Thursday, December 20th 2012Reply to this comment

James, Could you make a video about word “pitch” and different meanings of this word. Every time I see this word while reading or watching something, there appears to be one more meaning of the word depending on context. I can’t catch the idea how and where to use it or not to use. Or at least, tell your colleagues to make a video on it.

Friday, December 21st 2012Reply to this comment

    That’s a good idea! “Pitch” has so many different meanings–it can be a kind of tree sap, a playing field, a proposal for a new book or movie, throwing a baseball, and more. I’ll add it to the lesson request list.

Thank you, Mr. James.

My name is Ayik, i’m a student,
and my english is bad. I just searching for english lesson on internet few days ago and found great site, and i love to study in here every day :D

I just finish your lesson about “Reading skills that work” and take the quiz and i got 90 :D
when i take a quiz, I always check which part that i false,
and in this quiz a false on number 9.

“9. Is it better to practice every day or to take a rest between sessions?
- every day
- rest between sessions”

my answer is “every day” but the correct one is “rest between sessions”. It seems weird to me, is there a mistake at your question or i just do not get what the question mean ? can you help me ?
