The best thing of these videos made by James is, you can use them to learn any language you want.

This lesson is all encompassing and the understanding of it can be used to learn every other language! Thumbs up teacher James.

I started to really read English books about one and a half year ago, when I got series of three books for christmas. It was realtivly esay American English ( Magnus Chase by Ricl Riordan) Fantasy series and I too had read it before. Got through this and went on to a five book series by the same author, but this time in audiobook form on YouTube ( I had no money for five books). After finishing this I paused reading in English. Untill fall. Thats when I discoverd a audiobook of the Hobbit for free. And I thought back to one person who was very good in English but wouldn't read Tolkien because of his old fashioned, unusual writing style.
However I finished the Hobbit with no problem and went straight to Lord Of The Rings, which was a bit more challanging but ok in reading difficulty.
The I stumbled across a book called the Silmarillion in a book shop in England. I went a bit nuts, bought it and then realised that it was apparently on the reading level of Moby Dick.
I decided to get through anyway and I finished it with the help of a podcast in 14 days.
I am now also at a level of understanding English that I can read/ listen to books by Jack London ( eg.: eople of the Abyss).
I went from thinking that to shrugg is a synonym to to nod to my English teacher telling me that I have a deep knowlege of the English grammat and that I have rich vocabular. A huge huge part is because I read and listen to so much different books, but also movies, videos of any kind etc etc.

Hey James.
Thx for all that contend of yours. It's really helpful. I personally used your videos to learn Dutch, which I stated one and a half years ago. I'm in the process of doing my state exams in Dutch to get started for the university.
Your videos really helped me to access a new level of englisch as well as a new language.
I'm far of calling myself being done with english or Dutch, but it's a starting point in both.
Thank you and have a nice day :)
