Basic rules to improve your spelling

Excellent Class! Helped me so much!

Thanks Teacher James, You’re my favorite teacher from Engvid.

Also, thanks to Mr.E … It always makes me laugh.

arthyoak

James’ good sense of humour is an excellent ingredient in his video lessons. He always makes me laugh too.

Regino

Yep! I agree with you James; spelling is a real problem for students of English. The reason, English is not a phonetic language.

Interesting tips for overcoming spelling problems.

Regards

Regino

for us it´s hard make a word who end in vowel sound silent, like these words: wipe, rate and many other this kind

grazisil13

Native Spanish speakers have the same problem.

Regino

oh realy

Ayesha ahmad

sfmichelini

Adhem

My score was perfect!! When I was younger, I had joined “Spelling Bee” contest at an English conversation school.
It brings me back. I loved the contest. It was fun and exciting :) Thank you for your great lesson, James and Mr. E :)

I don’t understand why some people likes to play spelling games. I don’t even treat it as a game.

tanx James great explanation

Emily1973

i’ve never enjoyed your lesson….very very difficult to understand.

Rasho

Brother, try again

contact.fahim

Try again. His lectures are by far the easiest to understand. Moreso, he makes it more interesting with the humor.

James what the correct word ? Rated or ratted.

Ali--1290@outlook.com

Thank you Mr. James, thank you for your great lessons, I have learned a lot.

Phoenix

James what is the correct word ? Rated or ratted.

Ali--1290@outlook.com

Both are correct. Rated comes from rate, and ratted comes from rat.

bcchagas

Just awesome…
Thanks James……

mahmudhimu

Very useful and clear lesson. I liked that story about short man :) – I’ll keep this in mind! I got 10/10. I would like more lessons about this topic. Thanks a lot.
Good wishes from Lithuania!

rucike82

The dictionary says that there is no such word as “whiped”, so the right spelling in the question 4 must be: “whipped cream”.

Tinve

thank for your lesson. it’s useful for me, what i need :D

huynhkimvu

What does this Spelling 101 means? Is it like reference to S01E01 and means it an introduction to something / first lecture?

halikenator

Hi James thanks very much for the lesson really enjoyed it. I’m actually quite good at spelling but the bad thing is don’t know the meaning is there any way to memorize the meanings better?

Actually forgot to tell that I used to live in Zambia for 9 years so I’m used to English just that the meanings.
Many Thanks!

loppolli

Hi James. I really like your teaching demonstration. It is helpful for me and others. It would be much better if you kept things on the board visible. I have hoped that you will continue your great job with something new.

Best wishes!

KONG Veasna

TheTVC

I got 90 out of 100, you!The TVC might not need to surf on this lesson because you were in the US. You practice the language everyday in life.

saaduddin

9/10 – I hope not to be whipped mercilessly till I get 100% because on the 4th I did it wrong!

Jorge Pedroso

Thank you so much… clear and easy…. We need this kind of lessons so much. These words are simple. we need to learn how to spell complicated words like Psychiatrist!!!

fatimahAM

Ho Tri Thuc

james you are so inelegant ,thank you i understood the lesson very well

mohamed abd-elrhman

Yesterday I answered the quiz after listen the lesson. But little after I thought this is a very important matter and you know what?! Today I repeated the lesson and the truth is in fact this is a very very important lesson, till today, nobody gave me an explanation like that, when the subject is double the consonant letter. For me since the beginning of the EngVid this was the most important lesson, I ever had. THANK YOU EngVid.

Jorge Pedroso

thank you, this is easy method to teaching beginners

ANDRE ALBUQUERQUE

Thanks for the explanation, I was a little confused but now I got it, You are very clear.

Ramon Chazulle

That was awesomesauce!!.. Wow.. I am utterly impressed! I always ask myself how to pronoun or write down any word. Now you made yourself so clearly

ivonne villegas

awesomesauce that’s a new word to me too, but I learn that just now which is more than the awesome meaning word. i think you don’t need this tutorials because you already in the US and you speak the language in your life there, have a good day.

saaduddin

100 out of 100)))) yeahhhhhhhhh

Akylbekzone

What happened between the two cats..? Ummmmm…:)

byte

Thank you.
Can you prepare similar lessons about a punctuation? Frequently, I have doubts about double letters (SS, LL, FF) in many English words. I just have a tendency to forgetting if words have e.g. double s or not. I hope that you know a solution of this problem.
Sometimes, that are differences between British, and American versions of English (double or single l in words), but it is not always easy to remember all the rules.

gbudny

thank you first test for me i wos 80/100
