Learning English-Lesson Forty Three (Superstition)

[ipeh]

You know mister, I have more or less 20 of my friends that are subscribed to you here in the Philippines.

[secretussum]

hello misterduncan how are you are you happy ? I hope so!

Have you ever seen a white snake?

[Melahdina]

People who own a black cat have to be jinxs ^^(what is the plural of jinx?)

My boyfriend had a little, cute black cat, but one day he was dissapear :< this was very sad :( I hope the cat is still alive ...

Thanks from Germany

[lolnepal]

creative work here also very thorough. thanks for teaching. I know in my country there are tons of superstitions, many have died but still some exists. 1 funny is choosing direction before planning a trip by road. the person would call advise from a priest for date and time and day of the week for a particular destination such as north or south from your home ? This superstitions is usually for long journey. thanks again. ruben

Hi Mister Duncan, I´m OK and I´m happy. I´m taking your lessons every day since I started to watch your useful videos .. You can easily explain many topics that in a traditional class or in a boring Institue could not do it.

I was learning English two years ago but I would have prefered my English Lessons with Mister Duncan since that time.

Regards from Colombia... When are you visited us???

[ReginaAlba]

In Bulgaria seeing a white swallow is considered as something close to a miracle and bringing a lot of luck and even salvation.

[BaulerRicardo]

I love you, Mr. Duncan. Would you marry me? I hope so. (Hahaha)

My english is still very bad but you´re helping me so much.

But... i am brazilian and i never heard about the supersticion of the sugar and the coffee. Maybe because i´m not a superstitious.

I'm an american who's family is from Romania, specifcally Romani, which most people call Gypsies (incorrectly) and when we move into a new house, or buy anything new, we tie a red string on to it, called a Bendel, which is supposed to ward off negative spirit's inffluences. Also, when you're sick, shaking a young tree will move the illness from you, and the tree will filter it.

[BonFire110]

Misterduncan, THX 4 the newest video! I was born on 13th too. But I feel lucky. In Hungary there is another superstition. If you catch sight of a chimney-sweeper you have to take a button on your clothes. And it will bring you good luck. :)

[MadameDeces]

Thanks Mr. Duncan, from China!!!

Love your lessons, and the way you move your hands...

[patrikdensmarte]

Thanks for all of your videos!

[Antoxx92]

What a bad bird! He pushed another bird away to eat his food...

eheheh.. another funny lesson.. Thank you for your FREE videos...

[OofoeoO]

there is a similar superstition here,we seldom have NO4 room ,coz 4 sounds like death in my country!

so guy what the superstition in your countries?I am soooo curious!XD

[ZahrahLand]

Hello Mr.Duncan

How are you today ?

It is very interesting subject.and I think my grandmother will love your lesson very much,because she believes in superstitions

Some people in my country believe that the owl indicates ruination and bad luck . Really it is funny :)

what a poor owl!!

I think if we tried to collect superstitions in a book ,it would be a series of books each culture has one.

At the end, I can't believe in superstitions because there is no logic or evidence

[qdpurple]

hello.me too.I think it is just our thinking .

[bepo5000]

Thank you MisterDuncan for another lesson; you're my great help for English! greetings from the Argentinian summer!

[soheilmosharraf]

Hopefully I don't belive in any superstitions. I'm from Persia. You know me. Don't you? I was born on jan the 3rd 1990 and in Iranian calender I was born on 13th of the month called dey.... Is that means that I have bad fortune? No, not at all.... I'm and I was so lucky in my hole life. Nowadays inn Persia (Iran)noone blieviles in suoerstitions... but vary vary few people do... I think they are sick. They're stupid. I hope you don't belive in superstitions.

[NonNativeSpeaker]

Hi MisterDuncan thanks for another great lesson. What caught my attention was that device that you used for the birds? That was really nice. Bye!

[rainermb]

Hi Misterduncan, that was very true. I lived in the USA for a while and in fact I haven`t seen any hotel with a thirteenth floor or a room with the number 13. :-)

Greetings from germany

[eliza19a]

Very interesting lesson!

U have a heart of gold!U even care about little birds..
