Dear Mrs.Rebecca,
It’s very sad that none of the teachers respond/answers to our questions. I have been writing to all the teachers including you, but none of you have replied. It’s quite discouraging and disappointing when teachers like you don’t respond.
Best Regards,

Thursday, November 3rd 2011Reply to this comment

    We do appreciate your taking the time to write. All the teachers work full-time in addition to engvid. If you look back through other lessons, you will see that we do answer questions whenever we can. All the best with your English.

9 correct out of 10, lol thanks for the lesson

Saturday, November 5th 2011Reply to this comment

u didnt said about _ese.. like chinese, lebanese, vietnamese??? actually, what things that make them different??

Sunday, November 6th 2011Reply to this comment

    You are absolutely right – that is another pattern, ending with “ese”, as in Japanese & Portuguese. There are historic and linguistic reasons for the various suffixes (endings) used.

    In this lesson, I only covered a few of the endings. Another one includes er, as in Icelander.

    All the best with your English.

    Thursday, November 10th 2011Reply to this comment
