I want to thank you for what you do! You must have spent a lot of time looking for all those words in different movies and cutting them. I also like it how you use all the words in a context, and it's really easier to memorize the words you teach that way.
Thank you a lot for the efforts you make to help us get better at English! Keep up the great work!

[moacirfenelongallottimorei]

Your lessons are valuable! It’s so good to see that the world still has so many people doing their best to be helpful!

Hey teacher! I want to say... " thank you for your videos". I really felt very American with these expressions though I'm Colombian. I didn't know these words before. I will share these expressions with my Facebook friends who are learning American English too. English is my favorite language and once again..." Thank you!". YouTube is my English teacher now. I don't need expensive English textbooks nor English tutors; not even expensive academies to learn and to improve my English. The best of all...it's free!

No one wants to lose touch with a wonderful teacher just like you.great video.

[victoriousseraphim]

It's awesome the way you explain things... and what I like about your videos as well is how you add short clips from series, movies so we can actually see and understand the context better. Thanks for taking time to create these videos and the effort you put into them. Keep it up interactive English!!!

Hey I’m from the UK and have friends who are from the United States, and I watch American Content so I’ve always been very interested in American Culture, so your videos are a great source of information! I can do a pretty good American Accent too, I just need to learn various expressions Idioms & slang too so I can ‘get with the Program’. Another one I’ve learned is ‘I got this!’, meaning It I know what I’m doing!’!

[Enriquemba]

Wow, this teacher is so good.
I give him my props.
See you guys.
Warm regards from Mexico.

[abdelhadiseriou]

[ulrikedenis]

Love it! I really like the way everything is explained in detail. I know a lot of Americanisms, but it’s great to learn some more!
