mister duncun you use in this video word due , what meaning?

[duncaninchina]

In the lesson I say..'due to...' Which means 'because of'. You are stating the reason for something. 'I was late for work due to the slow traffic'.

Thank you, MisterDuncan for this awesome testimonial celebrating a great English linguist. Your programme stuns by the professionalism and impeccable craftsmanship of production. It really is hard to believe that a project of this kind can be completed by just one person, and that the result can be so perfect!

I loved the tour of the cathedral and I really appreciated the information about the grand figure that Samuel Johnson was.

And, of course, I totally enjoyed it! :)

Thank you for your comment. I will write a short piece about the making of this lesson soon on my Blog.

In this video (22:24) you use the word mark twice. In a previous lesson you advised us to learn more vocabulary in order to avoid repeating the same word in one sentence. What do you think about using the word mark again in the same phrase? Thanks for your reaction and/or explanation.

But great lesson :D

Enchanting lesson, I'm so grateful, not words to describe how I appreciate your lesson, particularly this one. I hope one day to see you, I'd like to clutch your hand personally and compliment you about these great works, helpful for me. I hope one day to speak english as I speak Italian, I must be patient! Hope you continue in this way and also more. Thank you very much. I send you one of my own song, wrote for my grand mother: Angela, hope you would like it. Bye bye Evi
