Thanks for learning with this lesson! I will make more listening lessons in the future, but I will make other kinds of lessons as well.

Alex

Thanks a lot for this lesson. I learn more words and expressions likes “a sea of people”, “bullies”, “Downstairs” and “Waffles” that I didn’t know them yet.

Salex

That’s great! Listening and reading regularly are essential for vocabulary development.

Alex

By the way I got 9/10 correct questions.

Salex

Well done, Salex.

Alex

Great!
Thanks Alex!

Thank you so much, Alex, for this amazing audio lesson! It’s quite useful experience. I love your pronunciation and all the stories were really interesting. To be honest, I didn’t answer all the questions correctly. I wish I could visit Canada and New Your one day. I’m sure it’d be unforgettable experience. Thanks a bunch for your lessons! Take care.

Zhanna Maltseva

I’m glad you liked the lesson and that my pronunciation was clear for you. It seems like people like this format, so I will definitely use it again in the future. Have a nice day!

Alex

Arigato sensei Alex!

My pleasure, Javier. Have a good week!

Alex

Hi Alex, thank you so much for your new, and unexpected lesson.
I really enjoyed it, and helped me to improve my listening skills.
I have one notice in the third story about the verb employed with hair,
Should we say I brush or I comb my hair ?
Thank you again Mr Alex for what you do for us, you are wonderful.

Padovano

I’m glad this was unexpected. It seems like it has been a pleasant surprise, which makes me quite happy.

I say both. Usually, shorter hair is combed, and longer hair is brushed.

Alex

You speak so clearly that it’s great pleasure to listen to you

Goryanchik Maxim

That’s nice to hear. Thanks! I’m glad this was helpful.

Alex

Great ! It’s a good way to improve your listening skills. At the beginning I didn’t understand well. And no subtitles to help you! But as I listened again (and again) , what I usually don’t do, my understanding became better. Great idea to allow access to the written text only at the end. Very good exercice ! Very good lesson ! Very good teacher ! Merci beaucoup Alex.

Archibaldo

I’m glad you listened to the audio multiple times. Also, thank you for mentioning the transcript for the bonus quiz. That was an idea I had, and I’m glad it was a good one. 😅

Alex

Great Lesson! Where can I get the transcript? I did not catch that – perhaps I was not listening!!!

dkabara

Thanks for watching the lesson. The transcript is here: https://youtu.be/EX8RJR4-6PE?si=ddt3EYJxlbz3SpHf

Open the description, go to the bottom, click “Show transcript,” and it will appear beside the video.

Have a good week!

Alex

Alex How often do you do this kind of exercises? because I live it. greetings from mexico

jorgeespinosa

This is my first time posting this kind of lesson. The feedback here and on YouTube has been very positive, so I will likely make more lessons like this in the future. I’d like to make the lessons more interactive for learners in general.

Alex

Thanks Alex for this amazing new way to practice English here.

Ederson 783

I’m happy to hear that you liked it. I’ll make more in the future.

Alex

Hey Alex :)
I don’t know if you’ll read this.
You and Emma (I know the proper order from your previous lesson :D ) are my favourite teachers from Engvid :)
Your videos/ lessons are very interesting and remain in my memory for a very long time :)
This lesson is also very useful and helpful for me because I have listening comprehension problem so this new video style is a really great idea.
I can’t wait for your next video :)
Best wishes :)

Aneta EngVid

Hi Aneta,

Thank you for your kind feedback. I really appreciate it, and I can guarantee that you will see more listening lessons in 2025. :)

Alex

Definitely in love with new format. Would be glad to watch more lessons like this one. But I think it can be a little bit overwhelming and hard to remember everything from 2 minutes audio fragment so you can complete the quiz correctly. Otherwise it feels like cheating if answer during listening or glancing into transcription. At least for me)) Thank you anyway Alex. You are a talanted teacher. <3 <3 <3

Hantera

Haha. I think it’s okay to keep the questions in your mind and to answer them as you listen. But I hear what you’re saying.

Alex

Dear Alex, this was really an advanced lesson. The English language has tons over tons of words and phrases.
The stories you told may be simple. But every spoken language is much more difficult to listen to and to understand in the same moment for foreigner. Neverthelees thank you for the new method to teach us. See ya!
