I have been watching movies since long in order to understand and intercept the sounds that come out from these movie characters. I left no channels and teachers here on YouTube to seek their guidance. By the time, I’ve showed much improvement but still there were questions in my mind that how they join sentences and speak so quickly without getting words stuck in their mouth. Now, finally I got my answer when I watched your video that it was not a rocket science. It was only due to not having an accomplished and capable teacher like you. By the way, thanks for this wonderful video.

I felt embarrassed to see a comment where somebody who works for helping us improve our English is mentioned and compared. I think a good and honest comment is enough to compliment somebody we think does a good job. It's not necessary to compare that person to anyone, and the worst thing done is mention the name of the other person. Ms. Rhodes I love your videos since I discovered your channel. They are very helpful. I appreciate your effort to help us learn English better and sound more natural.
