I did it already and...here I am again 😁, this is a great course, giving you a lifetime and efficient methodology to learn and easily grab and master new words every week.

It's been a while since I watched a video from your channel and I'm really surprised to see you back bringing us a new way to understand how it feels when we are fluent in English and the constant need to enhance our English vocabulary more and more so that we can express ourselves more confidently.

Hi Stefanie,
Thanks a million for your effort in preparing videos, it's really more useful and updates my way to improve the language.

[mattajavid]

Maam you are a very nice teacher and human being.I have been watching your videos for years.

[sneydergomez]

I'm so happy that you came back on YouTube, I've been following all your videos through the years and thanks to you now I can say that I understand English and I'm able to express myself of course I keep making mistakes sometimes, but you know what... It's okay now I understand that I need to make mistakes in order to improve. By the way, probably I made some mistakes so it would be great if you tell me what I'm doing wrong at least in this "paragraph".

GOAT of all the english coaches out there on YouTube! Just so disappointed I missed the live but now I am definitely going to enjoy this new video! When it came or still comes to learn english I have always used a "Jeet kune do" kind of approach; everything is useful and helpful: listening, reading, speaking (even alone in front of a mirror), writing, mocking people while talking on tv shows etc etc, singing out loud, tongue twisters, writing sentences with new vocabulary and get images stamped in my mind (even if apparently they make no sense)...sometimes while speaking it is easier for me to get the right word/vocabulary in english rather than in my native language just becuase I have it memorized with a clearer image! Keep up the great job 4ever! Greetings from Italy!!

I really understand your feelings about the Spanish language, we as English learners have to go throughout the same path all day long, but there are a lot of people who are kind enough give us the opportunity to improve our language skills.

[Ramonaelizabeth]

I love listening to you. Spanish is my native language, but I’ve lived in the USA 21 yrs and continue to work on higher vocabulary. Thank you for being here for us!

[yuriimarshalofficial]

Hello Stefanie, thanks, you make my ability to speak English much stronger, with more confident. I feel like you’re completely different of people I know and that’s weird because I like the style you teach and how you’re good for me 🫶🏻🌞 (greetings from Ukraine)

[enriquegonzalez]

It is a highly illustrative video on how we should learn any language, not just the English. You're doing an exceptional job. I pray to God that some day I may enroll.

[pai]

Thank you for sharing standing with the fact you bring me hope.

[MuhammadHussain-tvgd]

Stefanie everything you are saying is relatable ❤ Thanks for telling your personal story.

[nelsonortiz]

I love the part about methodology! You explained that the spider net is connected to our brain and how we learn. And how to hunt the words that are relevant to us and our lives. I really like how you were able to explain because I have studied a lot, and I believe that the way we learn or the methodology we use can help us accelerate the way we learn English. For instance, what matters to me as a father is to say something to my teenagers, like have you done your homework yet, in Spanish I use to recall them that they must do their assignments, then doing Duolingo I found a fixed expression that was suitable for me as a father. Another thing that I found was: No one is going to have lunch/dinner unless you and your sister set the table! Here I understood why these phrases I remember the others don't. It's because they are connected to my daily routine. Thank you, Teacher! Great job!

[carl_anderson]

I’m grateful that you acknowledged that non English speakers get the harder side of life when it comes to learning English to keep our jobs. Indeed, we cannot just say “I’m not gonna do this”, he HAVE to. I love your content. You’re awesome.
