Hi Jennifer, your passion for teaching us is immeasurable. If only there were more teachers like you among relentless students, learning English wouldn't be as difficult as it is at advanced levels. Sometimes it's rather disappointing and ends up being a waste of time. Fortunately, you're there, just one in a million!

[Hikmetkarademir]

Hallo Jennifer, thank you very much for all effort, .
I realized it from the first day I found your channel on Youtube that you are a professionelle.
From composition of texts, words chosen, intonation, pronuanciation and the order in which the Videos published...

[anv.]

Thank you, dear Jennifer, I am so happy to have your lessons.

[alexanderpadalka]

[armandobruguera]

This one is hard to me, but I look forward to reading my friends' opinions. As always, you did a brilliant job, Jenny! Love ya! ♡♡♡♡♡

I would very much like the way Jennifer teaches us all about English. I wanna thank her for this.
And yes, Aliens need to be understood and researched from a perspective that is more human and compassionate. I mean can't we imagine the benefits humans could reap once we decide to be their friends and not adversaries . Let's all plege to work for a planet that's all- inclusive and all- accommodating.

[EmmasEasyEnglish]

Great explanation of some of the finer nuances of the English language!

[jalilboyca]

Thanks so much Jennifer for this lesson. Is very useful

[faizanzama]

Thank you so much my Teacher Jennifer,

Hi Jennifer. Thanks again for your remarkable lesson.Regarding the task, this is my opinion: If alien technology allowed us the use of free energy, the governments would have to work together in order to balance the economic implications in the different countries around the planet. Obviously, the oil-producing countries would be affected by this knowledge. On the other hand, this new resource would permit the possibility of helping many people in remote areas.

Many thanks from Yemen, I like ur lessons very much, please go on

The word 'so' is a common discourse marker, as is 'now, ' 'okay' and 'right.'

Used in speech and not in formal written communication.

So, let's watch this excellent lesson, folks.
Now, we need to listen closely, everyone.
Okay, let's get to work,
Right, if you would like to get your English books out.

I put a comma after the discourse marker as it is not essential to the sentence, and a slight pause always follows it. Would you concur, Jennifer?

[aparecidoferreiravais]

Hi Jennifer how are you
Thank you for your effort in teaching us how to speak English. You're fantastic. Have a beautiful Friday.

[raed]

Hi Jennifer. This is quite a challenging topic.

Here's my answer to the task:

• Indeed, we should make use of it. Especially if they were unlimited, pollution-free and no-cost energy sources. However, it is thought that some governments and other interst groups like fuel companies will try to suppress and dominate those energy sources in order to keep their businesses flourishing.

The best English Teacher I've ever met

[JosephLDubon]

This one it was hard for me too, but I think I learned something new today ... : )
!!Sincerely thanks again¡¡ .. : )

[fazilpeerally]

Dear Teacher JenniferESL,

This is quite a challenging topic. I can`t thank you enough for such a video lesson. It is educational and instructional. I really appreciate it.

I hope you don`t mind my asking, but would it be at all possible for you to make a video lesson about the usage and meaning of the word " as ". It may introduce adverbial clauses of manner, of degree, of comparison, of reason, of time, and adjectival clauses. in some cases, it operates alone as a conjunction.. I would be so much grateful. I have faith in you.

As always, thank you for all your help in providing us with good video lesson.

Have a lovely weekend !

Regards,
Fazil

Dear Teacher,
I would like to know what do you mean by national security?

[mollietai]

Formal:
I would very much like to hear your thoughts regarding free energy. Would you care to share your opinion?
Informal:
So I want to hear what you think about free energy. You got any thoughts on that?
