y er right

Rohit kharya

thank you rebecca . it’s a good one . very short but effective.can you please tell us the meaning of those words which you are using in your conversation or writing on the board in your lesson like recruitment .and please conduct a lesson on vocabulary of english language . you really teach that well.

abbas

To recruit someone means to hire someone, to give that person a job.

Hope that helps! All the best to you.

Rebecca

Hello. I have to ask a question. Why can not I watch none of all the videos? If you reply my question, I’ll be content. Thanks already.

ugur10

YouTube is probably blocked in your country.

I had the same problem, now I am using Google Crome, it’s working ok. I recommend that you should change your browser.

Canhthin

First of all thanks for your lesson!
I’ve got a doubt:
I use responsible to when I refer to sb in a senior position.
If I’m the senior person, can I say:
I’m responsible for the junior employees/ for the junior staff…?
Thanks
=-)

Claudia

Yes, you can say that too.

My best wishes to you, Claudia.

Rebecca

Happy New Year for you and your colleages, your videos are very good and I’m improving my english.
Can you explain me what is the best way to use, to talk, to say and to speak?
Thanks a lot

HELLO, TEACHER, I AM ABDUL MALIK FROM AFGHANISTAN IT’S VERY USEFUL LESSON FOR ME. IT IS A SLIGHT BUT MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SENTENCES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING ME . BYE FOR NOW

abdul malik

Hi teacher

I got 6 corrects out of 6 quizzes, but i am just thinking… Cant we use “on” or “with” after “I’m responsible”?

Thanks for the lesson
best wishes
Ruwan

amarakoonge

Good job on the quiz!

No, you cannot say “responsible on” or “responsible with”.

My best wishes to you too, Ruwan.

Rebecca

Hello there, thank you for the nice work you always do concerning English. I’d like to know whether ‘responsible for’ is similar to ‘be in charge of’ and thank you.

Salim

thank you teacher

Thank you for writing. I wish you all the best!

Rebecca

thank you!great job!tested myself!

Maral Kuzembaeva

Hello,
Thank you and your team for this really usefull, efficient and magnefic lessons.I’ve a request from you.Actually it’s a suggestion…If it will not be a moil for you…If there is another quiz before watching the video to check our level about that subject, we can realize the differences between before and after watching lesson.Furthermore if you can analyz the answers of the first and second quizes, you will be able to observe how your students improve themselves by this lessons….Course if this information is important for your team…. and if you think that it will be leader for your strategies.
Thanks a lot again…

korty

That’s a good idea, korty. I will think about this.

engVid

Yes, that is an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing it with us. My best wishes to you, korty.

Rebecca

Hello Rebecca,
Thank you very much for you lessons!
Could you please explain the difference between complicate and complicated? Which one do we use in a sentence like “It is complecate/complecated”

nataliyaburchevska

“It’s complicated” is the correct choice.

The word “complicate” is a verb.
The word “complicated” is an adjective.

For example,

Don’t complicate your life by going out with your ex-boyfriend.

In the sentence above, the word “complicate” is used as a verb.

My best wishes to you, Natalia.

Rebecca

thanks a lot

thanks God bless you

bellamarjana

thanks alot for teaching.

nazarali

Hi Rebecca,

If I understand well, when I say :
“I am responsible TO Mr John” it means : Mr John is my boss, and my position is under his ?

But, if I am the boss or the manager, can I say :
“Three people are responsible to me” ?

It’s confusing for me, in French it is the opposite …

Antoine

How to download the lessons?

mohammadibrahimkhan

you should set up IDM, you will see the window on the left top of video, click on that. it is very easy.

Canhthin

maybe it is gonna be better if you put the subtitles your videos so who wants to learn english it will be nice :D

onurerol

Appreciated

Rayan Ahmed

Congratulations for your lessons! So, let me see if I understood! I have to say:

I am responsible to Mrs.Elizabeth. She is my boss. She is the USA International Director.
I am responsible for Pedagogy Department. I’m responsible for teaching English.
I have to say like that?
Thank you very much!

It was a great lesson because in Spanish the meaning for the word responsible, changed when it was used with the preposition “to”. Too I’m just looking for someone who can talk English wiht me on Skype in order to practice. Mi e-mail-account is oswaldo [ d o t ] sossa [ a t ]gmail [d o t ] com and “oswaldosossa” on Skype.

Canhthin

Hello.
Thank you for everything, your lessons are terrific, but I have a doubt, can you please explain to me the difference between the word “for” and the word “to”?. Because I’ve always got confused with the use of those.
For example:
– You are everything to me, or
– You are everything for me.

Which one do I have to use?

Best wishes for you and all the envid staff.

Bye.

John
