It’s always a great joy when you upload! English is my first and only language, but I still watch these videos because they’re so funny and I can tell you guys put a lot of effort into them, and occasionally I’ll learn something anyway!

I've got 4/6 right. Wow, that thing about "at/in the end" really got me there, that's impressive how much times I have mistaken about this one!

I do need to concentrate, and I needed your making me smile: I have been so sad these days, since a dear friend of mine ( my age ) died of a heart attack 😢

Vicki is my Mum and Jay is my step-father! I'm so proud of them. I've been using their videos in my classroom for the last 5 years. I also have a channel with another teacher to help English students. If you'd like to see what kind of thing we are doing, please come and check us out! Keep going Mum and Jay...you've inspired me more than you can ever know! <3 <3

[vhaldo]

Hey Vicky and Jay, I can't hardly express my gratitude, your hard work makes me a better English learner, thank you

[englishwithgui]

You're awesome Vicki and Jay!
I don't know if you've ever made a video about that, but there's a topic in English I've ever found a little tricky, since I started studying the language: the order of the adjectives. For example, when you want to describe something and you put a lot of adjectives one next to each other in a sentence, what's exactly the order I should put them? It'll be awesome and very worthwhile for me and a lot of your youtube viewers if you make a video about that.
Thank you so much!
Hugs and kisses from Brazil!
😘
