Can I ask you something ? I'm from Romania, in Europe, and I always wanted to learn english. A big problem is: When do we use " I ' ve" or in this kind of questions? Which is most correct : "I heard something new" or "I've heard somenthing new" ?

Have a nice day !!!

@25kisses10

In this case, we use "I've" to show that you heard it recently. "I heard" is more past, maybe a day or a week ago.

I learn hard for English for 4 months but I still cannot understand native speaker.

Your lesson is great and made me understand how I don't understand native.

I am a graduate student and SLP in training. I found this video very helpful for an ESL client I have who is working on melodic speech. Thank you very much for posting this video as I found it helpful for her to hear someone speaking melodically (other than myself).

Thanks for your lesson. I've heard a lot about your grammar book and seen some in the bookstores here in Taiwan. It's great and amazing to see and hear you in person, well, in the video.
