Arvind Sahu

Rebecca, I’m really in love with your way of teaching. Thank you very much for helping all of us with your videos.

This way of teaching something (in my opinion) is the best way of all, because we can catch lots of words in a unique context. It’s a little bit longer than usual, but it’s richer of information. I hope you give us more classes like this one. Thank you very much.
Wenderson (from Brazil).

Wenderson

It was a excellent lesson. You have made me feel very motivated to learn all those new words about catastrophes.
Thank a lots Rebecca

raul

Thanks, Raul. Yes, unfortunately, we have to speak about whatever happens in life – good or bad. Try to write a short summary of what happened, using some of the new vocabulary. That will help you review the words, too. My best to you.

Zahidmmp

I would like how watch the videos in this site I don’t understand

dbmooh

You should see a video at the top of this page, under the menu. If you do not, you need to figure out why you cannot watch YouTube videos. Some countries, schools, and offices block YouTube videos.

engVid

Raulo

Thanks to you too. It is always helpful to get feedback from our students. My best to you, Raulo.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Your lesson was comprehensible. And I found new English Vocabulary.I am in Intermediate Grade but some words are truly difficult and hard to understand like, Calamity, Tragedy, Inundate(flood), destitute, evacuate, etc.But after understanding them they were so easy.The lecture you delivered and the event that you mentioned in this Lecture was really tragic.This happened in Pakistan. The flood is entering in all sea level areas and destroying them. The villages containing crops, trees, rice paddies and farms are all destroyed.I am also living in Pakistan But safe because of highland towns.
Thank you for your lesson.Bye

Eng.pupil

Thank you kindly for your message. I am so sorry about this tragedy in your country and we all hope that more people can be helped as soon as possible. There are so many urgent needs there. Thank you for writing and do take care of yourself.

Rebecca

hi Rebecca! great lesson! ut helped me alot! I just have a quiestion past tense of pledge, it is with ed but has it got a d sound or t sould?
thank you very much in advance.

Constanza

Hi Constanza. That’s a really good question. The past tense, pledged, is pronounced with a muted d sound, but it does sound quite close to the t sound too! You are a very smart student! My best wishes to you, Constanza.

Rebecca

I watched this and I think that is really important to be aware about this situation and we are finding out everyday in tv´s shows, news. congratulations because this is the more interesting lesson, I´m sure most of us never tried to understand this subjet in english . . then I give my thank for your effords, again, again and again . . .
it´s very sad know the poverty is going to be present always and while the interests have never changed… bla bla bla . . .
my regards….

sergioss

Yes, Sergioss, you are right. I think any subject, including English, becomes more interesting when we see the relevance of our learning. As you recognize more vocabulary, you will understand more and feel more confident. My best wishes to you.

Rebecca

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, i liked this lesson very much and learnt some new words as well.I like your english accent it is very precise so I pick some words from your speech as well, actually i am preparing myself for my IELTS test which is after one month so i am keep watching engvid videos to improve my english since i need 7 band in IELTS.I am very weak in writing so too scared.
well this video was very informative, simply awesome. I cant thankyou enough for such a hard efforts for us.
please do let me know if i wrote something wrong in my comment.

Amy

Thanks for the feedback. You can find writing tips on my IELTS website. You can also find free sample IELTS essays there, which can help you.

Overall, you communicate well in English and I think you can do well. Keep studying though because the IELTS can be tricky. Please watch How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay on engVid. It will help you with your IELTS essay too. Since you asked, here are some of your errors:

– I pick up some words from your speech as well. ( not I pick some words..)
– I keep watching engVid videos. (not I am keep watching…)

All the best with your English, Amy.

Rebecca

thanks you kindly Rebecca for letting me know about my mistakes i really appreciate that u spent ur precious time by answering me, indeed u r a unique teacher i am really impressed by u.I am glad that u posted nice comments to me that i can do well:):_
and Rebecca could u plz make a lesson or just let me know by msg that when we can use word intend to and tend to
actually i am too confused.
thanks alot

Amy

“I intend to become a doctor.” means that I plan to become a doctor.

“I had intended to call you, but it got late.” means that I had planned to call you, but it didn’t work out.

“I tend to eat the wrong foods when I’m on a diet.” means that I am inclined to breaking my diet. It means I have a bad habit of eating the wrong foods while dieting.

“He tends to study for tests at the last minute.” means that he has a bad habit of studying just before the test, instead of studying in advance.

“Tend to” does not have to refer to negative behavior but is often used in this way.

Hope this helps, Amy. Best wishes.

Rebecca

thanks a million and billion Rebecca. I must appreciate that and i am appreciating from the bottom of my heart…u cleared my doubt wonderful job…. u r the one the nicest teacher I have ever seen….
God bless u…..

Amy

Thanks Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you very much for your lessons. They are very interesting. I love your voice, I can understand every word. I would like to understand this expression : “Both a and b”. Can you help me? Can you give me an other example? Thanks a lot.

joelle

Thanks for your feedback. If you are asking about the expression, “Both a and b” from the quiz, it simply means that the correct answer is both the a answer and the b answer. Hope this helps. My best wishes to you, joelle.

Rebecca

good morning

I can not read fluently.i got stuck in between
I am working on it by reading newspaper loudly. But that’s not working a lot for me.
I request you to please recommend me something

mayank2010

Whenever something becomes difficult for us, we need to drop back a little to find the last level at which we felt comfortable, and then build up from that point once again. In this way, we can make breakthroughs in challenging areas. Don’t worry. The same thing happens to me when I am trying to learn another language.

Try to find some books which focus on developing English reading skills and which come in graded levels. Start at a level a little lower than your current abilities to build confidence and move quickly. Then, go forward steadily to higher levels from there. Play word games to help you get more comfortable with the language. there are many such games available online as well.

You seem to have a lot of motivation to improve, and that is your strength. All the best to you, Mayan.

Rebecca

i love this class♥

Rebecca

hi,Rebecca i hope u r fine…can u please suggest me how can i improve my english? i can’t speak english fluently.I like to speak english like other people but i can’t.Please give me some easy tips :)

insia

Be bold and proactive. That means don’t wait for opportunities to come to you, but go out and create whatever you need to achieve your goal of speaking English well.

Aside from reading, writing, listening and speaking English as much as possible, one of the fastest ways I know to improve your English is to work with a good private teacher. He or she will correct your specific mistakes and enable you to make progress by overcoming your difficulties. If it is too expensive to get a private teacher, perhaps you can exchange services. I wish you all the best.

Rebecca

thanx for ur kind reply.I’ll follow your advice.thank u soooooooo much :D

insia

You’re welcome!

Rebecca

hai Rubecca hru? really i like ur class.Very nice way, nd very clear also.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca!
I’m from Vietnam, I’ve watched your lessons a couple of times and they are all useful to me!!
Thanks a lot for your effort!
My friends found it interesting when i introduced your website to them, too.
But as I know “inundate” also means to give sb so many things, to make sb overwhelmed by sth, right??
thanks again!
keep on your useful work , please!!!
Best wishes for you and your family!!

huynh_tantai

Yes, you are absolutely right. You can flood or inundate a place with water, for example, as in the lesson, or you can flood or inundate a person with love, good wishes, etc.

Good for you for recognizing the various ways in which this word can be used. In the video lesson, we have limited time to explain all aspects of word usage. I wish you all the best in the future, and I am sure you will do well, as you seem to be very dedicated, huynh_tantai.

Rebecca

Great job!

rios

Thanks a lot. My best to you, rios.

why you use the article ” the with homeless , the injured, etc

I faced a word “devastation” in news and as I checked in dictionary it means “destruction”, is there any difference between them?

Thanks in advance

Devastation is somewhat stronger than destruction. It usually means something closer to “completely destroyed”.

Your lesson was a great effort indeed. Ma’m can you please make one video on Where to Use the Article “The” and where should it be avoided. When do we say The People and when it is without “The” and so many other words. thanks

“I feel so sad about the clamity that occured to the fate of Pakistan. Evacuting the inhabitants because of the catastrophe, distributing the donations among flood victoms, and aiding those who were injured was a great target. The response was appreciable and some countries pledged to provide with more donations. I’m glad that this trageddy has normalised to a great extant by now”
:):):):):):):) wao I used so many of words I just came accross. yahooooooooooooo

Kashifa Naz

Khandaa

i appreciate your teaching very much.could you please do a lesson on using – ‘to,of,by, and for’ and their differences.plz plz plz

bhai

Thank you Rebeca for your persistence to teach us English language. . . I must say this is, without suspicion, the best lesson I’ve ever heard. . . Please, in the future try to make longer lessons as much as you can, because it’s the best way to learn something. . . So many different words, synonyms, explanations etc. can help us by learning. All the best to you, and good luck. . .

Mark

Why you teachers never answer to last comments? It can be frustrating for all of us who didn’t have a chance to leave comment first or second . I understand that you don’t have enough time to respond to every comment, but try to respond, for example to first comment, then skip over several comment, then go in the middle etc. and finally to the end. Thank you. . .

Mark

Very good lesson. Thanks Rebecca. Lily from Brasil

Eliete

Hi Rebecca, very interesting lesson! I read above that you’ll do more lessons on topics in the news. May I suggest you new topics for these lessons? What do you think of themes like “ELECTION” (= poll, vote, opposition…), or “ECONOMY” (= crisis, unemployment, export/import..) or maybe a theme a little more funny like ART (= release of film, CD, edition of a book, reviews…)? Best Regards.
