Here’s an advice: try role-playing. For instance, get a good movie on DVD, set the language and the subtitles to English (or better, get the movie script off the Internet), and try speaking as actors do. Then, when you’ll know whole dialogues by heart, try ‘acting’ the scenes as naturally as possible. Remember to turn the subtitles off, or you’ll end up looking at people’s feet in everyday’s life! ;-) Joking…
thanks but I would like to know what the different between make , do and take
Thank you

James you’re cruel, how can you say : “you should always were condom”, what is my pewe:))sausage. Well you know I’m kidding, I always were at least one in my wallet. For me (you’re the best means redundancy) so I shall say just you’re James, and I hope you will post in a lesson, something about will and shall. You shall do this because many people make promises without knowing. I will watching you:d

thank you James.
Hi James,
That was excellent.
I am actually having problems with: Modals of Deduction…any help or lesson would be great.
James, where is the quiz? It’s a good example of deviation of expectation, haha. You’d better prepare a quiz, when you say that there’ll be a quiz. :) you shouldn’t joke about it !
Wow, I liked that so much… Specially because I teach English here in Brasil, so it’s very helpful for me when I have to prepare my classes!!!
Thanks!!!
your examples are amazing!!!! COngratulations
Hi james, your lessons are really exciting. I have a question: is this sentence right or wrong? “In English, modals are used to express possibility” I think it should be “In English, modals are used to expressing possibility”.
well on general terms its the present simple tense. Its used this way over and over (Present simple = repeated actions or habits)
THANKS TEACHER THANKS AGAIN
Guys, I still didn’t catch what a strange snake James drew)what’s the connection between it and a drink?)explain it to me please)
hello kate,
it simply means: Overdrinking alcoholic drinks could kill you…like a venom of a snake.
Hello,
welcome back nice guy, how are you doing? I wish you have a nice health. Let me tell you something that no one tell you about, I think there are some friends tell you about what is hidden in my heart to you is I love you so much really, because you’re kind nice gracious man really that what I can say only, if I complete I’m ganna cry, so please don’t teach anymore hahaha I know that you believed my crying, but please don’t worry I’m just kidding with you no problem I’m ok now just go away otherwise; I will cry over and over again. I’m so sorry for making a long paragraph. Thanks alot guy.
Best wishes.
I see you write “it’s base form” instead of “its base form”, it’s not correct, right? ;-)
thank you alot of
C-O-O-O-L!!!

thank you . you are very good teacher and that is
the best way which we can learn from
where is a quiz to be tested? I should do it…. i´d better made it
i got the quiz, I´d better change my glasses
wow!that one of the best side i had visited thank u for your dedication
where is a quiz? :O
I learned that when I talking about peopIe, I could use “She” (for female) or “He” (for male). When I talking about things, I should use “It”.
This expression you wrote “You’d better take drink. HE will kill you!”, according I learned, is wrong . Can I substitute “drink” with “He” “as in your sentence?
we love you James, you are the best teacher! :)
good
