Man you’re definitely a good teacher, it’s incredible how can I understand every single word that you say, and how can I get clearly all of your points of view. Thank you for being so kind and supportive with English students ❤👏🏾👏🏾☕️

You must be the most empathic and understanding teacher out there. I am a teacher myself and I use--and share--your videos with all my students, especially the ones in intermediate levels. THANKS for your wonderful job. ❣

This happens even in my native language. It is good to be aware of this as well.

I really appreciate the whole video, but at 10:15 there is a powerful flash:

"Remember: real communication happens in context, not in textbooks"

Thank you very much!

[PascaleLaurent]

The best way to remember words is context. I ❤dictionaries with added contexts in the definition of each word. When you don’t remember a word, go around it with context as Christian mentions. I do it often even in my native tongue. Don’t be ashamed of not knowing or remembering, it happens to all of us even native speakers.

Market = a place to buy things or stuff, bone = a hard stick or thing in your body / leg / arm, afraid = fear, i don't like, i feel unhappy etc, share= give smth, snow = white stuff falling from the sky, farm = a place where animals, pigs and cows live, mountain= a high place, piece of ground, gold = metal of my ring, coat = jacket, warm clothes for outside, heavy= not light, difficult to move, to lift. It seems I use this tricks all the time. Thank you ❤

In fact, I know a lot of YouTube channels that learn English. A lot of people that are be able to learn it, but I have no words to describe this guy. Chris you are the best. You rock.

It's so simple, because after all, we all do it very often in our native language. But still, it's a brilliant observation! Thanks a lot for these useful tips!

I used to work on a Criuse Ship and all those things are true!! Gestures, face expressions, tone of you voice... all that stuff comunicates sometimes more than words! My turn around word would be something like this:
Market - that place to buy and sell things
Bone - the structure of you body… like… your teeth is a(…)
Afraid - insecure, with fear
Snow - that white flake
Farm - big green place with animals
Mountain - big huge rock
Gold - yellow metal rich people can afford
Coat - jacket for cold days
Heavy - hard to lift
