This is simply the best YouTube channel to learn English. Congrats from Brazil!

The problem with "Ok" is it gives non-native English speakers the false idea that it is a generic, "one-size-fits-all" term, when in fact it can take on different meanings depending on the context in which it is used, particularly when speaking directly to a native English speaker.
You are an amazing teacher.
Congratulations from Brazil!🇧🇷

It’s not ok to start a lecture without saying “ hi James for ingVid”.
Thanks a lot for your great effort in this video.
Greetings from Iraq Baghdad.

Your "very" video was great. I stopped using the word, "very, " inappropriately.
Back then I would have said your video is very good, now I say it's great.

Thank you for this "okay" video. It's great!

English is my first language and Spanish my second. In Spanish we use the word "ok" a LOT too. Your video challenged me to stop using it when I am speaking Spanish as well as when I am speaking English. This is going to force me to expand my vocabulary in both languages. Thank you!
