Hello sir, in the part 34:41, "How does this affect learning English?"
I think it is an example of reduced present participle clause.
So what will be the full clause for this sentence? These could be possible, but I am not sure.
1) How does this affect while you are/ someone is learning English?
2) How does this affect by learning English?
Can the infinitive 'To' be used instead of 'ing'?
How does this affect to learn English?

How can I start writing academic papers as a masters student of English language?

Yesterday's class was fantastic. And the most exciting part for me is that when you bring your books and read them to us, especially the story, I love hearing stories, I'm quite interested in them. Please read more, teacher Rich! Thank you so much! ✨️🙏🫠😊❤
Have a lovely day.
