Hi Murat, Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment.

There are lessons for all the videos on the Real English site.

Thank you, realenglish 1!

I have a question. Isn't 'satisfactory' a strange adjective to use for persons?

[realenglish1]

'Satisfactory" is fine for describing people. For example, Mary got 90% on her test, but John only got 70%. In this situation, John, AND his results, are satisfactory but not good.

[EDHarden]

I disagree with your response. "Satisfactory" *is* a strange adjective to use for people. That's why the daughters in the video laugh when their mother says this. In your example, John's *results* were satisfactory, not John himself.

@EDHarden

It is the mother who is using the adjective to describe her daughter. She may refer to how she feels in respect to her daughter.

Thank you very much,

I didn't know the adjective "witty".

Hi Théo, J'habite en France aussi, in a little village called Carro, near Marseille, but i'm from New Jersey. The Real English site tries to explain "witty"( in lesson 10), with English text and a picture, but I guess you simply looked in a bilingual dictionary. Best wishes! Mike

Gracious is very similar to hospitable. You like people, and you like to make them happy, or make sure their needs are satisfied, while remaining natural.
