Valen, thank you for the lesson . Is it possible to say: “If our competitors don’t comply we are going to have to play hardball?
Yes, that sentence is correct!

Greattt…Thank you…
you wrote ” We Hired Makr because he is computer savvy.” why not ” We hired Mark because he is “A” computer Savvy.?
Thank you.
“Computer-savvy” is an adjective, not a noun, which is why we cannot use “a” before it. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much.You are a great teacher and so beautiful too.And this website is really wonderful and we are in need for such websites.We are waiting for more interesting and important lessons.
And i have a questions: Why didn’t you say ” A savvy computer”? is it because “savvy” is an adjective without a noun?i’m waiting to the answer.
Yes akram, you are right. The expression “computer-savvy” is an adjective so we don’t use A.

thank you so much teacher, my english is not good so I cant hear clearly what you sad, can you speak slowly please! Thanks teacher!
i agree with you but i want something like lyrics or like we see in the films in the bottom of the screen the english words that help us to know what they say
ahmed

it’s my first comment in your wonderful site but i want to suggest new idea for ur website and ur videos
and if you do it
belive me the people who watch ur lectures will be increasing more and more and more
i suggest for all the teachers in this website to make an english text contains ur english talking cause more of us can’t hear you clearly i mean text like lyrics and accompany your videos as we see in films translation in the bottom of the screen
i’m really need it and i think that every one sign in ur site need it and can’t hear u clearly
I read your opinion. but…
I don’t think so. (just opinion)
I think hearing is more important to students than reading.
If we can read, not listen to, what teachers say, we may not try to listen to teacher.
and then, we can’t make our hearing ability more powerful.
so I think it is better to let it be.
how do you think ?
J.ONE
I also strongly disagree with this proposal. If you can’t hear clearly you should hear this video again and again.

i had posted a comment from a short time but i don’t find it now :(
generally i only suggested to accompany ur videos in the engvid site with english texts like we see in the bottom of the film’s tv screen cause i and i think that more of us can’t hear you clearly
the reason of that not from u but because more of us weak in the english language and log in ur site to improve it

Dear Valent,
Do you know if all the expressions you mentioned are used in USA also ??? I don’t want to use them with this guys in order to show off I’m aware of business expressions and discover that they are looking at me with a question mark at their forehead !!!!
Thanks a lot for showing a lot of passion during your English classes.
