Thanks james:)

Tuesday, May 15th 2012Reply to this comment

hi, James. I like your classes so much. But I think that you speak really fast; so I don’t understand you so well. please, try to speak not so fast so that learners of English who are already fluent in English but still have some difficulty in understanding English when native speakers talk fast, can undersdand you better. hugs. bye.

Wednesday, May 16th 2012Reply to this comment

wow .. i really like the lesson ..
and believe me when i say this .. you are one of the best teachers i have ever had .
but i’m gently asking you ” if you can make more videos about the slang ” .
i think it would help more
thank you :)

you are awesome teacher…i love u man

Wednesday, May 16th 2012Reply to this comment

I think that to communicate well you have to know slang. That’s why I believe this lesson is important. James is a great teacher, perhaps he would be a great actor as well, because the way He uses body language is funny and also makes easy to understand the whole idea! Thank you James, keep doing this amazing job!

Wednesday, May 16th 2012Reply to this comment

this is a great lessons! looking for more like that!
thanks!

Wednesday, May 16th 2012Reply to this comment

Thursday, May 17th 2012Reply to this comment

Hi James
I see that the slang “suck” with its several variations is very very used in real English and in movies too.
So I hope that you continue making lessons with this king of slang as well as you don’t change the way you act while you teach (in a funny way).
See you next time
