Teacher Ford. You really do a good job.

[nyankichi1]

Eder does not sound like a Japanese name. I think it is "Eda".

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

@nyankichi1 Eder was born in Brazil, but he lives in Japan. :)

[nyankichi1]

@PrivateEnglishPortal Thank you so much for your comment. I understood.

wtf im 14 and i have spoken english as my first language all my life and i've never heard of the word 'thorough'???

[TejpalTV]

Not an academic huh.

[shumackers]

Mr. Steve, your a charm to me, I learned a lot everytime i watching your video, sorry for my bad english, by the way Im from the philippines English is my 3rd language. your video really worth to watch. more power and Good luck. hpw you can teach me more! but im just a student and i dnt have credit card.... is there's any other way that maybe i can participate to your skype online session class... Thanks Godbless

[ReclaimerNZ]

His pronunciation of "thorough" is odd. It seems to me to be a North American anomaly. All other English speakers I have heard pronounce it so the last syllable rhymes with the "burgh" of "Edinburgh", and not to rhyme with "toe".

Steve

[thermalgee]

Thank you, I appreciate!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

I wouldn't say it that way!

I was going over 'word choice' during my advanced class with one of my students from Saudi Arabia this morning. What a coincidence!!!!!

I would say, "it brings back some cool memories".

Steve

PS Be careful of preposition choice!

[xXxNajwaxXx]

hiii Steve , i just wanna ask you which one of these sentences is the right one ..

1- it reminds me with cool memories .

2- it reminds me of cool memories .

Hi Steve, I just wanna tell you I've seen your videos for the first time and I already love them! Hehehe, your examples (like the pretty and funny girl saying "th") are very useful and make me laugh and I hope I will increase my english skills by watching all your videos.

Steve

[allyeen]

Thank you!

[allyeen]

I didn't find the answer for the 7th question in your website, could you tell me?

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey Agnieszka! I am happy to know that I hve been of some help to you!

Steve

[AgnieszkaD1990]

I had had problems with pronounciating the 'th' sound until I saw your video Steve! Thanks!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hi Denblbec,

I really suggest you watch my TOEFL Talk 4 video to get an idea about how to structure your speaking in 45 or 60 seconds. You will need to practise. Try recording yourself so you can evaluate yourself. Try to be careful of timing as you practise on a daily basis.

Hope this helps!

Steve

[denblbec]

Hello Steve,

thank you for the English sessions, I like listening to your accent and advice. My question is, I will be passing the TOEFL test in February, 2009 and my weakest point is SPEAKING, like developing an idea, it´s back up, logical conclusion.. How will I master in it, whether to write the topic down first or talking aloud at home when nobody is listening? ..What do you suggest for best SPEAKING practicing? Thanks a lot. Your comment will be highly appreciated. Greets Kamila

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey Tazeenhasan! Thanks for the tip! Many times it looks like videos won't play on youtube and the magic word is 'refresh' your page!

Cheers!

Steve

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks Lewn5! I love making them for you all!

[lewn5]

Hi Steve! I love your videos!!!!

Kisses!

[EstoEsAlucinante]

this is similar to Duncaninchina

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

I am happy to hear that this is of some help to your English learning!

[Trelviss]

Very good!! Some people need to be help and YOU are doing this. Thanks a lot.

[makiyto]

what about although?

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

For sure! Yet another 'th' word. I purposefully chose 'though' due to it's almost identical spelling to through etc.

[fernandocguedes]

I can't see the video... youtube said that this is no longer avaliable.

These are some terms in portuguese used to search english lessons on the internet:

aprender inglês (learn English)

estudar inglês (study English)

aulas de inglês (English classes)

lições de inglês (English lessons)

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks Fernando! I checked and the video is working ok, but thanks for the search engine words in Portuguese!

Steve

[tazeenhasan]

Pls. click refresh button as it happens to me many times but things become all right when refreshed.

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks for the tip tazeenhasan!

It's great to hear from my fellow teachers! Please give my best regards to your friends and family in Saudi Arabia!

Steve

[fred4horse]

But what does 'though' mean?

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Though is used for contrasting two ideas. For example, 'Though/ Even Though she is sad, she is laughing'

If you speak French, it would be equivalent to the meaning of 'même si'

Hope this helps!

Steve

[fred4horse]

Ah ok thx :)

[fred4horse]

Steve you're a great teacher!! I learn much faster than at school ;)

I come from luxembourg and I'm not very good in english so now I will come to watch your videos to progress in english

Thx a lot

[menchogacb]

Thanks Steve but i don't understand the meaning of thorough... is it similar to consentrate?

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

'thorough' is an adjective used to describe something which is done with great care because it was done in detail . How about a synonym like 'meticulous'? That word is a Latin one and I bet all of our Latin language speakers would know it.

Regards,

Steve

[kalleu00]

As you know Steve, here in Brazil, the people have a big difficult to speak the "TH" sound.

Thanks again guy, to help us!!!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Yes Kalleu, I know this is a big challenge for many of my students! I really hope this can be of some help to you!

[menchogacb]
