Great lesson, thank you so much, but I think that you are a bit clown sometimes. Thanks!
clowning is good. Makes you remember!
now you know david’s your unconscious learning lol!!! that’s why i love watching prof, james
he is not a clown, he is a great teacher, “being funny” is just a way to explain you and teach you!
but when you are going to learn english or any language you sometimes learn having some fun
Nice! Thank you!
Teacher, thank u very much! I learn a lot with u!
Here in Brazil is the Teacher’s Day! Congratulations to u, btw!
Thanks for your great tips.
I will be active ,so this is my comment.
Me too dot
thank you are a very good teacher
i want ask how i can his a good accent .
I personal think that this short lesson is very useful not only for students but also for “green” lol teachers that are looking for new ways to explain the important of being proactive when you are learning any foreign language. Now there is one thing that the instructor did while he was explain the lesson that I personal think was not right or ethical to do, and that was the fake accent or the imitation of the student’s foreign accents that he did. Just by listening to him I found out what ethnicity background his’ students are, and that did not sound right to me. That was not ethical. :(
U have a mistake in phrase:”I personal think”. It’s correct to say “I personally think”
yes.. I agree with you..the techniques you explained in the video is really very helpful and if anyone follows them they can easily improve their english level.I have been watching videos in this site for the last 3 months and it’s true that I have improved.I have been lerning new words also their usage and placing them in sentences..As you showed an example of different usage of the word “green” I can also give you another example..the usage of “PLAY”..
1.I play football.(sports)
2.I can play the violin.(musical instrument)
3.I saw a play(drama) last night as I went to countryside..
4.That freak and fraud guy is just playing with your life, he is not the right one for you.(cheating)
if any error is present in my sentences ,I would like ypu to rectify them..thanks a lot..
I love you James :-)
I like all your lessons, the way you teach and the funy you are.
Thanks much
May I have you cell number?.
Greate Work Dear, i appriciate.
Thank you, James!
i want improve my english speaking. but i cant find people who can help me (( is there any one who can talk me on skype regularly and help me ?
Teachers pls help me ))
maybe we can help each other. My skype ID is zevictorc.
ok, see ya!
I have the same problem as you.Unfortunately I don’t have enough practice in speaking English. Currently I have intermediate level.If somebody with the same or higher level wants to practice English, I offer to speak via skype on different topics: news, politics, sience, weather, books, movies, etc. If you are interested, could you please write me a personal e-mail. I wish everybody good luck and fun in learning English
i can help you here’s my skype ID: cool.emy.hashim :D
thank u MR James 4 this helpful lesson. but let me ask u one question where i can use these techniques every day when every thing around me doesn’t have any Relationsship with E lunguage like at home, work & even with my friends?
I know it’s difficult to use english words in everyday life if you don’t live in England or another englishspeaking country. But I found my way to remember foreign words – when I do some routine things, I try to remember the foreign equivalent of russian words.. Maybe try to explain or retell what you are doing in english.. Sometimes it’s useful and helps not to forget everything you have reached with so much efforts in english classes :)
i want learn more and improve my self.
also, i want know grammer and spalling in english.
thank you alot.
good lesson
Nice examples Sona Sharma.
I have my own prescription for learning English, and I want to share it with You.
I noticed it is tired when I am forced to repeat english words back and forth. Instead of this I am listening English audiobooks almost every day (currently I am listening to Harry Potter). At the beginning I didn’t understand a lot of sentences but now I understand almost 90% words. Continuously listening audiobooks causes that some words are easier to remember. The next step when I finish audiobook is to read the book and then write down all words which I don’t understand. For me it’s the best and easiest way to learn new words so far.
Does anyone have a similar point of view. If so – what books would You recommend to use for such type of learning.
I think this is a very good way to text our level of comprention
did you mean TEST?. No ofend just courious. Best regards!
i would like to ask Marek a question,about when you are listening English audiobooks everyday,do you look book at same time?or just listening?after finishing listening then read book?thanks!
James I am from Brazil you dont imagine how difficult is learn english here thanks for this good tips.
You got the point there.
thank u so much James, I got it dude, but with female teachers is much more better to me understand english, appreciate your effort. have a great day.
thanks teacher James
I LOVE you, James!! I recently went from being an English student to an English teacher. I hope my students will love me the way I love you!
Kisses all the way from Tunisia!!
funny and useful , i even use some of your tips while i’m teaching my class “law subject” . thank you my teacher

Its a great lesson… i love it… i like your way of teaching, I cant understand easily….
thanks so much… you are a great teacher…
i mean.. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND… LOL
dear james ! Can you give more example with the word GREEN ?
Thanks for your kindness, James.
i like your way how to teach,easy short and effective.thanks
Thanks a lot! These advices very useful and i will try to use it. Especially advice that with “understand it”. I hope everyone here will understand that i wrote :)
THats right and nice .
thank a lot sir james.you are one of the best as far as English teaching is concerned and we respect you.
I’d like to use English. Do you Know a “group of English conversation” on line, through wich emprove our language?
I think you should be deprived of license to teach courses because stupid ideas suggested by you contradict those who want to make career in business
Thanks!
Hi “in my opinion”! I don’t understand how the ideas of this video can “contradict” (or maybe you meant “stop you from”?) making career in business? Furthermore, to make a career in business, you need to be a good commercial and negotiator so you have to be open-minded to different points of view and be able to express a different opinion without offending the interlocutor (abilities that you don’t seem to have). And above all, you need to have a general knowledge the more complete as possible(especially on subject completely different from your own specialization) in order to make the difference from you to another one. So begin to think that everything is interesting and worth it to be studied!
I like your way of teaching. Its really nice
Hello Sir,
It’s a good lesson, Thank you very much.
Just landed here in the web. I’ll stick to it. Great explanation. You have a new student!

thanks
I like your lesson.

good job to you man…im from indonesia…and this tutorial its very helpfull to me..thanks before..btw,am i make some mistake?correcting me please..:-(
nice,
Good job teacher! Very useful :)
I will be leaving for China in a few days and will be teaching in small village schools that have one classroom and all levels of ages and experience with English in the room. I need some suggestions as to what to give as a lesson for a broad range of students. Unfortunately, I will only be allowed to be there one day. You can imagine how difficult it can be to maximize effective learning in one day. So far i like your ideas of using as many tools as possible to engage the student with humor, activity and participation….and yes…I hate boring teachers! Any ideas?
Hi James,today this lesson is very good.
Wow It was so nice! I liked it a lot.
Congratulations! You are a great teacher!

Hey, James, I have a simple question:
When you talk like a student, do you change your accent?
Hi, James. Please. Do you know if exist website with free french video lessons like this?
In my opinion, if you want learn English so fast , remember , you have to Ora rise every day. In this lesson , the teacher gives some idea , it is good , but not enough for us need. So we could have learn too much before take the text in the next time. I know when every body watch this lesson I thank too much to teacher and glad . You have to said to yourself it is never enough for myself. That is you will learn.
Hello James,
Good job.i liked your lesson. I enjoyed.I was true lesson for lot of student and espacialy me. I try to be green.
