this is the fist time that I watched your clips,it does helps me a lot. I believe others who is not use English as a first language like me "have to" feel the same. It would be great if you become my personal English teacher because I have so many things want to ask you. Anyway,I will keep an eyes on your next vdo. Thank you so much^^

Man, I always have students telling me they are the same. Must and have to often can be used in the same way but must is used for internal obligation; 'I must get my hair cut.' That's the speaker's idea, no-one is forcing them. 'I have to wear a shirt and tie,' shows that there is an external obligation..ie from my boss.

GREAT JOB :)
-- I have to get my hair cut. / I must get my hair cut. There's often no difference. In fact, I prefer to say "I have to get my hair cut." If you say, "I must get my haircut," that sounds a little stiff in my corner of the world. However, there are other differences and situations in which one is preferred over the other.

@abuammar321 - The British use "must" a little differently. This video will still help you, but it might be a good idea to find a British version of what I'm doing on YouTube.

do we use have to & must for the function advice or not ?
cause Im little confused ^^"

Well, if you're giving advice, use "should."
But you can say something like this:
"You have to see this new movie, Avatar! It's so cool."
That would be similar to giving advice or making a recommendation.

does "must" have the same meaning as "have to" ? Are you sure?

Well, they're not exactly the same. I should have said that "have to" is a good substitute for "must."
