Joe asked, "What is everyone doing on Friday?"
His birthday is in October in the fall.
My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
She's English but she speaks French perfectly.

Just watching the "Improve your transcription skills" playlist, and taking notes of everything.
wanted to thank you for making great content, and I hope you make some videos about IELTS.
I believe you are THE BEST ENGLISH TUTOR EVER.

You're so great, thank you so much. I learn my English only in High school. After that by watching movies helped me a lot. But grammar and many knowledge left behind, I'm trying to be a transcriptionist. But my English knowledge is way too far from it. I hope it's getting better with your lessons.
