Hello there. I have read in a grammar book I purchased that subjunctive mood should be used in condition of uncertainty. Example. If she have the money, she will make it in the city.
I used to use has for the third person. I would like to clarify this, because there are some English novels which use has instead of have. :)

raff

SHE HAS is referring to the third person singular.

ycon1x

But what I’m referring to is “the subjunctive mood” being used in condition of uncertainty. I.E. “If she be kind, I’ll like her”

rjmanla

all third person, is singular.

Thank you, James, for the lesson!

I went through the first, and the third parts: I started with kids’ animated series like X-men and Spider-man. And I love watching American action movies. Yes, they are stupid; I learned basic (swear) vocabulary from them. I didn’t go through the second part (watching comedies) because I didn’t like comedies.

mdat

Hi James!
Can one say, on the basis of your video, that the most important key to reach success listening skills – is a grueling auding practice and the rest just tips? But correct tips of course which I’ll hold with.

siawa

thanks soo much…excellent tips…very helpful and funny lesson…thanks again

argenis

thank you

shanefurjani

Hey James, who wrote the subtitles?! They are horrible… It is really better to switch them OFF in this Video ;)

Stefan

You can always switch them off. What do you find horrible about them, though?

engVid

You should insert a special question at this quiz beginning.
Something like “How to disable or enable subtitles on EngVid’s videos?”.
This should enforce everybody taking this quiz to find out that inconspicuous Youtube’s sleeping robot icon.
And then, when another student will send his/her negative opinion about your amazing subtitles, he/she will be heaped up with comments of those who passed this quiz.
And they’ll save moderator’s time and force ;)

dzung

Someday I’ll get my Frequently Asked Questions page and I can just direct people there. But that’s a pretty good idea in the meanwhile :)

engVid Moderator

I think the easiest way to give birth to any FAQ is to open a thread about it in a forum, where people will be able to add their questions and answers and you can collect them at the first post.
So you just need to add a forum and add such topic to it.
And then, you can write the “How to Write a Comprehensive FAQ” lesson and get additional Qs and As from its comments ;)
And if you’ll open the forum, please, add “Your Wishes” topic to it, where i can gingerly ask you to add a possibility to mark lessons with my personal “seen/important/should see again” flag, and add the ability to the search engine to select marked or, what’s more important, unmarked videos.
Am I annoying you? No? You sure?

dzung

Haha. Maybe.

Hi James..Thx :)

asmae

great tips !

yeencrocus

thks for the lesson James. U’re so funny with body gesture and easy explanation in your speech. It helps us understand well. But i’ve got an idea. u said we should write all thing we hear while listening to focus and create a pressure for our sense. However, writing speed is always lower than hearing. I often tell my students that u should try to remember what u hear in ur mind and try to quick translating into ur own languague for easy remember. is there anything wrong in my way???

oxheoto

hay james i wanna thank you for your effort you exert and your different style which i find it more useful , and i wish Allah bless you.

anikas

Dear James:

I always enjoy watching your valuable lessons. Both students and teachers find something useful to learn from them.

What I would like to add to what you said is that whenever a foreign language is learned, it is imperative that the student get to know the sounds of it. As an ESL teacher for Hispanics, I believe that unless I take some time to teach my students the English sounds, they will not even understand native speakers; as a matter of fact, I teach them one or two sounds per class. Moreover, colloquialisms are to be learned as well; for instance, students have to know about such a thing as “gonna” and “wanna”, not just “going to” and want to”

As with most any language, one does not pronounce every single word separately; some words actually join together producing a sound that is not present in any of the words in question otherwise. For instance, in her song “Can’t Fight The Moonlight”, Leann Rimes sings:

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can’t fight the moonlight
(To watch it on You Tube, please click on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjMGtb3MDWo)

After listening to that song, the average non-native speaker will ask “What’s that cha, cha cha?” That is why, it is very important for any ESL student to learn English sounds, just as he or she learns vocabulary and grammar. For Hispanics, it might even be crucial, given that Spanish has very soft consonants and very well pronounced vowels, unlike English that has consonants that are pretty strong and vowels that are not necessarily well pronounced. In other words, it could be said that English is the opposite of Spanish. I should know since I was born in Argentina, and I started learning English when I was only seven years old.

If you believe that sounds of speech are beside the point, as far as listening comprehension is concerned, please let me know. In the meantime, however, this is what I have come to see from my experience in language learning and teaching.

I certainly appreciate your having taken your valuable time to read my comment. For anything you might like to ask or say about what I state here, feel free to call me at (845) 245-8935 (NY, USA) or try e-mailing me at ehs24961@gmail.com. Actually, anyone wishing to contact me privately is quite welcome to do so using the information just given.

Sincerely,

Ernesto Simon

Taking the test right after is very helpful and encouraging when I take a test these next two week. Just wondering how to keep all that information for 2 weeks and than take a test of 40 questions that are timed, open-book. I still have not passed yet.
Any suggestion would be so helpful

ccarmosilva

hello Mr james
i’m thankful for these lessons
actually. you’re a wise man in an inexplicable way.
james i wonder if a native english speaker use old english pronouns such as *thee* and *ye* ….
because when i read the bible in english i found these words intensifily but when i watch films i don’t hear these world except the * yo * that blackmen in the USA use.
please don’t ignore my question

williameddey

oh I’m sorry i mean words

williameddey

That is a very good question!

(First, a note: the old-fashioned language in many English Bibles is actually modern English! Modern English goes back about 400 years. This page with the Lord’s Prayer in different stages of English shows you how much the language has changed.)

The pronouns you asked about are no longer used in ordinary English, but they have counterparts in related languages. “Ye” used to be the second person plural pronoun. If you were speaking to just one person, you could say “you”, but for a group of people, you would use “ye”. Now we use “you” in both cases.

As for “thee/thou”: in French there are two ways of saying “you”, tu and vous. Vous is the second person plural pronoun, but it is also used as a singular pronoun that is more formal and polite than “tu”. You would call your friends and family members “tu”, but you would call a customer or a respected elder “vous”.

So “thee” and “thou” were the English versions of “tu” and “toi”. Here’s a chart with the declension of all the pronouns. Now we use “you” for everything — second person singular, second person plural, intimate vs. formal “you”. When people want to sound old-fashioned they will say “thee” and “thou”, but because they haven’t been used for hundreds of years, they often use them incorrectly!

P. S. If you want a more modern English Bible, try looking up the New International Version or the Revised Standard Version. They are newer translations that are used very widely because English speakers find them easier to understand.

hmm great i see that you can speak french perfectly
i’m very thankful for your answer

williameddey

Hi James. Thank you for your help. You are perfect and I like your lessons

moonkashka

happy new year.I wish you success.

moonkashka

Hi, James! I have not enough words to say how thankful to you for all your hard work. Your entertaining way of teaching with many tricks not only inspire me to do my best in english but first of all sat up a direct link between the speech knowledge as it is and my native experience in my subconscious. Some teachers teach some skills but it doesn’t always gives us a freedom to express ourselves. But you gave me the keys from all door and opened them for me! I’m talking seriously. You’re very musician and artistic. So, I enjoy watching all your videos many times to get better how easy and simple you speak. Don’t worry you speak not so fast, but at least for me this is the only way to improve my English. It’s easy to understand what you speak and what for it is. I’m become your fan from the first word! God bless you and all your collegues! You do a very important and wonderful job for everybody around the world! So,please keep going doing that and don’t freeze in this unusial winter.
From Russia with love and respect to you and to everyone from EngVid! Cheers!

Andrey Panin

Thank you James! Just one thing: for latin- language speackers the words you define “difficolt” are actually the easiest, because they all come from latin ( or greek ), so they are more less the same in our languages…
The hardest for us are frasal verbs, idyomatic sentences and so on, and action movies are full of these expressions! So I think I will start with dramas :-)

At the end of class, James said: ” Don’t believe me, just try it”. Well, I tried and this worked a lot. But If you wanna mix up at all, listening and speaking skills, I would like to share another tip that I got and works as well. Buy credits on Skype or whatever you want and then call to foreign country to get informations such as sightseeing, or english courses. At the fist moment it looks stupid perhaps, but the world is your limit. You might call to Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand, etc. You will try several accents, and have fun with them. Thanks James!!!

Hello James! Thank you for your help. I have read some comments here and it is so great to see how many people expressed their very good advantages and progresses what they got from you. I think these people are very good and valuable as you are. Just good to know there are a lot of good people all around the world. The communication itself is the most important part of the life and you inspire and help us to start it and do it and do it better and better. This is what a good teacher does and you do. Thank you. John

CAVS

Hi James. I’ve got your tips how to understand English speech in movies and try to follow them.These tips are very usefull and they helped me a lot. But I still have one problem: while watching movies or tv series, sometimes it rather difficult for me to distinguish some of proper nouns from just unknown words.Subs only help me to figure it out. Are there any tips to avoid using subs in the case?

mapel

GizemBayraktar

This information is very helpful

Thanks a lot

sergio antonio martinez

this information is great. you mentioned in one of yor video that if we want speak any language we should not start by learning about product. should we focus on one subject for instance, if I want to learn about animals should I juststick to everything about aanimal before I move to something else. I just need more clarification. thank you very much

James, you’re an amazing teacher. I really like your classe and the themes.

Maitê dos Santos Pimentel

Hello James!

At last, I could find the first video I have seen in Engvid. I was looking for English lessons on Youtube and I found this video about 2 years ago, I think. By the time, I didn’t leave any comment, because I hadn’t subscribed this website yet. However, “better late than never”.

I am so glad for finding Engvid, because it is a very effective and amusing way to improve my English. I am much more confident now and I love watching your videos.

And you, James, are one of my favourite teachers here. Thank you so much. I have noticed this video is one of the most seen on Youtube in its category. Good job, man! You deserve it!

Keep on making these cool lessons please.

Greetings from Brazil!

Eduardo França

Hi James, thanks a lot. I’ll try it.
Reading what Maite wrote and said about you as an amazing teacher, I agree with her.
So, may I ask you for some help with my listening?
I have not listened to the contractions, like as I’ve, We’d and so on. How can I fix it? Please What I could do? Grammar, grammar and more grammar?

For everything learned with you
May God bless you
Regards
Lydia

Hi James!
Your video is very useful.
My level of English is just pre-intermediate but I have understand your lesson no bad.
Thank you

Antey

Very entertained but a little difficult to understand, I think these 4 advises are more deeply than formerly, I suppose everyone follows these rules chucking them because it’s difficult to maintain all of them without failing some of them. We get the information throughout times, dates, numbers, names and addresses but not always is possible although we look for feedback. Thanks a lot, teacher James, and finally we are learning English listening and watching movements of our teacher, as always very interesting performance.

angardiobel

James, you are one of my favorite teachers here, and I appreciate this class. Thank you!

Kari

In don’t really understand how to put in practice no 2 “Ask questions”. Take notes while listening? But this distracts too much. Could anybody explain me how and when I take these junks?
Apart from this lack of clarity the video is great as usual, I am a great fan of this teacher. I wish I had had such a teacher when I attended english classes.
