You love James! You love learning English with James! Right? Maybe, but in English we use more words than just ‘love’ to talk about relationships… in this English lesson, I teach you some of those words and phrases.
Confusing Sex & Gender Words in English – girlfriend, guys, partner…
Master Modals with the SEAM Method, Part 3 – Preference & Opinion
TIME Vocabulary & Phrases in English: recently, outdated, of late, nowadays…
Vocabulary – REMEMBER, RECALL, REMIND

Hi James the true is that when you are teaching,if you talk and write down at the same time is more easy for understand you,and if you do a quiz for us I think that we can learn easily.

Hello! I’m from Russia and today I watched about 6 lessons with James. I have learnt a lot of useful things about English language. When can I watch new videos from James? I look forward your next lesson! See you soon, but on the other hand that’s pitty that I can see you, but you can’t((
HI Alena I am Sabir from Jordan can we practice English together.
It’s cool, James . This is the frist time I join to Engvid .I like the way you are teaching. This is a good topic but you were speaking a litle bit fast. I look forward your next lesson. Thank a lots, James
Hi, I wanted to say that you are doing a great job for us, people from all over the world with different level of income, giving us access to view and learn English from these free lessons. However, there is may be only one thing, I think, needs improvement. It is lack of usability on your website ;( Although, everything else is on top. Keep it up guys!
John.
Hi teacher, i love your lesson, i want to talk with you…hehehe
Do you talk with me by headphone. I want practice reflex that is important
Thank you verry much!
RICH.

Thank you soo much and best wishes ,
Omnia
and one more thing , I agree with Reynaldo , because im not so good at understanding people’s speeches so its hard for me to understand some of ur explaing ,James .
so please write down what u say and try to be slower and Thank you so much ,
Omnia
Hi James,
It is a great site. I really love it. I have been learning English for long years. But here in Hungary English teaching sucks. Maybe because the structure of our language is very different. My English got better when I bought World of Warcraft. I was a member of an international guild. I used my English a lot. But becouse of it my accent is awful. I went to take an advenced language examination and I passed the writing part. It was two years ago. But I didn’t try to pass the oral part.
Now I am working as an Engineer in a Factory. I use my English every day. Usally I speak people from Germany, Italy, France, Israel and Poland, people whose native language is not English. I understand everything thay say, and I can make myself understood.
But, my greatest problem when I meet a man from a country where the native language is English. The ask me all the time to repeat my sentence. After a while I am terrified and don’t dare to say anything. I can understand what they say, everything, I watch movies only in English, but I cannot have a pleasent talk with an English, WHY? What should I do? Should I speak slower? What can be the problem?
I am really looking foward to your answer, thx in advance
Laci
Your English writing skills are amazing, Laci!^^ I hope all is going well for you now with speaking English to native speakers^^ If you’d like, I’d love to talk to you sometime–on skype–so i can listen to you and give some advioce–but, may i say, i am just SO amazed at your level of writing–and i really respect those who can speak/write another language as fluently as that! bekahbugdotcom@hotmail.com
cool you are a great guy and great teacher
Hi James,I would like to know “What were you aiming at in this lesson?”
Thanks
Kusha
thanks james this was a greAt and entertained lesson
hey james how do you call a person whose couple constantly cheats on him or her?
My girlfriend.
Haha. But seriously, you call a person who cheats ‘a cheater’. You could also use ‘slut’ — someone who sleeps with everyone, though that is a rude word. The proper word for a married person who cheats is ‘adulterer’ or ‘adulteress’.
What eleuterio was asking, I think, is how we call the person who’s being cheated. Is there any word for that?
jajjaja, that’s a good ? and no mr engvid , he is not asking that , in colombia there’s a word 4 the victim , so to speak , not the cheater, so is there a word to refer to the person that is being cheated on? I want to know as well
hi engvid what do you call someone who is really desperate and is looking for a girlfriend
James your lessons very interesting, I love you so much!!!
Jana, Ukraine.
Hey James, your ideas to relationship is making me Fascinating and willing to participates more in your lesson teaching, this is a cool lesson I ever enjoys from you! Thanks for providing this lesson on youtube.

i like you videos
best regards:)
Thank’s James For your help
Thanks for this, there was just one part that I didn’t understand.
If you could, can you elaborate on the last paragraph/part of it. I’m not 100% sure why, but I can’t wrap my head around it.
I guess it could be all the coffee I have been drinking today :)
I am heading out for the night, only I just wanted to post a comment here so I can recall to come back in the morning.
most useful site is ENGVID. john is excellent teacher. thanx a lot..
I am very much delighted I came upon this posting. The info was very valuable and will be very pleased to bookmark it. Will be back in the future to view if there are going to be some new changes.
really love this website and you are such a great one :)
I think he speaks too fast. The other teachers are easier to understand. If he tries to speak looking to the camera, maybe will improve us to understand him.
Thanks
hi jame u r bieyond discruption buddy!

another thanks))
James you are so funny, you’re doing an excellent job, God bless you!
Hi James, I’m learning english and i found so hard to learn the different types of advers. That ‘d e fantastic if you could give me a help with that. Thanks in advence.
Dude, great job.
It’s nice to remember that you’ve people from all over watching these videos and as a teacher, you should set the example in ALL levels, always. that’s just the way things work. I really didn’t find it hip, cool, funny, to actually induce people to hook up with as many people as they’d like.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
well, this was mine.
cheers
i like this lecture…verry tallented..he know how to teach properly..we verry intressting about your all of your lessons..keep it up.

Hi James!
I’ve been watching your lessons for a while. I am a teacher of English. I studied it at the University and while travellign and I’m still learning and learning how to teach in a fun and interesting way. I must say you’re the best teacher I’ve ever seen and I get to know a lot from you about the way of teaching. Thank you for all the work done. Keep it up! Lots of respect and good wishes,
Kseniya.

Regards,
Hey there, what amazing videos U make there… Your way teaching is unusual and unprecedented but very effective.. I’ve found them useful, therefore, that’s my duty to thank you for that..)) Thanks a lot and wish you best! You are holding your own..)))
I’ve read several comments here and I cant hold my peace, so I have a message to our viewers:
Dear viewers,
Please, DO NOT ASK ENGVID teaching stuff to teach you personally, that’s real stupid and irrational.. Do u think someone will teach you sacrificing their time and nerves without getting any benefit from it? They have nothing to do and they’ll start teaching you or just amusing and entertaining you(all of you), talking by skype and all of this kind of stuff despite jet lag, 24 hours 7 days a week 12 week a year? That’s completely unwise…
They are silent because they don’t want to lose their clients and that’s right, but somebody has to open your eyes…
Best wishes,
Azamat, Kazakhstan citizen…
p.s your work is here(hope you got it and had a feeling of accomplishment ;) )

I am curious about something!, where is he from?. I am studing english in Ireland and I found really interesting the way he speaks and some new words like garbage, I knew it before from movies, but here we use rubbish :D, and trash means bin ins’t it?. It’s really interesting for me to hear others accents, as here people speaks quite different, and a little bit faster. well done teacher.
Hi. I have just known this website and i like it so much. But my Enlish listening is rather bad :( I wonder anybody here could explain me the meaning of I’m taken and We’re seeing each other. I try to listen many times but still not understand :(
Thank you very much

Thanks a lot..!!!
thanks for this video.
sir, how can i conquer my fear in speaking english.. seems im distructed every time i try to speak in english in front of other people. here in our country some of the filipinos are very particular how you deliver your idea correctly. also you cannot apply for higher position in a company unless you can speak and write english fluently. like what i had experienced in my work, I applied for a particular position but I failed to win the position. ;( hope you can help me
Nicely taught!!

Hi,EngVid! And you, James, personally, coz I’ve been watching your lessons for a year or so. I find them very useful and VERY interesting. I practise the same way of conducting my lessons for making them not so academic as usual schools in Russia have. I only regret that I can’t possibly catch everyhing you sometimes say)))).Shame on me!((( I realize you’re a native speaker and you speak fluently and so on…)))But can I ask you to make your speach a little louder for at least I could catch it)))
Sorry, I didn’n mean to offence you)))
Thanks James! the lessons is very usefull, but you usually are talking too fast, please have mercy of us ;)
brilliant lesson!!! i haven’t got any another words!
James, you are the craziest teacher that I ever see, I just watched his lesson relationship vocabulary with Esiquio (the worm thing), you cracks me up a lot.
very nice, laying it all out there, probably couldn’t have gottent he info out of my brain on my own, mb in convo with my students but..
James i’m gonna correct my sentence:
You’re the criaziest teacher that I ever see, I just watched your lesson realationship vocabulary with esiquio ( the worm thing) You made me crak up a lot…. Let me know if I did right correction… Thnx
hi engvid. i found this site very interesting and useful. when u will create application for ios or android? i think it’d a good reason to expand the amount of users. for instance, i want to watch videos on phone. it is more convinient.
thank u
Can you explain the other expressions like “to get with someone” and “to make out” ? Thanks a lot for all your help. Your videos are awesome !
Great lesson.
Thanks James!!!!!
If I write : They met in the Grand cinema during queue to box office , this is correct?
thx all

Hello James,
Today I have discovered your classes in youtube and I have seen already 6 videos on the trot. I think you are an excellent teacher and the most important; very friendly and funny!
I have a good laugh in all your videos, but in this one…OMG this one is the best, can´t stop laughing, especially in the explanation of: SLEEPING AROUND!! “We-ge- we-ge- we-ge-we-ge!!! ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!” I LOVE THAT MOMENT!!!! James I have to tell you: you are the best!!!
I am learning English and in the same time I am having fun, I really appreciate that.
Thank you!
I definitely love you “Wihi wihi” loool
Very good lesson, as usual ;)

Hi,James! Do you teach English on Skype?
Hi teacher!! good lesson.
Hi James,
I am watching your lessons since last week. Just today I concluded my register to comment your lesson. I am learning a lot. And I’d like to say thanks. Because you are amazing. Congratulations! :)
Hi Solange, how about your English since you moved to the States (The United States).Have you made considerable progress? I suppose so!!!
Total immersion works wonders.
Bye for now!
I loved it!
Good video.Thank you James:)
Dear James… you speak so fast… Tks for the lesson!!!
Hi. very useful. but too fast for non-nativespeakers :)
hey james,why is there no a quiz in the video? greetings XD
This is amazingly hilarious! Love the way you teach! Kudos to you, James and the rest of the EngVid teachers! Thank you very much for such informative and useful lessons. :D
thanks guy
hey , i am asking if a girl would like a cool boyfriend . i am 13 and i hope to listen from you
Really good course.Thanks and Thanks.
excellent lesson :-)
you are the best
Why don’t give me a quiz to help us understand your lesson clearly?
Thanks
I like the strategy of your teaching. You are really good!
i like that lesson very much. I watched the video over and over. The explanation was very clear. after watching that video, i said to myself what is my relationship status. very hard to answer lol.
Hi,James beautiful lesson,thank u so much,you do a good job,man!
Great lesson, James
Excuse me, I’ve seen other teachers too… to learn English :-)
So nice) I love your lessons James) I tried to cheat on you with other teachers, but you are the best!)) Your sence of humor is wonderful. Thank you.
Hi mr James! i hope you are joking , aren’t you?!
I can teach you a lot
James always makes jokes; he is a hillarious person.
This makes -in my humble opinion- his lessons far more interesting and funny.
I always have fun watching James’ videos. I love his teaching style Rafi. How about you? Do you like it?
See you! Take care.
Hi james, this lesson was really funny, thanks a lot. You are a great teacher
Hi James,
I’m a student from Secretari Coloma in Barcelona, and today my english teacher told me to watch this video. As soon as I pressed the play button, I started laughing and learning some useful expressions about dating and relationships. Since I was the only one in the class who was watching the video, my friends were looking at me and asking each other what I was laughing at.
In conclusion, I have to say that is a very good educative video. Keep up the good work!
Oh, James, where do I start?
I mean, this lesson was amazing as expected from a brilliant man like you. Your vocabulary, your pronunciation, even your gestures helped me understand the lesson. I’ve already subscribed and followed you on all social media to support you in everything you do. Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Walrus.
Hi James,
I am happy I’ve found you.I’ve been looking for this kind of vocabulary since I started watching romantic TV shows. I’ve found some forums that talk about that but they are not as helpful and funny as you are. You’ve gained a faithful student! Thank you and keep up with the good work.
Crow
Hi James!!!!!! I discovered your profile today and I become interested in it. This lesson is very useful, I hope ypu upload more videos like this. Thanks.
Well, after all, I didn’t know that these sentences had this “meaning”, and I wouldn’t have figured them out otherwise.
So, until now, I have experienced all these things, but couldn’t find an exact way to describe them, but anyway I don’t think private relationships are an usual topic that people talk about, but thanks to you, I’m ready for an occasional conversation.
Hi James, thank you for doing this video.
Before watching it, I didn’t know anything about relationships’ vocabulary,but, after watching it, I learnt a lot of words.
Thank you so much, you are very funny
Hi james
I like your way in teaching
Thanks a lot man
Wajdi. M
Thank you *-*
Very interesting lesson about relationship and some English Idioms with this word. Thanks a lot teacher James from EngVid.
Thanks!
Nice lesson.Thanks James.
Thanks James! Very interesting lesson, hope to see more ones like that.
Thanks, see you on next time.
I love your approach -funny and creative! But sorry James, there are so many interesting videos here from other teachers, so I hope we can build an open relationship with you :)
