How to change a fight into a discussion
Stop fighting and start talking! We all get into arguments; usually, it’s with the people we care about the most. In this lesson, you will learn how to relax someone who’s angry, and how to express your feelings in a productive way. That’s right. You can end most fights by following the simple advice that I will share with you here. This is an English lesson, but you’re also going to improve your relationship and social skills. I’ll teach you vocabulary and expressions in English that you can use to start having meaningful conversations. Furthermore, you’ll learn a little psychology, to make you a better communicator.

thanks very much you great teacher
Amazing and very usefull lesson. I love the question with armpit :D brilliant sense of humor and concentration check
ohhh!
Really handy
Thanks James, nice and interesting lesson!
Thanks James, this lesson was very useful…I got 9/10..thanks..:)
Me too!!
I am very grateful to you! This lesson isn`t just for improving language skills – it`s predominantly for understanding the reasons of people`s behavior as well as for understanding myself. Brilliant and useful. Thank you very much!
I put “confused” in number four and “disappointed” in number 8. “Disappointed” and “anxious” fit better but it’s not that bad anyways, right? Thanks for the lesson! :)
10/10 thanks James…Not only for the english
Every time you emphasis that you are more than just a teacher, you are a wise man too .. many thanks for you James
thanks James
for english, for your wisdom and… for your yellow tie
He is easily the most fashionable EngVid teacher. We all hate him for it.
I really understand your point, but don’t be upset for this reason :-)
?
Thanks James, is for me so difficult to explain, but is very interesting your lesson.
Thanks, I’m waiting by engVid.
Thanks, James.Don’t be confused, keep your speed of talking.
Thanks a lot but is there a subtitle for the video?
Yes. Click the “CC” button in the bottom right corner of the video:
Thank you very much
That was a good lesson! Thank you =D
thnks for lesson james
I love engvid so much. Thanks for this wonderful lesson.
Well, this lesson was a little odd, weird and strange for me because you have to use seven synonyms of “angry” and you have to compare these synonyms with the context of the situation, then you should choose the right word to express your opinion and it’s difficult to remember the meaning of all of them. Anyhow, it was a good performance and explanation but I believe that I have to see it again to get more feed-back. Thanks a lot teacher James from EngVid. Regards.
I have just listened the lesson again and now I remember you when you explained that “people fight or they get into fight because they CARE or take CARE among them”, this is the concept I had also doubted at the beginning but now with a new review of the lesson I think I have understood it. Thanks.
This lesson is very good to improve our listening, vocabulary and good manners.:)
INTERESTING,AND INFORMATIVE, BECAUSE I LEARNT NEW VOCABULARY
Hey! Somebody could you explain me number 10 I am confused…???
If people be care about each other they do not fight but…
i’m also cofused by this question ???!!!!, for that i’ve got 9/10
Hello Karik .
If you care about someone , that means you pay attention of what this person can do or say to you . If it is something that makes you not happy you can feel angry . On the contrary ,if you don’t care , all is nice , nothing can hurt you .
Hope this helps
“Care about” = feel concern is not the same than “take care” = provide care
thanks for this indication, you have a good point ,
i understand now without confusiong , and i remember that Mr james has mentioned the first meaning, but when i was reading the last question the second meaning went throught my mind instead of the first.
Thank you! Charleville I got it
But I did 7 of 10 and I am not angry)
same like u got 7 out of 10
thanks for very interesting lesson
Well done, James. Very useful vocabulary! Thank you so much.
Well said James!
This lesson teaches us much more than grammar rules, but how to deal with our neighbour, which is very important in any language, country and culture. Thanks a lot.
I agree with you. When our blood is up, we don’t listen the other person, and our only target is to attack and hurt him/her, making the situation worse and worse… However, when we stop to hear the other person and agree in some points, he/she will probably do the same, and the argument will finish. Great lesson learned!
Hi everyone!
Is there anyone here interested in practising English on Skype or by e-mail? If so, please tell me, because I really want to make some new foreign friends and improve our English together.
All the best!

Thanks,James! I got 10/10, it’s useful.:))
Hi James! Thanks for this video. You not only taught us new vocabulary, you also taught us how to deal with someone that might be angry with us for some reason we do not know.
See you!!
Hi… My score was not good 6 to 10?
I really enjoyed this lesson. I scored 100%!
Excellent class! Thanks a lot!
Very useful, thank you!
Very interesting lesson. Sometimes is good to be reminded we have to listen to the people, to low ourselves and discuss a bit more instead of attack. To put oneself in someone else’s shoes is a good way to understand and to prevent fights.
Those phrases for listen and argue are very helpful as well.
Many thanks James.
Thank you soo much sir
Really I felt fine because you were clear wth this theme.
Thanks you so much.
James did splendid.i was completely overwhelmed by his explanations. Thanks a lot.
I really enjoyed this lesson. Yet, I scored 80%!
Thank you so much

Hi James I was wondering why you wrote ” That (x) hurt…… is it plural? Shouldn’t be ” that hurts ” instead? thanks

I had English as my first language and I really wish that I had you or any of the other teachers as my English teacher instead.
Its been years since I was in school and only now am I finally understanding English and how words are used and how they can change a subject or atmosphere.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, James. I really enjoyed it. 10/10.
Your talking speed improves the listening skill.
Got08/10. James , You are amazing!

Hey James! I really enjoyed this lesson!
You got 10 correct out of 10.
thanks a lot.
It wasn’t only lesson about new vocabulary, but also it was some kind of psychological lesson. Thank you, great lesson :)
One more lesson that I will probably use in my life. These lesson was very important for me because it give us an idea of thinking not about ourselves, but also see the the other side and try to really understand and have an interesting debate or conversation with a friend that maybe is going true a lot lately…
that’s pretty useful for me.
Nice work.
Good lesson.
Being empathetic and good listener
Hi I just want to say thank you ?.?
I love watching your lessons!!!? I’d even add that if you CARE about someone, you ask them questions.However it’s a very delicate issue. How to ask questions and not be perceived as a too curious person? What English phrases could we use in such situations?
10/10
Congratulations to Me 😂👏
Thank you, Mr. James
