  • Hey, Steve! I am also an English teacher and I do love the way you teach. As a Brazilian, thank you for this wonderful material and welcome to Brazil, especially Natal where I live.

  • Thanks a lot for that video. By the way, i love your songs, especially Bossanova ;). Jazz harmony forever !

  • Hey Steve: How nice having your videos here on youtube. I am a Brazilian English student from Sao Paulo. English is as hard for us - Brazilians - to learn as Portuguese might be hard for you to learn.

    I've been watching your videos and listening to your advices as to TOEFL exams. I'd like to thank you for delivering such valuable info to us foreigners who weren't raised in the English language. I just love your videos and I learn a lot from them!

    Take care buddy!

  • i thought hungary was pronounced like hungry

  • Hi,Mr Steve,,my name is Aung from burma and i'm one of your new student and i'm really happy with your lessons,,

    Thanks,,

  • Hey! Man You travel abroad a lot.

    That is great and sad in the same time because i think you wish in some moment of your life be with your own family and if you traveled like this It is going to be very dificult to do it.

  • Thanks! The thing is that when you travel and live abroad, you have the opportunity to meet people you would never have met if you hadn't left home in the first place. Some of the best things in life are a surprise that, in my case, I found far away from home. :)

  • Hello thanks for answered my question, But I have a new one how long do i have study from reach a high level ? or in what level am i ? Because I'm Studying with cambridge methods and I'm in the level Passanger one. am i far away from my goal? bye Mr. Steve

  • Maybe he travels with his family ;)

    I would love to travel in the future too. I am dreaming of becoming a flight attendant so it's pretty everything about flexibility and travelling far away from home.. But I find such a life interesting :) Do you like to travel?

  • Great show Steve!

  • Hello! Hello! Hello! Everybody! Thanks for all of your comments! Stay tuned for Peppy 27 ! I have written a lot of new music for it to help you remember all of these phrasal verbs. :)

  • steve. you made a really god song! It sounded very nice to me the first time I heard it. my regards!!

  • hey teacher! ur style is very uneek i like it.great stuff keep it up.

  • hi steve im LIRIM ...

    maybe i can remmember you...

    yes i can give you some examples abou my question.

    for e xample:succes-successful,use usefu,beauty-beautiful...

    means that to exchange by noun in adjective...

  • Hello Lirim! usually going from nouns to adjectives isn't so bad. What about 'good' ? For example, We did it for his own 'good' ( noun) and He is a ' good' swimmer. Be careful of irregular adjectives, especially in the comparative and superlative i.e. better and best. This counts for bad, worse and worst. Also consdider far, farther/further,farthest/furth­est

    I hope this helps!

    Steve

  • hi steve im Lirm I come from KOSOVA .congrulations for your videos.

    and im glad to tell you that i can speak english now without any problem.i teach to speak english by you...I have a question for you...can you explain me more information for adjective when we exchange by noun...

    best wishes my best teacher

  • I am so happy that you can learn through my life experiences about when I was in other countries. Can you give me an example in regard to your question ?

  • hey you came to my country and didn't visite me? how come? hahha next time please stop by my house.

  • Ah, I tried phoning you, but your sister said you had gone to the cinema with some friends! Oh well, maybe next time.

    Regards,

    Steve

  • I wish I could find something like this in French. :(

  • Hello Steve, I'm David, a Brazilian guy from Rio de Janeiro that really appreciates your lessons. I'd like to ask you one thing: if would be possible for you repost the older lessons in high quality; as you told in lesson 15, you invested in a new camera and PC, but even though, I think it would be nice give us the opportunity to watch them in a better way.

    Thanks in Advance o/

  • Hey WesterSiderPL, It's always a pleasure to hear from my Polish students! Have a great day! I am filming Peppy 27 this weekend. :)

    I don't really master English, but it's good enough for doing my job. Actually I was quite satisfied with it, until my wife made me watch your videos about idioms and phrasal verbs. That really made me want to upgrade my English!

    Congratulations for producing such educational, entertaining and artistic videos. You're a great inspiration for many people like me! Thanks a lot!!

  • Thanks! I am happy that you liked it !

  • hi  and welcome

  • Hey Eng1425,

    There has always been a huge debate about this! Back when I was teaching in the 90s, I worked at British-run schools as well as American. Being a Canadian, I was able to work with both kinds of English. I truly love both ! I think they both have something to offer. In the academic world you obviously need to focus on one of the two. So if you plan to do the TOEFL, you need American English if you want to do the IELTS or Cambridge, you need British English.

  • Thanks for advices

    I plan to do the ILETS

    Cheers

  • If you want to be competitive in today's globalised market my friend, I must say that you need both British and American English.

  • You also need to know how to understand other accents in English from other countries as too often my business students tell me they are on the phone with people from China, India, Turkey etc. on a daily basis.

    Hope this helps ! Good luck with your studies and thank you for your generous comment !

    Steve

  • Smart teacher + amaze singer + creative writer = Steve Ford

    really I like the way how do you teach. I enjoy and learn from your youtube video

    I'm studying English in London and my brother going to study English and I recommend for him to go to Canada because the accent of the people in Canada very clear not like here in the UK.

    Do you think I'm right or not?

    Thanks

  • good

  • thanks!

  • Nice. Very nice and good the way you show my Rio de Janeiro. Thanks

  • Thanks! Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city !

  • This comment really serves as a source of inspiration for me. I really put as much as I can of myself into these videos, including my life experience. Thanks so much for your comment ! It made my day!

  • Thanks for the comment !

  • Can't be better any more!! Enjoy your lessons so much. Thanks, Steve!!

  • tativiana is wrong

    i'm brazilian

    and i know it's ipanema.

  • How about Vicks Vapor Rub ? :)

  • I don't say "Canadà" when I'm speaking (or trying to...) english... :P

  • Ok... Now I'm confuse... o_O?

  • Good question. I will consider using this for a test prep. video considering it is high level. This goes into the finer details of writing and speaking and your last example encourages me to do a video with regard to 'as'.

    bravo! wonderful question!

    Steve

  • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

  • Hi Steve, I enjoy your lessons very much. They've helped me a lot.

    I've had a hard time using the word "as" in a sentence. So I'm wondering if you could give a lesson on how that word is used in phrases/sentences. I know "as" can be used as an adverb, a conjunction, and a preposition, and in phrases like "as is", "as of", "It's not as if...". It's really confusing!! Thank you for your attention and patience.

    Grace

  • It's not "Ipaneema"... It's "Ipanehma"... XD

    But, great lesson, as always.

    Hugs from Brazil, actually Natal-RN,

    Tati
