An absolutly great lesson! I've already learned some of them in our Speak-Up lesson, so it was also a good review. As you know, linking is one of the most challenging parts of English learning for me, but I'll keep practicing, because I really believe my comprehenshion skill will improve this way.

Hi, everyone. I've been watching these videos lately and I'm happy for that because I'm learning more. Thanks a million. The C2 phrase (at the end of your rope) doesn't have any possessive pronouns but possessive adjectives. I'm just trying to help.
