Every word is useful it just depends in what context it's best used. Surely expanding vocabulary is more helpful than reducing it

I dont know how I've managed for 83 years without this if we take her advice, we wont be able to understand anybody !!

Miss Forrest, i believe that "try" shows the humbleness of the the person who said that, but he/she means a commitment too.

[marthathompson]

Wrong is a good word to use. It’s simple and accurate. It’s important not to say it in a mean way, but saying it is incorrect is just as negative and basically identical in impact and meaning. Using the word actually to correct someone can sound condescending, too. If you want to soften your correction, you can say something like “are you sure? I’m pretty sure it’s XYZ.”

Really really interesting. So good in fact, I'm gonna try enjoying a few more of these. I may be wrong, but I might not have enough time. We shall see.

[teacheremer]

I like to say the word "try" is okay to describe the past, because even in Portuguese, some people don´t like to use it ; so, in case you say "will' or "commit to" but, despite your effort, you don´t achieve what you wanted, you can use "i tried" . :D

Thanks a whole lot from Russian ESL students!

Keep up the awesome work!


We'd really appreciate it if you could you upload more videos presenting US idioms and slang expressions so that we could start communicating with native American speakers on an entirely different level.

Also we'd like to see videos on your great channel featuring samples of job interviews, which is extremely critical for newly arrived immigrants as well as people coming to the US to work for a period of time stipulated in the contract.

We are especially interested in customs and traditions a typical American citizen is trying to follow.

Those of us who are planning to get into a romantic relationship with Americans would like to get a better idea about personality traits of an average man or woman born and raised in the US.

You're the best!
We love you!

Jennifer. You are amazing. You speak fast, but I still understand every word you say. I started learning English very late and I am not good at speaking and understanding spoken language. But I understand you perfectly.

[santospanha]

"Thanks for the advices you recommended us! I shall try to improve my English so that native persons don't think I'm wrong" ... just kidding! Thanks for the incredible pieces of advice! Your lessons always help me notice specific subtleties in order to keep improving my skills. I'm committed to polishing my English!

I learned so much today. More, more, more, please, dear teacher.

Regarding mistake number 5: recommend. I would suggest learning it as: recommend to, as one phrase. Also, when English learners say: I recommend you...., I think that mistake comes from seeing sentences like this: I recommend you do this, and they think that "you" belongs to recommend, but instead it belongs to "you do this" and it is really short for "I recommend that you do this..."

[hannofranz]

I completely get the idea behind your message of removing words from learner's vocab. Even though, I think that each word has it's own purpose. There is nothing to object to saying: "I think you should try harder" for considering try a word to avoid. Expanding on vocab doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with avoiding words. That's why I don't like the message "Dont say ...!"

[nabilznagui]

I'm committed to remove many words from my vocabulary, I will say advice, delightful, More and more💯

[cactus]

Hello, Jennifer.😊 Those are great pieces of advice. I'll keep them in mind: especially I'll replace 'really + adjective' with another one. I'm sure this lesson will help us sound more natural. WHOO HOO❗🥳More, More, More❗Thank you for your original lesson！👏 I love it.🥰

[minjeongahn]

I'm committed to listening your lesson everyday ❤

[fredylopez]

Well, to me, "try" isn't a negative word, it means that you're gonna do your best to make it because you ain't perfect if you were perfect then you'd say "I will".

[abdullahghafari]

Thanks a lot Jennifer for your hard work
