I appreciate your ability to become a learner as a teacher when you teach us new things about using English in different situations. Thank you 💛

In Brazil, before asking for directions, you have to say "Hi! Excuse me. Good morning/afternoon/evening. Sorry to interrupt (whatever you're doing). Can you tell me...?" The most important is "good morning/afternoon/evening" before anything. Hahaha! I hate this. Nobody is wishing you any good part of the day. it's just a formula to show how polite you are. Of course there are exceptions to everything. Great lesson. You said it's for beginners, but sometimes we're so focused on advanced vocab and skip very useful information. Thank you! (Watching at 2x)
