Are You Learning English? Let's Talk About It! Aug 29, 2021

Show notes

I know most of you are familiar with these Saturday English lessons, but for those of you that are new to the channel this is an English class I do every Saturday where you can ask me questions about the English language and I try my best to answer them. I don't always have time to answer all of the questions, but I usually get through a lot of them. Even questions other people ask about the English language can be helpful for you!
From talking to a lot of you I know that learning English can sometimes be fun, but sometimes it can be aggravating and frustrating. As an English learner sometimes you have questions about things you've heard and you can't always find the answers.
This is where I step in and try to help. Using the form that is linked during the lesson you can ask me a question and I'll give the best possible answer I can.
Thanks for watching!
This English lesson is from August 28, 2021.

Show notes

We are surrounded by beauty, and learning how to use some English phrases to talk about beauty is a good thing! Anytime you can talk about things (or people) that are beautiful, it is another step in the right direction with your English learning!
In this English lesson I will do two things. I teach you some English phrases about beauty, and I will also give you a small tour of our flower farm. I hope you like the English lesson and I hope you like the flowers!
One of my favourite phrases about beauty is the phrase, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." which means that different people think different things are beautiful. It's part of what makes life so interesting!
So I hope you enjoy this English lesson about beauty. I hope you enjoy the tour of the farm. And of course I hope you are able to learn a little bit of English along the way!

Let's learn how to talk about bad habits in English. In this free English class I will help you learn over 25 words and phrases that we use in English conversation to talk about bad habits.

Questions You Must Learn for English Conversations Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

In this English lesson I'll teach you some questions that you must know when having an English conversation. You will learn English questions that you can use when having a conversation with someone who you haven't seen for a few days, or for a long time.
This past weekend I was at a small family event, and while I was there I tried to pretend I was an English student. I tried to pretend I was learning English! I paid close attention to the questions that native English speakers used to start conversations and also during their conversations.
This English video lesson is a summary of the results. I will teach you how to ask questions in English when you don't know a lot about a person, how to ask questions when you know a bit about the person, and the most common questions I heard that day.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about the types of questions you must know to have good English conversations!
