Don't Watch This Video If You're Learning English Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

I made this video because I like talking about English language learning and I have ideas about what works best when you are learning English. Mostly I believe that you get good at what you practice when you are learning English.
In all truth though, I think Christian from Canguro English does a better job of explaining it so go and watch his video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhlAG...
I think his English lesson will help you understand a bit more about the journey of language learning. Have a great day!

How to Describe a WINDY Day in English! 🌬️🍃 Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

As you learn English you'll want to know how to describe the weather. In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to describe a windy day in English. There are many types of weather, but it's windy here right now, so I thought this would be a great time to tell you about it. After all, talking about the weather is a form of small talk in English, so you'll want to master it!
There are a few words and phrases for describing a windy day. The wind can be pleasant, like a breeze, or damaging like when we have a windstorm. Today the wind is strong, but not quite strong enough to do damage. There definitely are many things swaying in the wind though!
In this English lesson I'll be sure to teach phrases like, "to have the wind at your back" and "to go with the wind" and many more!
I think you'll enjoy this English weather lesson about describing a windy day!

Let's Learn English! Topic: Confusing Word Pairs 🍰🏜️ Jun 19, 2021

Show notes

In this English lesson I'll talk about word pairs that can be confusing. As you learn English it is easy to get confused between certain pairs of words like desert and dessert, or aisle and isle. Some are pronounced the same way, others look very similar but have a very different meaning and pronunciation. It can be very easy to accidentally use the wrong one!
In this free English class I'll help you learn the difference between some confusing word pairs in English, and how to distinguish between when it comes to their pronunciation, meaning, and usage.
I'll go over word pairs that have very similar pronunciations. I'll go over word pairs that have specific rules for usage, and I'll go over word pairs that are easy to define, but their usage can be a bit strange.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about confusing word pairs!

Show notes

As you learn English on Youtube you'll begin to realize that there are many different English accents. As you look for an English tutor to give you English lessons you might be wondering if the Canadian accent is right for you! You might even wonder this if you watch my video English classes! You might be wondering what is the difference between the Canadian English accent and American English accent?
In this English lesson (with word-for-word English subtitles) I'll talk a little bit about Canadian English, a close cousin of American English and some of the things that make it unique. I find of all the English accents that the Canadian accent is very neutral and easy to understand. I hope you think the same.

Welcome to this English lesson about dream jobs. In this English class I will help you learn English words and phrases for certain jobs. There are some jobs in the world that people would love to have. We call these dream jobs. These include the obvious jobs like actor and rock star, and maybe less obvious jobs like farmer or teacher!
During the lesson I will teach English vocabulary, but I will also use many example sentences and phrases as I'm explaining each word. That way as an English learner you'll notice this is much more than a simple vocabulary lesson.
