Well, 100% without watching the video,lol. I think that these words are very similar to my own language but it can be trick for people who have a completely different alphabet system.
Thanks alex!
I totally agree with you, Marcelo! You have said exactly what I was thinking while watching this video! What an interesting coincidence! We also use words similar to these in Portuguese, and not only in academic context…
Yes…for our luck, don’t you think? Academic English is easier for us because it uses words or roots derived from Latim.
Take care Janilza.
As you said, we use these words on a daily basis and they are not fancy for us.
Thank you, Marcelo! Take care and congratulations for your English! You can communicate very well!
very nice .i need somebody to practice speaking .this is my name’s skype omar.aldrese
I also got 100%, but I think it is because the teachers are qualified and likable to us.
Another Brazilian here!!!! And, of course, I tought the same!
that’s my language , Arabic , it’s completely different
Me too, i didn’t knew that my English is good before :)
I agree. These latin words are quite easy for all of us latins.
Excellent lesson Alex like all your lessons, I enjoy all what you teach us, thank you for the ten verbs, I got 100%.
I was confused but I got 8 correct out of 10 :) Maybe I was just lucky. So I will review your lesson and quiz later. Thank you, Alex :)

Hello.Alex
I have some question unanswered in mind
1) What does language mean to you?
2) How can student articulate their thinking in writing?
3) What is the difference between language and speech?
4) What is PLS or pictological system?
5) I have heard that we have some formula to creat iiregular verbs in English I want know how a verb changes to be an irregular one.
Thanks in advance.
What is the difference between the activator and the synonym of a word?
I got 70% without looking the video.

hi Alex, I’m new to this website and i’d like to thank you for all of your videos, they are very helpful. I’d like to know if you can make a video on the difference between “newest” and latest” or just explain it right here by posting a quick explanation in the comment section. I always have trouble to use the right word while talking about brand new things or something that was just released. Thank you in advance
I’m from Indonesia. This is the first time for me to learn with you and I feel that this lesson can help me to improve my English language. Thank you very much
many thanks Alex
Dear Alex. thank you very much your lessons . they are very useful for us.

very easy academic vocabulary, I think “english bar” more difficult
good words
7. It is ___________ that 40% of the victims were male.
estimated
identified
symbolised
Don’t you think, that if we have definite percent, we should use word “identified” instead of “estimated” in this clause, because “estimated” means approximate knoledge?
I got 8 Thanks

Hi Alex, one small information I require.
I have been continuously making spelling mistakes in the listening module. How can I correct myself and improve on it?
teacher i would like recive same lessons in my email address.
For portuguese speakers, the english’s high level vocabulary is a piece of cake. God bless the Latin. LOL
Got a perfect score on this one. I’m not taking either IELTS/TOEFL. I’m only self-studying as i don’t have the money to pay for it. Because here in the philippines, it’s really quite expensive, and really can’t afford it. But thanks to you guys here in ENGVID i now have the chance to learn englis for free. Thanks to all the teachers here in engvid. God bless you all.
Alhamdulillah, I have gotten 10 correct out of 10
Thanks Mr. Alex

I’m looking for a partner to train

Thank you very much.
I really like this course, I think I am learning…
hello thanks it was good 100%
excellent
Hello Alex,
I would kindly ask you to explain to us the structure of compound nouns. We are interested in their formation, especially noun +noun structure.( e.g an hour’s delay? Two hours’ delay or two hour delay?…. For example, if we want to say “properties for expats” should we say “expat properties” or “expats properties”.
We would like to understand whether the noun which becomes the attribute bears the plural or not.
Your sincerely,
Daniela
big thanks, Sir Alex
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
thx, you are brilliant
Thank you Alex. I got 90
i made one mistake maybe because i was in hurry answering the test any way you are doing just great Alx thanks
Thank you

Thanks Alex, 10/10!! My first language is Spanish, very similar words, very lucky!
You are the best English teacher that I had!!!
thank I reached full mark in the first time
Thank you Alex
Easy, but interesting as usual. Alex elucidates perfectly!
That’s perfect! I got 10/10. Thanks Mr.Alex.
Thank you very much, Alex!
I think watching the video is important even if you get an 100% right score. Listening the explanation of the meaning of the words help a lot for memorising them.
For these 2 verbs “minimise” and “symbolise” even google translate and MS-Word did not recognize them
the auto correction found “Minimize” and “Symbolize”
Thanks!
THank you My teacher Alex .i would like to add more exemple similar to this words .see you later thank you again .good bye ….Toufik from Algeria
Well thought. Thank you very much.
