You’re very welcome. Thanks for checking out my videos.

Mr.Alex, is that a correct writing ? ” exagerrate” ?
or ” exaggerate ” ? you had written on the board like 1st example of mine.
Thank you

bakhtiyar ali

I checked it out in the wordreference dictionary as it looked strange for me too.
According to WR, it is exaggerate.
We all make mistakes ;)

knopfler86

My mistake! Double consonants are annoying. Yes, the correct spelling is exaggerate.

Alex

Thank you for the great tips!

it’s very useful for a language learner to read two stories per week.

I admit that since I began reading the Bible my English improved a lot! and that’s my favorite book and I am always reading it in English!

Thank you

Just a short comment to say that I think that reading a book or any other kind of writing is good for improving your vocabulary and grammar skills. However, if you are not with a native English speaker, who corrects you when you don´t do it right, you can´t know if you´re pronouncing properly or not. That´s the only negative point I see in reading by yourself out loud. Just my point of view.
Thanks Alex!!!

Thanks Alex. You always gives good advice. Bye!

Great job, Alex! Thank you so much.

Júlio César L Sousa

The Portrait of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, is one of my favorite books, teacher Alex, as many of Stephen King´s novels and Edgar Allan Poe´s poems. Even though I´ve always been drawn to sad, horror or dark stories, I can read different genres as well. Hey, you ought to take a look at some of Álvares de Azevedo´s poems. He´s a Brazilian poet WHOM I´ve read since I was a boy. By the way, could you name me some Canadian writers? I´ve always been curious about the Canadian literature. Thanks a bunch.

Emanoel Pereira

Hi Alex! Thanks for this lesson. I like to read but my problem is that I’m often not sure how to pronounce because of that, many times I get used to pronounce wrong some words. What do you think about audiobooks, I means, listen to the mp3 while reading the actual text?

Jorge

Hi Sir,I’m from India. Your class is really helpful for those who are 2nd language speakers. It helps me a lot.

Thanks Alex for this lesson. I used to read news on line, but I stopped doing it. I have to develop the habit again. Reading really helps to improve our English skills.

Aleachi

Ever and ever reading books will improve our vocabulary but I would prefer the audiobooks at this moment of learning period, they are less boring that without sounds, of course, you can follow the enunciation, the pronunciation and the fluency on them, my last book with a difficult reading was: “He Knows Too Much” (Alan Maley) by Cambridge University Press, Advanced Level and a lot of new words and expressions so we must lose our fear to afford the next phase of learning. Thanks a lot, teacher Alex, it has been a very useful lesson, we should exaggerate our skills to sear into memory new topics.

angardiobel

Thanks a lot! Mr. Alex. Your lesson is very useful but sometimes reading english books with the challenges and difficulties because so many cultures include.
All in all, Book as window of the world.

Jon west

exaggerate… On the board we can see “exagerrate”.

i want to know more from you

vincent valentine

Totally agree with you. I used to read for the purpose of learning English and as well as enjoying it. Lstely I’ve been reading Don quixote de la mancha… <3 what a great book… But also an awesome way for improving many skills of your English, as of any other languages also. And I always liked myself reading aloud, even murmuring when I could not do so.

temo suladze

Well its great ,but a had a question about that many time ago. So what will happen if book is not in original and its more easier, will i learn new English vocabulary correctly for example book= Jane Eyre. its simple now, but not so hard. What i must to do .I want to learn more and more with Origial and correctly written book. i think Engvid s advanced lesson will totally help me. Am i right in my annoying opinion?

lazare

If you read this reply and you are still here on this website I will be really amazed, Lazare. :D :D Hope and not only hope, but I am sure that you have achieved English proficiency that you were looking for back then and that you are a very successful guy today. Wish you all the best. Great to see my compatriot who shares the same passion and devotion for English. If you see this reply and let me know that you have seen it, Lazare, well, I might go crazy for some seconds!!.. :D :D :D :D

Dear Alex,
Thanks a lot for such a persuasive and useful lesson. I really enjoyed it and I’m going to use your professional advice on reading out loud in future :)

Congratulations.
I loved this video, now I’ll try to practice this method and my first English book will be Dracula. Have you ever read Dracula?

Adwait Shiva

Hi Alex,
I always read a newspaper, comic magazine and books. I usually like to read loud as well. The other way that I have done is talking by myself out and loud, because I don’t have many friends to practice conversation.
Anyway, many thanks.

Fernando Moreira

You’re doing the right things. Keep it up!

Alex

Adridafne

Hi, Alex. As always, thank you for helpful lesson.
I like reading, but I’m not a good reader.
One of my favorite authors is Haruki Murakami. I’ve read his books almost all of them. So one day, I want to read his books in English and want to compare how different they are between Japanese edition and English edition. But the problem is books written in English are more expensive than Japanese ones here in Japan. I wish I could get them cheaper…

Hi Alex !!! Nice video thanks for your lessons, those are very helpful for me to improve my english.

I just finish to read the book “the little prince” and it was very easy to understand, only some words I had to search in the dictionary, but, Do you think if the book “Journey to the center of the Earth” is a difficult book for English learners? I just bought this book and it is n’t like the Little Prince it’s more difficult.

Thanks for your advices, buddy!!

Hello Alex, I thank you very much for this lesson. I just read a whole book aloud and already I understand better when I look at videos in English. For those who would like to try, here’s a site where you can hear the pronunciation of any English word : https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/

Good Mrs Brown

Thank you Alex. You explained clear and in detail.

chutima20koy

Hi Mr. Alex. I appreciate it. So I have a doubt: How may times I have to read the same book when I am not getting to understand the text?

hfsantos

A very helpful lesson, Mr. Alex. Once again, you are one of the best teachers on EngVid.Com; your pronunciation is very clear. I have a question for you… Which is correct “…on EngVid.Com” or “…in EngVid.Com”? It isn’t very clear to me when and how to use the words ON and IN. Could you explain me that, please?

alro7779

You’re best teacher. Thanks so much.

GNgo6822

A good lesson, no quiz, and it encourages students to pick a book to read. I am going to try read it out loud myself to see how it works; especially, focus on words ending with -ed and -s. Thank you, Alex.

Donald

Alex, as an ESL teacher myself, I greatly value what you and the other engvid instructors do for students. BUT, on your whiteboard, you have to correct EXAGGERATE, please!!
thanks in advance.
