why video in many times blurred and photo unclear ?
in all lessons
thanks
Because your photo is not clear either!! lol
hhh from where you got this wit
You are probably watching in low quality. Click the gear icon on the bottom left of the video. Change the quality to “720p” or higher.
thanks
sometimes your connection may get slower and because of that youtube automatically lower the resolution to make the video do not stop.
I hate when it appens lol always i hit the gear to restore a good resolution.
lool
thanks

When I discovered James’s videos I had some difficulties to understand because a little bit fast speaking. But I already knew that in this “game” mustn’t never give up! After listening many many James’s videos my ears are used to listen to easily and they ask me for faster and fluent English. Thanks Jemes for your trigger strategy communication to make disappear our difficulties!

It doesn’t matter it’s my time off or not every day I’m watching two or tree movie or more. So, I’m Cinephile. I can’t stay without watching movie
Heh, me neither )) Especially horrors ones ))
But I don’t like horrors, coz I’m scared :)

Great and thans!
Concerning the verbs ENJOY and LIKE.
Yeah, “enjoy” is always followed by Gerund.
But after “like” Gerund is possible too, isn’t it?
I like dancing/to dance.
Thnx,
Thank you James so much.
After my English has been improved, I am interested in more lessons like that. Grammar seems to be boring. Business English can be useful. I want to talk to usual people. Here I can pick up some vocabulary. Ronnie’s lessons are also cool!

yaa, that was great. i got 10/10.
really nice ,you are speaking very fast that is little difficult.
Thanks James! You are the best teacher!
Hey Mr. James i really like your class and i have a good idea for Engvid to follow .. i wish you will like it .
at first you and Engvid teachers will find the most common 5000 words in English then you will divide them into ” Topics ” every topic has about 28 words like ” love at the first sight ” its words are ” Devotion, secret admirer, love story, candles, eye contact, affection, adore and treacherous ” .. it’s a sample after that You will say every word definition and then tell a short story include every word of these common words .. and the next video includes Grammar and non grammar skills like ” If conditions and polite request ” with phrasal verbs attached to the last topic … and in the end the quiz include all of these . that’s it i hope you will like it ;) Good luck :)
thanks to you my vocabulary has increased by far!
Thanks James..
I enjoy collecting 10/10….

How did you make up Jadzia in the second last question?
I should have written “second to last”, I guess.
thanks！
Thank u for lesson;)
“I enjoy, ING” shauhsua tks James S2
YOU SPEAK TOO MUCH JAMES,, SLOW DOWN BUDDY…
Both are correct “What do you do with your spare time?” “In my spare time I like to play music”.
Why the second one contents “in” instead of “with”?
Thanks!
I wasn’t enough attentive. Sorry. :) “In my spare time” and “in my downtime” both are correct.
You got 10 correct out of 10.
thank you
but sould not it be (with my) instead of (In my)
In my ________________ I like to _______.
downtime, collecting comics
spare time, play music
time off, playing soccer
Well, I usaully play video games and draw my comic or read book! :D
…im so silly
That’s cool mr james , thank you from saudi arabia and keep going , i watch you everyday ?
Thanks James, you is great teacher and fun.
Thanks for the lesson. It was great fun like all James’s lessons))But I don’t agree that we must use only a base form after the verb “like”. Using a gerund is quite correct too.”I like jogging in the morning”. Why not?
Hey, James, I have no such word in my bucket to thank you. I love the way to teach everything. I learn so many things from your lecture and I am still learning lot more things. You know what, You change my learning process completely and I am really thankful to you.
Thanks a lot Mr. James!
Thanks Mrs.E and James! Your lessons always are the best.
thank you
Hi James

thank you
my score was 100 of this test. and it is for you.
I love the way y’all guys are teaching us
I got 10/10 thank
Thanks James Good luck in your life !
Thanks James, good lessons!
as you said you didn’t have time to explain why “enjoy” should have and end with (V+Ing) and (Like to+ Verb base) Just wonder ‘why?’
08/10 – Thank you James
Thanks I am so happy
Thank you very much for your lesson.I really enjoy watching your lesson and It’s very useful for me.I hope, my skills in English will be improve.l am waiting for your next lesson.
