Are you sure? Did you know that sure can mean different things? You can use this word to express agreement OR disbelief. Watch this vocabulary lesson now to learn how! Then take the quiz on www.engvid.com to make sure you understand the lesson.
Hey James, you’re a perfect teacher. The way that you speak is perfect to understand. Congratulations :)

yes,sure,he’s

The lesson focused more on use rather than on usage i.e. the way people actually talk in the street which is good for us language learners.
This fact coupled with your talking fast made the lesson more authentic and challenging.
Thanks for this superb lesson James.
Bye for now.

Hey James,
It was a QUITE useful class for ESL students. Talk is all about feeling and if you don’t take care about it, you can sound different that you would like to.
By the way, I would like to suggest a class about colloquial expressions. I mean some useful everyday expressions. Only the polite ones, right ?! (lol).
Take care!
Marco
mazevedo443

Dear James,
we are a class of Italian students. You are very nice and funny but you speak too fast for us. We are at elementary level.
We love your friend, Mr E., too.
Bye for now :)
winnie22
We have tried many times to get James to talk slower, but nothing works, so I suggest putting the lesson’s Youtube URL in here: http://www.youtubeslow.com/
engVid Moderator
Thanks for your advice. We tried….it has been very funny but not very useful hahahaha
winnie22
I disagree with winnie22. For me it’s good, because James speaks fast like most of native english speakers. It helps us to get used to normally spoken language.
Hint1. If you have troubles with speed you should enable subtitles :)
Hint2. Start learning with Rebecca’s lessons, then Emma’s lessons they speak clearly and slowly :)
mackmnk
Thanks for your hints. Unfortunately Rebecca and Emma don’t do all the lessons we need.
Ciao from Italy :)

I´m agree with you it´s not the same speak with a Esl speaker than a native speaker they speak so fast i´m a intermidiate student and i try to understand what James says even if he speaks so fast because that´s how i want to speak too.

Hi James)) i’ve a question for you, plse… I have a problem with my vocabulary. I learn at least 40-50words every day with definitions and cue-cards. The problem is…after learning these words i can’t use them while i’m speaking, i hardly remember them and while writing essays the same happens too. But when i hear, read these words at the second time i perfectly understand them. What should i do?…
Thanks in advance.
Zarnigor
When i learn a new word i always try to put that word in a sentences or a question, if you do this you will remember them easily. it´s so hard to try to memorize 40-50 new words i don´t know if advisable to do that.

I’m sure that I’m improving my english here.

Hi James! Nice lesson :), Thank you. I would like to ask you if you could make other lesson(s) about proper use of such words as: just, only, else, merely, already, yet and also. I often feel confused, because I don’t know if I always use them properly. I believe you can prepare very interesting lesson for us with Mr. E :D

Hi, James!
I am sorry, that I write here.
But can you make a video where you can tell how should be look like English sentences?
I mean, what should be stay on first – nouns or modal verb and at second, and etc.
In Russian it is not metter what should stay at first or second, for example:
Helen reads a book = A book reads Helen. But for English man it is disaster :)
Very sorry about my bad English, I hope you will read my comment.
