? 100. Alex , It’s sound so fascinating in speaking ” Good night. Sleep tight”…! Thank you you you you you you :) <3
My pleasure! “Good night. Sleep tight” is usually something you say to children, but you can say it to adults too. It sounds cute!
☺ yeah…!
Aa… I should write the sounded here ,i guess . Alex ,correct me ! ;(
You can say “It sounds so fascinating” or “It sounded so fascinating.” It depends if you wanted to speak in the present (in general) or in the past.
Thanks a lot. Alex you are so… Great! <3

ALEX thank you for this viedo and i want ask you what you need for leran english ?
The same thing you need to learn any language or any skill: consistent effort, practice, and motivation. :) There is no magical formula. My recommendation is to learn vocabulary and pronunciation first, practice some basic set phrases, and then start studying the grammar.
i’m chilling with my friends!
it means: i’m having fun with my friends ?(chatting, etc??) thanks
Yeah, it means you’re hanging out with them and spending time with them in a relaxed environment.
great! more new phrases to learn, thank you Alex
My pleasure! I hope they’re useful for you. :)
Thank you Alex.
