I always look up to my teacher when it comes to learning english. He is intelligent, highly educated and quite funny as well. Learning English has never been exciting until i found him. His lessons not only live up to my expectations but always beyond that. He is always willing to go the extra miles in order to make us understand the language. He didn’t embarrass to show us his old socks with big holes just to ensure that we understand the words. I have never found so dedicated teacher likes him. He is one in a billion. Thanks Wes. You are the best. Please don’t stop teaching in youtube.

I just joined new job and I'm trying so hard to live up to my boss expectations.

[hasanurrahman]

Many of the phrasal verbs of this lesson were common, but still, a few are new. I would love it.

I really need to get rid of things that would lead me to procrastinate to learn more about English. I should focus on brushing up on my English skills in reading, listening, speaking, and writing with Interactive English. I look up to you Wes for your generosity of sharing your knowledge with us non-native English speakers. Thanks so much! - from Philippines here 🇵🇭

Your charismatic and great personality in conjunction with all of your knowledge reflects back to us your students a sense of confidence and motivational inspiration for us to eagerly learning every and each day more. I hope one day I can speak and write as good and as much grammatically correct as any native do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[marthablissgroup]

Gracias amor lindo. Practiquemos español

[adityavishalsingh]

Your lessons motivate to learn and speak more👏

[sameetramrakhiani]

As always incredible lesson. Thank you for sharing this !

[tutornotepad]

Thanks for the inspiration. I believe that learning foreign languages can add insight. The verbal phrase - to live up to - in Spanish would be - realizarse - to realize yourself or your goals/dreams).

Do you see how this verb- to live up to- would be confusing to a non-native-English learner?

“people need someone to look up to”

from greatest love of all Whitney Houston

[kevinchang]
