I've been learning English for almost 7 years now and this is the first time I've heard such a revealing insight about how a language operates under biological components we do almost everyday but we usually ignore since they're learned reactions that don't require much thinking whatsoever. This video could literally be the origin of a brand new English teaching method, you should definitely dive deep down in it much more

[SamuelSantosSilvaSantos]

Thank you very much, Thiago, for sendind this amazing lesson to me, I really appreciate that. Education is the key to change bad situatons, in my opinion, and you are doing a great job teaching us this wonderful language, you rock, man!! Take care!

[kurkspetterson]

thanks, Thiago it was fantastic instructions to help us

[Davi_Cosmo]

One of the best English classes i've ever seen honestly. This is fantastic!

In Spanish, we have a lot of similar idioms, so it's easier for us to figure out how those sentences work that's a great "gift, " tbh, but thanks, Thiago, you're an amazing teacher, and I always learn something new with our videos.

[SalmanAhmed-cddm]

Amazing lesson, my man! Really liked it. Keep it going. We are learning a lot from you.

Hi Thiago,

I have a question for you. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer it, but I don’t lose anything by trying. I’m a B1 English learner, and I want to know how I can improve my English. I’ve been trying listening to podcasts, watching media, movies, and series in English. Not only that, but I also studied and memorized some words that are helpful, but I stopped doing that recently. And now, I'm feeling stuck.

You are the best teacher, thanks a lot Thiago 🙏💫☘️
