mieto1969

[The chicken didn’t make it to the other side]
What’s that mean?
I just don’t understand this joke.Can you tell me?

steveChou

That mean – chicken is dead and now it’s on plate – dinner :-p

MartaR83

Full joke sounds:
— Why did the chicken cross the road?
— Because it wants to get on the other side.

AlessGryphon

steveChou, the chicken didn’t cross the road.It is dead. It was hit by a car.
Now, that’s funny.

Nice comment, Alex! I reckon you’re the unique Engvid teacher who leaves comments to videos made by other teachers. I appreciate it because it express comradeship. Moreover, I like your own lessons too, of course. Take care!

Hello, everyone! My name is Rustam. I’m from Tajikistan, wanna be in touch with the one who wants to practice and to improve our lovely language (English)

xalik0ff

Hi Rustam, I’m also looking for one to one listens, maybe we can practice together once or twice a week?

wael.hakam

Hello people!

I also love interacting with foreigners to practice English, especially on Skype, where I participate of several groups.

Have you ever heard about Speakng24? That’s a helpful website to find international partners to speak English. I really recommend it. It’s free and you don’t have to create an account to use it. I will send you the link.

http://www.speaking24.com/

You can find me there on the weekends.

Regards from Brazil!

i enjoyed this lesson so much. thanks a bunch james :)
but i wanna discuss something.if you don’t mind. it was really easy to undestand if I learn it from you. but, as we know some native has a different accent, and sometimes some of them not speak as clearly as yours, sometimes i totally had no idea of what their talking about.. so how we (actually for me) to deal with it?

ps : i’m sorry for all of the grammar mistakes, :’)

i have learnt alot from you .

fatijar1

Interesting lesson, James. In my opinion, this is a natural process which happens in any language: we try to speak the faster we can, and we “sacrifice” (drop) some letters and syllables.

Due to that, we have so many different languages in the world. The tongues change all the time, endlessly. What a nice liguistic topic!! I love this website!

Until next time!

Eduardo França

Thanks a lot for this lesson. We can say “whatcha” instead of “what are you”(a lesson from Ms. Ronnie). Is there any differences between “whatcha” and “whaddya” or we can use both of them in any situations?
whatcha gonna do?
whaddya gonna do?
