When people copy you, it means you are a baddass at what you do, because it shows you have more creativity!! They might have a bigger number of followers, but that doesn't mean they're better. This is the main reason I keep watching your videos and not theirs. You're never boring ❤️

[pourlavenir]

It’s the second video I’m watching and what I’ve most loved is that you don’t only teach English, you’re carefully showing us how to express ourselves in a better way. That’s amazing! You’re helping me very much to improve my understanding about English! Thank you very much🙂
