This is just the channel what I have really wanted to watch so far. I am so~~~ happy to have find your vedios that would be really helpful for both intermediate and advanced English learners. I just started watching some of your videos and the good thing is they are all dealing with really various expressions and detailed situations. I have been struggling to look for good ones like yours, but it's not easy. This is the first time to leave a comment on YouTube. Thank you so so much. Keep up the good work 😊 !
