I might do a random live stream and Sherry might do some random live stream just nothing is scheduled so don't panic oh lolly lolly is here I think everyone is here yeah Layla has a question let's take a look at Layla's question I'll go to my question board here move over what does she say oh it's going to be the same type of questions where everything means the same please bring to my attention anything you feel is inappropriate and please let me know they mean the same thing it means the same thing so don't bring to my attention or let me know that means the same thing Layla Carrie I'm going to pass your question I love lemon tea good luck look juba 9k what is difference between slippy I'm not sure what you're trying to ask juba 9k can you try again with your question because I really want to help you but I don't understand the question and you already deleted it and Meg I am has a question I have a question good let's remove that can you please tell me which of these following sentences are correct all right I can do that one two or three let's number one they want to go swimming that sounds okay they want to go to swimming now sorry this one here I'll put a yes no they want to go to swim this is possible but probably this is the best one we can every we shouldn't use two with ing right you you have your jaren and your your infinitive here so this one is always wrong but these are these are what you want to use and probably this one is the better one body be careful your mustache wedding in the tea yes you can imagine when I'm eating food lots of food get into my the mustache here and my whole beard Carrie says how Carrie asks an interesting question how can I practice my English speaking when I cannot be active on your whatsapp I took some tea to think my whatsapp groups are not the best way to practice speaking but for some of you they are the only way so my what's what's up groups are better than nothing so if you if you want to practice your speaking but you don't want to be in my whatsapp group then you got to find you got to talk to native speakers so you got to join a club or another app you got to be it's up to you to go out there and find people and spend your saturday or sunday joining some club or group it's it's very hard these days because of coronavirus but that that's what you got to do if you want to practice speaking my whatsapp groups I give it as a service just to help people but as you guys know there's some weaknesses or problems practicing on whatsapp whatsapp is not a perfect place it's it's it's okay it's better than nothing so Carrie I would recommend you use whatsapp more it's better than nothing Alyssa asks you play stupid things you win stupid prizes what does this mean well I'm not sure we saw that so I have to take a guess you play stupid things you you play a stupid game you win stupid prizes now I haven't heard this before but I have heard you ask stupid questions which is similar you ask stupid questions you get stupid answers so for example I'll do a diet I'm typing a dialogue on the screen here someone asks me Robin are you Canadian and I might say only on the weekend and they say what and I say of course I am Canadian you ask stupid I'll read it again when I finish you ask stupid questions you get stupid answers well actually it's not a stupid question but it's just an example so someone asks Robin are you Canadian and I give a stupid answer because I think Robin are you Canadian is a stupid question everyone here should know I'm Canadian it's I this is just an example guys so Robin are you Canadian only on the weekend and the person says what of course I am Canadian you ask stupid questions you get stupid oh not questions you get stupid answers so when when so Alyssa when someone is doing something in a stupid way our reaction will be also in a stupid way so I hope you get that that's a little confusing all right we got a we got a lot of people coming in Leila do you have any specific plans for this channel in 2021 nope no plans yet and we have another guest super English speaker teacher Elaine hello just going to check your channel what's happening there you three days ago I didn't see that babe have hi okay I'm going down my list here let's go back to here for a little bit lolly lolly Robin can I learn English in my sleep some people say that maybe I don't know I don't know anything about sleep and learning right go back to the Leila's question here oh hello Gertrudis Leila do you think if I develop my writing could I make my sentences correctly during speaking well yeah writing will help speaking yeah certainly yes and magna ask a question could you please tell me which of these following sentences are correct let's get rid of that let's let's look at the sentences apples are often purple apples are sometimes purple apples are never purple well grammatically they are all correct grammatically but we know so they're just using adverbs of frequency often sometimes never so if we just look at the grammar they're fine but we know that apples are not purple so if we if we just looked at the facts apples are never purple right can an apple be purple let's let's see if maybe with an old apple is purple well an rotten apple they have images of purple apples anyway anyway let's ignore those images so grammatically they all mean the same but factually uh if there is I don't know if there are purple apples somewhere but I would say almost never purple something like that but all these sentences work juba 9k what is different between sleeping sleepy and sleep all right well the these two are the closest here let's put sleep first I sleep so I often sleep at here I often go to sleep no I often sleep at 10 or midnight I'm sleeping go away I feel sleepy all right I put these in sentences so these two sleeps are the same we just have the present simple and then present continuous different it's the same verb sleep just different grammar form all right so juba 9k I hope you know your your different tenses but this one is a little different I feel sleepy so this is going to be the same as I feel tired I feel sleepy I feel tired okay so the sleep that's the verb we can you change that with different set tenses and then sleepy means tired dwee what is your opinion teacher robin if I do listening English from youtube when I'm getting when I am sleeping it's work or not to make me good English uh uh my advice I I don't you know I'm not a scientist but I would suggest you guys when you sleep don't listen to English just go to sleep have a good night's sleep and then wake up in the morning with a fresh mind and then study English I think that is a better way than just listening to English as you sleep uh that's my advice today I don't know what I should write about I have no specific topic or great idea is this sentence could I know why why it isn't correct using article with specific I have no so I have no so your question is overly complicated I'll make it simple so I have a topic and then I have no topic I don't have a topic all right so I'll break it simplify it like this I have a topic I have no topic so when we're using no we don't use ah I'm pretty sure so if if you if if you want to hear so this is the common way to say it negative I have a topic I don't have a topic so in this case we both use ah but ah but when you say I have no topic we don't use ah I'm looking at the questions guys I'm not going to do every question I'm Kerry's here I think I'm pretty good in English writing but whenever I talk to native English speakers I can't speak over two sentences I can't remember new vocabulary expressions during the conversations well Kerry I know you face to face your problem is not English your problem is confidence and social anxiety so you are thinking that this is an English problem it is not an English problem I'm very confident that your English is enough to talk to native speakers it's just more of your confidence so what should you do ah in your own language so Kerry you got to make Korean friends practice speaking with them and then become comfortable in your own language how to talk to people interact with people and then in English it'll be easier Magnus I would like to know whether the following sentences are correct or not one I have two sisters I've got two I have two sisters I've got two sisters we'd probably say it like this yeah same so you'll hear native speakers use both ways do we what is your advice for me I read a new vocabulary but it's got well the best and only way to learn new vocabulary is by reading and listening so if you're if we if you're studying vocabulary lists you are wasting your time and effort the best way is reading so please read or listen to you to a lot your brain is a very smart machine it will pick up grammar and vocabulary very fast give it more input tikka hello you're late no there's not there's not too many questions right now skipped a few questions maybe I'll go back I'll alphanas admit I mean how way to video call with native speaker that's difficult to video call with native speakers because native speakers don't need to practice their English so why are they gonna talk to you you gotta make a friend where can you make a friend in your area there's some clubs or groups but during corona times it's difficult uh you know every day my phone is ringing from people who want to talk to me or video call me sorry I don't have time Lakshman Poliredy hello Leila I missed a few questions I'm not answering every question Padmaji hi Alyssa as if and as though are they the same he posed as if as though he was I think they're the same he as if as though I think in this case Alyssa I don't know the grammar rule regarding this sentence structure but to me both ways work but if you're taking a test I don't know which way is the correct way but native speakers we use both ways the dentist's words made me feel delighted when he said my teeth were responding in a quick way the dentist's saying made me delighted could I know why two is wrong uh all right yeah number one is correct so we'll get rid of that the dentist's saying uh you have to know what's saying uh uh saying can be a noun so if we go to the dictionary and very quickly and we just get the definition of saying I always go to the Oxford dictionary guys all right so saying as a noun a well-known phrase or a statement that it expresses something about life that most people believe is wise and true this can include proverbs so an apple a day will keep the doctor away we can say this is a saying or a proverb so it's a well-known phrase many people know this something about life that people believe wise and true this is an apple a day will keep the doctor away you stay healthy eating something like that so that's a saying the dentist's saying doesn't work dentists don't give well-known a saying is a very common and well-known thing so right now you're treating saying as a noun here here's your verb here's your verb so in your sentence this is a noun and uh here you're saying that the dentist has a well-known phrase or statement no dentists don't have a single dentist doesn't have a well-known phrase or statement so it has to be his his words you got to put a noun all right you got to put a noun here and the noun has to be words if it's saying saying means something more famous saying that's a little complicated i hope you get it a frana it was a jumble cocktail of emotions what does it mean well did you get this from a book because a cocktail is a mixed drink and a jumble to mix things together in a confused or untidy way so cocktail and jumble both mean something is mixed so it was a jumble cocktail of emotions so i don't know what it is you didn't tell us but whatever it was you had a lot of mixed emotions a lot of emotions so maybe you're happy sad angry all together so that's that's what that would mean jonathan i've been working for the same company for nine years yeah that's right leila s was the main diary so leila has two sentences here jack came by a few minutes later jack came a few minutes later and came by is the only difference so what does came by mean you want to stress that he came to my location so wherever i am probably if i'm at home and if i said jack came by a few minutes later that means jack came to my home a few minutes later so came by means they came to my location jack came a few minutes later that could mean anything he went to work he arrived at work or home wherever so came by he came over to my let's say house he probably left so i would have to see what what kind what was written before this what was written after this to kind of understand but the sense of came by is so he came to my location wherever i was and he stayed a little bit and then he left so this has a lot of meaning that person came and visited my location and then left magna i'm sorry i don't do dictionary words you you can check the dictionary for your word magna i have part time job to earn a small amount i have all your grammar is wrong here um let's fix it up what's the difference first of all you need i have a part time job to earn a small amount of money i have a part time job to earn some pocket money uh so what is the difference between a small amount of money and pocket money well pocket money is a small amount of money so uh that just means just little little money you're not paying rent with this money uh you're just buying some food or something small so they mean basically the same thing not much money not much money in that context he was asking about the pronunciation encourages encourages so if you go to the IPA or the phonetic symbol British encourage encourage an american let's put american here we see this in encourage encourage and you get an s encourages after suffering from that sickness i can't no longer exercise could explain how to use no longer properly in a sentence well uh let's cut out the first you say i can no uh so you have a double negative you have i cannot and no longer you got cannot and no this is impossible yeah let's fix the spelling so you gotta keep that positive i can no longer exercise which is the same as i can't exercise anymore see what else i can no longer i can no longer eat junk food which is the same as i can't eat junk food anymore all right that's how we use no longer robin i think you didn't answer alissa's questions i i see no question from alissa i just see some sentences there's no question mark the truth is he's chicken out oh chicken out yes you have a job interview tomorrow don't chicken out so very often in english if you see chicken that's talking about uh it's related to uh not not being brave not being brave so we have sentences like don't be chicken someone says don't be chicken then that kind of means don't be scared something like that so yours don't chicken out again it's related so chicken out so don't chicken out don't chicken out would mean yeah same don't be scared don't be scared and not go so if he had a job interview and he chickened out that means he didn't go he didn't go because he was too scared so you have a job interview tomorrow don't chicken out which means go even if you're really scared go if you don't go that's chickening out magna i you you have to check the dictionary i'm not doing dictionary words anymore so if you got a word if you got a question about a dictionary word check the dictionary and then come back this one's from a for anna to stimulate this electrical activity even further stick uh for your this is wrong you didn't you didn't write down the sentence correct and i'm sorry stick uh fork did you mean fork i'm not sure and if it was fork i don't know what it means i don't know that sounds really strange i need more information leila all right i don't know how to use the more so example here we go let's take a look the more i read in english the more i discovered the meaning of words that's correct that's how you use it the more i listen to robin the more i get bored the more i eat junk food the more i gain weight that's that's how we say so the more i do something the more something happens that's how we say it that's a good that's a good sentence elissa i don't know that word it's probably archaic let me check that that's latin i think no i don't know that word yeah anise is fork if it's fork i i don't know what he's talking about stick a fork up your dose i was blinded and couldn't see where i was going i stopped and held out my hands i don't know how to out my hands held out my hands like that if you i'm holding out my hands now held out my hands because sure the more you speak the more you learn yes uh jonathan elissa do you mean mean uh the word we use is minute but these other words are i don't know minute which is very small all right let's see let's go back to magna's end since we got time she wants to know about wonder so i gotta go to the dictionary i don't like going to the dictionary guys uh that's just you it's up to you to go to the dictionary not me me and wonder here here well i'll just copy because i'm not i'm just gonna i'm just copy paste the dictionary guys there you go wonder copy paste to think about something and to decide what is true what will happen where is magna's sentence so magna's sentence is this i wonder what they are talking so if you wonder you think about something and try to decide what is true what will happen so please i'm not the dictionary guys when someone says i am really in pretty rough shape that means i'm very sick well uh no it could mean many things it could mean you're sick it could mean you're injured it could mean you're tired uh you're basically your body condition is not good so i don't it depends on the situation so uh it could mean all those depending on the situation but rough shape is uh your body condition is not good there are all that's wrong there are there are how about they are i think that's supposed to be they are there is no this there there are uh that's wrong leila you got to write correctly okay and uh my mother and i are mostly skirting around each other what does it mean is about the attire all right let's see skirt around well it's going to be a phrasal verb right there it's an idiom this is from the dictionary again to move around someone or something so as to avoid or evade them so it's not talking about skirts it's an idiom so remember with idioms the words and the meanings don't match so the word is skirt but it means something different this is what it means to move around someone or something so as to avoid or evade them and your sentence my mother and i are mostly skirting around each other so my guess you're move around someone to avoid or evade that person that's skirt around all right i miss you so bad i want this book so bad so this is a speaking expression so bad at the end of a sentence is going to mean i want it so so so i love you so bad that doesn't really work usually uh here i i need a vacation so bad so if i said i need a vacation so bad at the end of a sentence it all it's always this expression is always at the end of the sentence so bad uh but that means basically uh you know a lot a lot and you know it just kind of emphasizes a lot all right let's take a look at layla's she fixed it up what's the difference between they are all there they are all in there well uh in is going to be inside something they are all there could be inside something it could be outside something it could be around something they could be under something it could be over something i don't know uh but in would be inside they are all in there so maybe in the classroom but i could also say they are all there uh let's see what else can we say i checked uh i checked my i checked to see if my cars my three cars were stolen i would certainly say they are all there i checked the garage that's where i might keep to see if my three cars were stolen so now i said garage so that's a place where we keep cars now that's a building so now i might say they are all in there so now we're inside but i can also say they are all there both of these could work but you cannot use in for this one one if it's outside a friend that means they avoid each other okay let's go back to the skirt around to move around someone or something so as to avoid or evade them or it chris mean monday i often find native speakers commenting i don't know though what does though mean well that is just a quick way to text they're writing though not thought though so this is not the word this is the word they want to say but they're just doing it short style monday crispy all right guys i'm gonna finish up in the next minute one minute i'm gonna finish well i thought there's only one thing to do now could you pronounce there's only one thing there's only there's only one thing there's only one thing there's only one thing there's only one thing there's only one thing there's only one thing there's only there's only one thing okay hope that helps now i'm finishing up in 20 seconds all right bye guys take care see you in the new year or see
