I Make English Lessons For You! (And I Love It!) Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

This English lesson will be a little bit different. I thought I would just take a moment and explain to all my English learners the different types of lessons that I make.
Some of you are new here. Some of you have been around for a while. Regardless of how long you've been here you may not all be aware of the different free English classes and lessons I offer.
I make short English lessons every Tuesday. These are very concise and practical lessons that sometimes can also be entertaining and funny. In these videos I teach phrasal verbs, grammar, phrases, and sometimes I'll take you somewhere and teach you English on the spot, like at a gas station or at a restaurant.
I do a live English class every Friday at 7:30AM Eastern Standard Time. This class is on a specific topic, and is a great place to learn new English vocabulary and phrases. You can also ask me a question during the lesson. Please note a shorter version of this English learning video also comes out two days later for review.
I do a live Question and Answer lesson on Saturdays at 11:00AM Eastern Standard Time. During this class you can ask me a question about the English language and I'll do my best to give you an answer.
I also have a second Youtube channel where I create more advanced lessons every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This lesson is great for English learners who are interested in learning phrases, phrasal verbs, slang and hearing regular everyday English. You can find that channel right here. Don't forget to subscribe!

Let's Learn English! Topic: Sad Things 😥 Jan 30, 2021

Show notes

Last week we learned English words and phrases to describe happy things. This week we'll do the opposite. In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to talk about sad things in English.
It won't be a happy lesson, but it will be a good lesson.
It is January in Canada and the days are short and we're not allowed to go out right now and that made me think about doing a class on sad things.
I'll help you learn English words and phrases to talk about death and breakups, when accidents happen and homesickness. I'll make sure to teach more than just the vocabulary words. I'll also include lots of example sentences during the class as well.
I hope this English lesson helps you learn a bit more English! Have a great day!

5 Brain Games to Help You Learn to Think in English! Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

When you learn English it can be a bit boring. Learning to think in English can be hard. Games can make it more fun, and help you be more productive with your time! In this English lesson I'll teach you how to play 5 words games in your mind to help you practice your English while you are riding the train, when you're somewhere busy, or while driving in a car! This is super convenient learning, and these games can be played all by yourself!
These games are designed to help you start thinking in English. Thinking in English is accomplished by forcing yourself throughout the day to routinely think and say things about your surroundings. These games will help you do that. You'll learn games that use the alphabet, games that use opposites, games that use descriptions and more.
Each game will help you practice a different aspect of the English language. Some are for practicing English words you know, others, along with a dictionary app, will help you learn new words!
I hope you enjoy this English lesson where you'll learn how to play 5 games in your mind as you practice your English!
Have a great day!

Learn English Tenses: The Present Simple Jan 14, 2021

Welcome to this English grammar lesson about the present simple tense. This is also a very common English verb tense, and it is very useful to learn it. Once you master it you'll be able to talk about the things you love and like, your habits and routines, and how to state facts. As a bonus you'll also learn the zero conditional!
I'll start by helping you learn how to form the present simple verb tense for spoken English using I, You, We, and They. I'll then make sure you know how to conjugate it with He, She and other nouns. I'll also make sure I help you understand how to use it in the negative, and how to form questions with this tense.
At the end of the lesson I'll give you an English practice tip you can use to help really learn this tense and never forget it! It is a very useful tense to learn for English conversation practice.

Learning English is Awesome! Ask Me Anything about the English Language in this English Lesson! Jan 10, 2021

Show notes

I think right now is a great time to have an online English lesson so you can learn some English. It's January. It's 2021. We're all stuck inside. What else are you doing right now? Why not join me and learn some English!
In today's question and answer lesson I will answer questions from all of you about usage, pronunciation, vocabulary, and phrases. I'll do my best to answer as clearly as possible.
From my own experience learning the French language, I'm familiar with the struggle you may have learning a language. I know as an English learner you have questions that you just can't find the answers to. You can't find answers online or in books, and sometime you don't have an English teacher who you can ask. In this lesson I'll do my best to answer as many questions as I can about this weird and fun language we call English!
I hope you enjoy this English lesson!
