Hi dear Emma, I have been carrying on your studies since when I was in my homeland, I migrated to Canada 9 months ago and i am resided in Toronto right now. Toronto is one of the terrible cities that I know for getting a job. Thank you for teaching us. I wish to see you one day in this big city.

A benefit of studying English on engvid.com that is we can study every time and everywhere. A drawback of this one is we don’t know how to practice these knowledge without negative speaker. Thank Emma for your lesson!

Thanks Emma for this lesson!

EduRJ2015

Hello Emma ,
Lack of vocabulary is a huge drawback for those who want to speak a foreing language . A frequent cristisism I have in mind is that traditional english courses often teach not enough synonyms . This leads to many negative aspects in conversation as stumbling over words and monotonous speeches . Your lesson ,Emma , makes a real benefit , here is the ultimate argument in favour of watching Engvid’s vidéos .
Thanks Emma and carry on .

tsamp

Emma,
Thank you very much.
It was really good and auxiliary.

9/10 I miss the point on the fifth, I thought that I have to use “an argument in favour about” instead “in favour of”. Well this are the advantages and disadvantages of learning English so late, oh if I had be more focus in the high school ….!

I have good reasons to study and have learned a lot with you. About the end of the words that end in (ism)I had heard some people saying and I got surprised about the sound, beacause in Brazil words ended in (ismo)sounds like (izmu): Example : fanatísmo
Not much different of english.

Hi,Emma! Thank you! Very useful video. But I didn’t understand the question 3,about the word upside. We can use this word as well as other words in the category of advantages?? For example: An upside of living in Kyiv(I’m from Kyiv) is you get to visit many interesting places.Right?
