may you let me know about your scheadule and the cost of the classes? Thanks once more for your reply and I hope to hear from you soon, Ivo

Hey, Ronnie.
Loved your lesson, it is very useful.
hello dear instructor, i would like to express my deepest gratitude for your lesson, it was really useful. and i want to ask you is it possible to say ‘ i have got cramps.’
if you do not mind, i want to warn or tell me about any mistakes that i have made or written in this comment.
Yes, ” I have got cramps” is correct!
Mistakes in the comment – only a few!! You must ALWAYS use a capital “I” in every sentence, “I want you to tell me about any mistakes I have made. Also, at the beginning of every sentence, you have to use a capital!!!
hi ronnie
i like all your lessones
Greaaaaat ^_- thank u !!!
Hi, I’m from faculty of science,already I studied by english but its ascientific word,now I want to work but I don’t how to speak with people.what’s your advice to me?
I think if you watch American tv you could learn more natural English! Watch with English subtitles….not Portuguese! Good luck!
Hello Ronnie. All your lesson are really useful. Thank you very much.
Ibuprofen I guess
HI Ronnie, could you please make a lesson on using going to and gonna, I mean when we should not use the short version and when it is acceptable.
And one more thing annoying me – we say Thank you FOR doing sth/sth and I am sorry ABOUT I did sth/doing sth/sth. Is that right? And when want to thank sb for sth sb did in the past we say thank you that you did? …
We SAY gonna and we WRITE going to. It almost always acceptable to say gonna in causal conversation – but in business or formal speeches, it it better to say going to!
Thank you FOR doing sth/sth and I am sorry ABOUT I did sth/doing sth/sth. Is right!
In the past you don’t need to change – just say Thanks or thank you. If you want, you can say thanks for what you did!
Thank you for the answer.
Bets teacher that I met !! are you comedian ? LOL
just kidding as you !!!

Hi Ronnie! I find your lessons pretty clear and natural!
In this last video I have a doubt about the word cramps. I understand the meaning but I don´t know how to use the word in a phrase, I mean, would it be ok if I said: I have cramps?
Thank you anyway! Best regards from Spain!
Yes! “Cramps“ is a noun. So we say “I have cramps“
Lesson is good.

Dear Ronnie:
I enjoy a lot your lessons. You are a very good teacher. Thank you for your help.
That’s… weird.
Hi Ronnie, your lessons are awesome. I´m from Costa Rica and it is almost impossible to practice here with native speakers. I have been watching your videos and they are a great tool in the process of foreign language acquisition. Thanks for your help.
great job
mam.

Hi Ronnie, your lessons are very good. I have a request for you.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!¡!¡!!¡ I love red velvet cake!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to get it!!!!!!
wow~soooo good!!
it’s a good lesson i liked it because i knew some new words as a man, i don’t come adross with them very often.
thank you
Hi, Ronnie. This lesson is really useful for women! I think all men should watch this video and understand it for your partner. Anyway, is this right to say “I always take a pill everyday to reduce PMS”? Thank you very much.
“I always take a pill everyday to reduce PMS”? You just need to say “I always take a pill to reduce PMS”? or “I take a pill everyday to reduce PMS”? You don’t need both everyday and always – they mean the same thing!
Hello Ms. Ronnie,
Hope everything is ok with you.
You did great job but let me ask you 2 question
1- Is it correct if i said “I have a period”\”I have period”?
2- What the different between pads and Tampons, I know that tampons like Always in our country Egypt “Always is name of product for the period”. Please Answer me.
Thanks a lot.
Mira
We say I have my period.
Pads are worn outside of the body, tampons inside. Always are pads.
hi,ronnie.
Thanks alot for your effort,I realy enjoy your lessons and if you allow me I use them in my classes(as I’m an English teacher) and also I direct my students to watch these lessons at home, but I want your advice for a way to get my students study and learn more English as they hate it very much and think it’s very hard specially (this year, but in general students in my country hate English no matter what we tell them about its importance in their lif) please, I feel bad as I have taught many students over the last 13 years and most of them were very good, or (if I’m allowed to say) excellent student and we keeo in touch (using as much as we can of English). thanks again.
p.s. I’m from Aqaba Jordan
You have to find something that the students like – music, movies, sports etc…that they can see/listen to in English. It’s probably the content that bores the students! Textbooks are very, very, very boring!
you re my favorite teacher….
i luv the way u teach…u r tha best teacher+funny teacher..:)GOD bless u mam….:)thank u…
Well done mam.

Hi ronny great lesson! eventhough I’m a guy! haha one question… you said that bitchy means “snarky” (that’s what I got) and I looked it up but I couldn’t find, is that a slang term? or did I get the word wrong?
Snarky is not slang – it should be in your dictionary!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snarky

Is that possible to use spasm as a synonym for cramps? According to dictionaries both mean a contraction of a muscle causing a sudden pain.
Technically, it is not wrong but we don’t say it. We say cramps.
Hi , your lesson is so useful , and you are on of the most excellent teacher i have ever seen.
Hi, you are to funny… your lesson is usefull for all the woman. you are a great teacher, i just love your lesson, thank you for let me improve.
Hi Ronnie, Can I say, I am Bloated?
thank
Yes!
Hi Ronnie
When we say it isn’t a rude sentence ?
Thanks
You can say I am in a bad mood! It means the same as “I am bitchy”!
I am bitchy…
sorry , i don’t know why this sentence wasn’t send correctly.
Regards
