I am subscribed to 2000 English learning YouTube channels. She is the best . #1. I’m Not kidding. She doesn’t play games. She makes a video to teach real things instead of those catchy trendy English Chanel’s videos that all they are interested in is in more subscribers. Thanks teacher. Don’t give up. People will be discovering you soon after your channel YouTube algorithms start being recognized. You deserve subscribers.

My favorite sport is soccer. I used to play it when I was young, but since I am older now, I just enjoy watching games (matches) on tv.
I like watching European tournaments, because the European soccer clubs are very high level, and many of their players are the best in the world.

Its one of the most fastest growing sport still its not popular with young people yet .

Despite its growing popularity, its not an Olympic sport yet but still I do think it would be soon.

Are those fine mam

Thanks teacher for this great lesson and I also have some difficulty about the verb “help”, I know that we can use infinitive with or without to after help but I wonder if we could use gerund after that verb too? Could you please explain a bit regarding this? And if we can use gerund after that does it have a different meaning than help plus infinitive ? Thank you so much.

in my exams this sentence was given to correct, ' my favourite pizza topping is mushrooms they are really tasty i also like pizza with olives' and i corrected it this way "My favourite pizza topping is mushrooms. They are really tasty. I also lilke pizza with olives." how is my correction ? some students are saying i should have put semi colon after 'mushrooms'. i need your thoughts

[abulkasemmd.mostafa]

Is the sentence is wrong:
Despite its growing popularity, it's not an Olympic sport yet.
