Hi James,
First of all I would like to thank you for this good lesson, and I’m sorry I didn’t got a big score, but next time I will.

I try to keep up with the latest engVid videos and I think today’s lesson is really helpful. I improved my understanding and feeling of using between “Excuse me?” and “Sorry?”. I mostly don’t understand what native speaker said at first hearing, so I often said “Excuse me?”, but today I understood that I’d better use “Sorry?” in such situation. I think that engVid videos are also very good for improving listening skills. I try to watch the videos without subtitles if possible, but I felt teacher James speak at a relatively faster speed so I watch his video with subtitles on and I really have to concentrate video not to miss any information he presents. I always appreciate his helpful lessons.

thank you teacher James

This is really helpful! Thank you, James. BTW – recently I’ve come across the phrase “Excuse you”, used in situations when someone did something inappropriate and didn’t apologize for that. By saying “Excuse you” you intend to persuade them to act properly.

Hi, Mary! There isn’t a way to track your progress on the site. You can use the English Lesson Finder to find beginner, intermediate, and advanced lessons on different topics, or by different teachers. But you can watch the lessons in any order!

Ibrahiem Diab

I am not sure why I got one wrong when in a business setting either, “excuse me and/or I am sorry for …” are acceptable. Actually, times without number, neither one are used.

Hello my dear sister, I apologize about missing your concert. A lot of work I received by my boss. I tried do all work faster but failed, so I was really angry and pierced boss’s car wheels, but I don’t regret for that. He fired me and I killed him, now I am condolencesing his wife…
