[NefariouslyAwesome]

RainstRom1- I understand what yur going through, I moved to germany. . . umm yur doing a great job, just have the person your talking to reasure you of what your talking about in your 1st language ^.^

[RainstRom1]

i know a lot of words.but i dont understand when i speak english,i dont remember most of words.but when i listen i understand what people say.

pls give me advice

[stillasp]

I think with any language it doesn't matter if you know all of the words; that's what dictionaries are for. In my opinion it's more about confidence and practice, also maybe pronunciation.

[AKAUMAXshinigami]

I SPEAK ENGLISH! AND YOU ALL ARE DOING GREAT! GOOD LUCK!! I believe in you!

Since I became watching your videos I really improved my english, because they don't tire me; It's easy to spend lots of time watching you.

And British accent is awesome ^^

Thanks a lot, your lessons are pretty valuable!

[profetadelubermench]

ooooo i wish i have a teacher like you!!

your pupils for sure love youuuuu

[supernatural2029]

British Accent is not very common and I think it's hard to understand for me as an english non-english native speaker.. I speak spanish.. and I found out very hard.. I am trying to learn more.. in my school.. only teachers speak english but not very good.. some of them they have bad pronunciation, in china and another zones of the world they prefer to hire english native speakers..as well I need to improve my writing and grammar if you could give me advice for it.. thanks

[supernatural2029]

I am a mexican and I am learning english.. I get lost with the british pronunciation.. I learned american english.. I want to learn and practice my english in mexico.. it's not very common to see native speakers.. I speak english with teachers.. but they are mexican.. sometimes they have bad pronunciation.. I want to improve grammar and speaking.. because if you know grammar.. you can speak grammatically correctly..

[lineofhope123]

this is great news from you .. we are very proud of you so much :)

[hero200022]

u r new shakspeare great job

[aboudrar1986]

aboudrar lahcen

thank you very much Mr. Duncan.

[jjasmine72]

Thank you, Mr. Duncan. I am so lucky to learn English from your videos. You are a part of my legs hee hee oops my life~^.^y.

[pactu2007]

thank uuuuuuuuu so much @@@

[ademozturk1453]

Mr. Duncan thank you very much.. i asked my teachers lots of time how can improve my english sill =)

[isabellaaraujooliver]

I've noticed an unusual thing in that video ... I've never seen someone saying the -g final when pronunciating verbs with -ing, for example. So, that's what Misterduncan did, he said , at the beginning of the video : "teachinG English"

Why does that occur? I've never heard a native speaker saying this way.

[jetboyJ22]

"I've never seen someone saying the -g final when pronunciating verbs with -ing, for example."

Usually native speakers try to say words as fast as possible, so they often leave out sounds that they don't need, which then becomes a habit. Duncan is trying to teach the absolutely correct pronunciation.

Also, he has a British accent. Maybe you are used to hearing Americans?

[mastermaxtoppenfiget]

it's just what I need thankyou.

[chendoghole]

It is just what i need.

[kausar1982]

Mr. Duncan... I would like to give you a big thanks that you share ur knowledge...and definitely you got a clear voice so that we can easily understand...thnks once again....

[betaslinky]

thanks a lot...

[Hazerto]

Hello misduncan, your clips are very useful. I am an English learner, and English is my second language. In the past 5 year, I have worked hard but I do not think I have got greatly improved as a skill as you said, and my Chinese accent is very heavy. How can I decrease the accent and speak clear like you?

[xxx0246]

i from afghanistan u r program so good i can learn from u

[italyanomilano]

Thank you so much for your helpful efforts.

you are the best english teacher, I have ever seen. I'm learning english with your perfect videos...

And I love this sentences;

-How are you today?

-Are you ok?

- I hope so.

-Are you Happy?

-I hope so.

[HAMED123321]

thanks sir for tips.

the most common problem we have ((as foreign students )) is practice .

because after school we talking to our community in our native language .

your videos are amazing , keep going.

[duncaninchina]

Thanks Hamed. You make a great point. I found this problem was also very common during my time in China. I visited many schools, giving lectures and one of the most common questions the students asked me was "Where do I find other people to practice English with?" My answer was to say that there were many people around them to practice with. Of course I meant their classmates. It is up to the teachers to create an English environment, I have even taught teachers in the past. (Misterduncan)

[ainamelas]

when you order food is it correct to say i want it to take away

[duncaninchina]

Good question. Yes we can use the phrase "Take away" in an informal sense. "I want it to take away" is often used. We can also say "I want it to take out". The opposite would be "I want to eat it in" or "I'm eating it in". (Misterduncan)

[lldung17]

Mr. Duncan, thank you a lot! It's so interesting Video

[nathpandelo]

Very good tips, Mr. Duncan! I'm an English teacher myself, and it's nice to see that ESL teachers go through the same experiences everywhere - I related a lot to what you talked about.

Thanks for sharing!

[P0lita17]

Hey Mister Duncan, Do you think if i keep seeing all the videos that you did, would i will be able to learn english?

[aliseda15]

oo mr duncan. i´m from spain and i know english is my third lenguage so i think that is good improve a lil right???

so please this is my msn to chill each other and can u teach me plis

saludos

[halleberry03]

Mr duncan thank you so much! It's so interesting. May I ask a question? What is the rule of (long and short "a") as in cat and car. Your response is highly appreciated.

[duncaninchina]

This is a good question. The use of the sharp 'A' and the long 'Ah' depends on the original accent. Even in British English this rule can vary from area to area. Words like 'bath'...'path'...'slant'...an­d 'plant' are good examples of this. Even USA English varies this use, depending on the area and local accent. So to answer your question, there is no set rule. You'll notice that I use the sharp 'A'. This is because of my local accent, it is a part of my character. Take care (Misterduncan)

[ErisFae]

I recently moved, and none of my friends speak English properly (this being a major problem, as its my primary language). I stared showing them your clips on youtube, and they've really helped! Many thanks ^-^

[fjr23]

Do you think he speaks slowly in this video? aps.. I think I need to improve my listenig :(

[peh2004]

He speaks at an average speaking pace.

[OGueraa]

Very good,and clear,thanks a lot,Is there any chance to post a video where we can pratice and understand better when and how to use, (for -to -in - on ),best regards!!!!!!!!

[fogo18fogo]

I think you should put subtitles.But I agree. Learning english is easy.You just need to see it as a skill.

[Laeti211]

i didn't uderstand cause...

i'm bad in english

--"

[SmokTortowy]

nice :)

[lpswamp]

well, this english is pretty easy to catch up, but in many other cases, like in a bloomberg news or in a comedy, there english always makes me confused~ BTW, good job, thank you~

[doncruzz]

totally agree

[trulywin]

Good job! Thank you!

[wesajh]

[michaelimk23]

I quite understood. but where's legend

[97200307]

[duncaninchina]

Thank you for your kind comments. I hope to make some new videos soon. (Nov 2007) Take care from Misterduncan :-)

[Alessjovna]

where are you from???? you are perfect! i am not english,(in fact i can't understand that you say..XD except few sentences..) but your pronunciation is enviable! BRAVO! ;)

[brothermarcelo]

Hi,

Thanks, your video is so good

[hilmimunaim]

aloo..how to improve my speaking ya...

[pianolover1986]

thank you, you give me confidence, I can understand you by 90%, which convinces me that I'm not so bad in English. I just need more practice to get accustomed to different accents.

[kawaienvy123]

i like this english-speaker his english is very clean and "clair" compared than the others english -speaker

[joshuademoraes]

for getting english more easily I think is necessary to live where english is spoken, am I wrong? please make me believe that its possible, learning without move to other country.

[pianolover1986]

I can tell you--you really don't need to. If you feel it hard to speak English, you won't find things are easier when you are in English-speaking country. On the contrary, you will feel frustrated because you can't communicate freely with foreigners. Sorry to disppoint you, but the fact isn't as what you think. However, if you make good effect on English and have a strong foundation, a English environment will be very helpful.

[joshuademoraes]

you didn't disappoint me.But I think that nothing is impossible when you believe it.I never thought I could driving and swimming and I got it.I think that if you don't risk making something you are interested you will never know how it is.Even so, thx.

[paryus]

that's really good. i think you should to 4 minutes like that every week.

[freezinn]

i think listening is also a good way to improve english, like babies, they learn by listening.

[seeedooo]

thank you for the video. i could understand every word you said,because your pronounciation is really clear , i wish it would be always like this in the films or wherever i want to improve my english.

[shippoudesu]

mr Duncan i like your accent and i have a question : It is possible to learn to speak with an accent like Japanese or British ?

[naksnaks625]

wow.... i love ur accent... really smooth... so ur a british??? is there a american english teacher too??.. hehehe here in asia british accent are famous becoz of the movie harry potter.. coz harry speak beautiful accent...hehhehe hey wanna ask why australians speak english too???...

[blueworld123]

hey Duncan

Your accent is pretty fascinating.You've really impressed me.Keep it up!you're doing an amazing job

[stratosonico]

[AlSpider84]

[ZHOUZHENFENG]

[tinystar316]

[shippoudesu]

[samhaini]

mr duncan i am from turkey. i have to confess that you are speaking crystal clear english with british accent. i speak mostly in american accent . but i like british accent too much. i am waiting hopefully for a video which you tell us the ways of pronounciation in. thanks for the videos. good work..

[berguent]

great job

[AlSpider84]

Hello, I love your pronunciation. I'm Spanish and I'm learning at the language school. Some people say that I've got a british accent, but I don't like very much. I've been at the language school for a year and your accent is a great help for me. I'd love to speak as well as you one day. Thanks for your videos! I need to listen to you more.

[eddiesk86]

gooooooooood :).. i retract what i said before.. this time you were amazing. i like it so much.. and i think the english is part of US. since the moment that we watched gifs on tv.. UNTIL now.. always hearing english words..

Thanks a lot for all.. DUNCAN are u from UK right ?

[duncaninchina]

I come from England in the UK. I'm glad you enjoy my English accent. I hope my videos will be helpful. (Misterduncan)

[aryulo]

I am a student from Hong Kong. The speed and accuracy of your speaking is suitable for my level. I would like to watch more videos from you. Hope you can make good videos continuously^^

[FlowerAttitude]

Very good video!I'll came to see the others!

[Lynn15]

[duncaninchina]

Thank you for your comments. My videos are intented for everyone to watch. You will see that the level of English varies between clips. I try to offer something for everyone. From Misterduncan.

[meanoldsally]

if you're speaking primarily to a non- english speaking audience; or at least, presumably, and audience which is not fluent in English- why are your videos all IN english????

[walmir43]

Hello .... meanoldsally

Do you believe the video must be "what" Se você tentar ensinar inglês para alguem...devera ser em que idioma ?

[vakulik2]

Thank you!! I use your video for learning english!! I like it!!!

[boyelephant]

good job
