Man, you keep outdoing yourself with every single video you post. I've already detected your frequency of releasing every other day. Monday, Wednesday and Friday so I'm always hoping to listen to more of your trailblazing experiences about the language. Your final catchphrase at the end of them is music for my ears. You're doing God's work with this service you provide to all the non-native speakers around the world who usually see your content. I bet you'll have reached a 100k subscribers before New Year's and I'm proud of having you as my unofficial teacher lol. Hats off man, you rock

[millyzaidan]

I understand 80% of what you say in your classes, teacher! I intend to become a member of your group very soon.

[thaispb]

That was an amazing episode. I've never stopped to think about the difference between an error and a slip. Thanks for clarifying that to us.

[MS.......]

I would like to made mistakes 😅 Sometimes I'm thinking that I'm a huuge mistake😅 I don't understand my boss, they want of me to quickly respond "online" but I don't understand that they talking to me and what 😂 it's hard. It's my first month in this job. We will see. I had to speak up ❤ Thiago. You are amazing. I'm your big fan!

Hello people, how's it going? For that reason is what I say it's difficult maybe not impossible to learn this language at a short time, it's such as you learn your own language again but more difficult because your head is full of differents information in your native language. Don't fear to make mistakes, they are the best teachers, embrace them. Nobody can learn anything without making mistakes. Nice day for everybody. 😊😊

Thank you very much for the video, Thiago, it was very useful for me.

Thank you for providing the lessons which most of us learners are facing with mistakes at the intermediate level. Really effective for those who want to fix it.

[scremin_lh]

Thiago, thank you for all the support!
I'm brazilian too, and it's very difficult to find intermediate and advanced contents for free on the internet...
Your channel it's a masterpiece for us, those who already speak English but still need to improve to achieve the fluency😉😉

[kurkspetterson]

Fantastic and very helpful to have in mind thanks Thiago!

I missed thiago in the other channel i was wondering why he didn't show up anymore so here i' am new follower here ❤

[yohanmarie]

As usual, it's such a very interesting video. You have a knack for teaching English. Everything is clear when it comes to explanations, I love your accent. I wish when I was younger I had a teacher of English like you, man. Thanks so much 🙏🏼 I will listen to this episode again on the podcast. Keep going. I can't wait to watch the next video you will release

[gomanahyazid]

Your episodes always go off the beaten path.

[Crispoeng]

Excellent video, Thiago! By the way I'k it isn't something small and should give you even more work to make it, but I have a suggestion I think would help a lotta people besides me. I think if you put the [Subtitles] directly on YouTube it would make the process of migrating from videos with 'em to without it even easier once we could turn them off to try and get better only listening to your voice, without any aid whatsoever.

I make a lot of mistakes because of fear
