your country too that is my top dream in my life to be able to see you face-to-face and sleep Walker hello happy New Year happy happy happy New Year New Year's Eve I did nothing I just prepared scripts I'm gonna start filming videos tomorrow for January-February I'm filming a lot of videos for shot English I got a lot of new excellent teachers it's exciting I'm gonna be busy for January-February getting those videos made but and I gotta spend a lot of money wow I gotta spend about I'm gonna tell you guys here $10,000 to get new videos made in studio it's gonna be expensive okay let's let's see we guys got questions Leila has a question of course let's see if we got the whiteboard ready my whiteboard my digital whiteboard get that set up this was last week's question let's get rid of that all right now I'm ready now I'm ready for what you have lost the chat this is the chat okay back here all right now I'm ready sorry all right so the questions which one is correct let's put that up on the board okay now I'm slowly getting organized here which one is correct his English is not as good as mine his English is not good as mine while you're doing a comparison and let's just clear this up and let's make that a question so Leila I think your level you know the answer when we're doing a comparison we need as and as so this one is correct this top one his English is not as good as mine or my English so this is correct now this one his English is not good as mine this is wrong all right so we need that as as good as as tall as for a comparison of similar things so let's just make a new so this is wrong let's make a new sentence he is as tall as me she is as poor as me the cat is as friendly as the dog all right in each case we need that as as for comparison okay cb what is your favorite quotes cb I'm not really inspirational person so you put s I'm gonna fix your question though you put s here which means plural so we got to check this b-verb so it should be what are your favorite quotes so quotes are usually inspirational inspirational they're trying to encourage you they're trying to be positive they're trying to inspire you to give you the energy to do something so quotes are usually inspirational and I don't really I'm not a fan of inspirational quotes I don't really I always see them on Instagram and Facebook but I'm really I usually don't care about inspirational quotes so what is my fate what are your favorite quotes or what is your favorite quote nothing comes to mind because I don't really follow that so cb why don't you tell me your favorite quote pretty you would I would really love if you come to Kuwait to see me I would Kuwait that's a great place and Michelle you're welcome yeah good Michelle I hope to be there and Kavinu sir if you can please put my videos into your WhatsApp group I'd like to give others an opportunity to watch my videos well Kavinu I don't advertise I don't advertise my videos in the WhatsApp group the WhatsApp group is just for practice so I don't really do any marketing there I didn't even usually Layla posts my videos but I don't post my videos in the WhatsApp group so Kavinu I don't market in the WhatsApp group usually I try to keep that just for speaking practicing things like that alright sleep sleepwalker has okay I saw your message Layla sleepwalker has a question here I remembered about this weekend fondly okay interesting I always think of you fondly do I use fondly correctly yes I remember about this weekend fondly or this is the premier let's say that weekend if we're talking about the past something in the past because you have the ED here something in the past I remembered about that weekend in the past we wouldn't say this weekend because that's more of a upcoming in the future so I remembered about that weekend fondly so use a fondly correctly but this should be a that and the second sentence I always think of you fondly looks great great way to use it so for number two are you talking about me sleepwalker I hope you're talking about me Layla even while speaking we can't say for example he is as good as mine he is as good he is well this is a different sentence he is as good as me we would say we can say yeah when you're speaking we can say he's he is as good as me at tennis for example or English he is he's well we if we're speaking let's use a contraction he's as good as me at English you can say that I can't believe her she always lies to me this is a conversation I can't believe her she always lies to me this time she tells the truth just take my words for it take my word for it that's usually the expression take my word for it I don't know if I use take okay yeah so yeah don't put the S the the expression is it's the idiom take my word for it it's an idiom we cannot put words we just use word as singular take my word for me when it me just take my word for it means trust me take my word for it that means trust me that's the idiom that means trust me you cannot change it to take my words for it it's always take my word for it take my word for it trust me accounts help by VJ sir has a question let's put it up here sir please call me Robin what is you're gonna fix it here let's fix Robin what is the difference between fix up your question and you have your examples here so let's put a colon there shirt is washed and shirt has been washed okay you got two grammar forms so let's make this a better sentence this shirt is washed this shirt has been washed so what's the difference well the grammar is the different you're doing using two grammar forms so if you're using this one you know how can explain it when when we're using English grammar you can use different grammar forms to say the same thing right and you're doing that right now both of these sentence means the same thing technically they're a little bit different in the in the exact meaning of what you're trying to say but basically if you're talking in a conversation then it means the same thing so this this shirt is washed you're saying the shirt is clean it's washed and this shirt has been washed you're focusing more on the activity of washing the shirt but in both cases they mean the same thing this shirt is washed this shirt has been washed so it's two grammar ways it means the same thing this one would just be for focusing more on the timeline that it has been washed in the past so maybe the time is more of the focus here and the water or when when you're focusing that the shirt has been washed in a previous time and the focus here is just more of a statement of a fact but basically it's the same thing if you're on a test and you got to say exactly what what they're different what makes them different I would need a little more research and we comes in I want to know what are different using what is the difference so we just want to what is the difference what is the difference difference using words all right so what is the difference between the words big huge massive and how to use in a sentence all right well let's use a scale and I'm gonna add a few more words enormous massive huge big maybe massive is above enormous there's other words I don't have them all gigantic gigantic what else can we use so they're all adjectives to describe something that's very big so if we want to describe really big massive or enormous so if we talk about the earth our planet it's massive it's so big okay we would not say you would not say the turtle is massive turtles are small yeah you can have a big turtle but usually turtles are not massive the earth is a big thing it's massive the Sun is massive we could also describe maybe a headache oh I have a massive headache you just want to emphasize it's really really big headache so massive enormous also really big you know I could I could say like an elephant an elephant is enormous compared to a rabbit okay so the earth is massive an elephant is enormous compared to a rabbit would I say an elephant is massive probably not I would I would use enormous for an elephant or big gigantic maybe gigantic you know I don't know is it might be a little bigger than enormous so what's gigantic what's gigantic the tree in my yard is gigantic so the earth is massive so something really big that's gonna be top there the tree in my yard is gigantic so compared to other trees it's a really big tree an elephant is enormous can I say an elephant is massive not really you you can technically you can but native speakers don't usually say elephants are massive our elephants gigantic you can but I think enormous is more fitting for elephant and then we get to huge which is less definitely huge is less than massive gigantic enormous than huge it's just big it's like a really big and then big and there's also large just just those are the most common ones just to say you know an elephant is big big can be used for anything the earth is big that tree is big so they're more these ones are more general just used for anything to say it's it's big and then if you want to get specific massive gigantic enormous these are other adjectives to use to eat so I hope that helps you out and we could go down the list to large maybe average is middle and then small and then tiny and then minute minuscule I don't know how to spell that this looks like great school so if we you know there's other adjectives I didn't list them all but you got small tiny miniscule is like very very small so massive and miniscule miniscule is a little difficult to say how about every one repeat after me miniscule miniscule miniscule massive gigantic enormous huge big large average small tiny don't say teeny this is tiny miniscule all right I gotta move on to me I hope that answered your question and Layla has another dialogue a says how long have you worked at being a fireman B since I was 20 10 years ago I think this okay I think the second sentence means I was 20 or 10 years ago but I'm not sure what it means so since I was 20 10 years ago so that means now his age or her age is 30 so how long have you been a fireman or how long have you worked at being a fireman since I was 20 10 years ago so he could always he could say for 10 years but he for whatever reason wants to begin with since and put their age but you he could just say for 10 years teacher Robin give me suggest how I can make change from active voice become passive voice well I am an expert on this topic I would do it quickly so I mean you know you can't do it with every verb there's you know a lot of verbs you can do it so I kicked my dog so this is the active voice we have what we call the doer the person doing the action and that's also the subject and we have the receiver something is happening to that thing or person or animal so we have the doer first and then we have the receiver now this goes subject verb object this is your subject this is the verb kick and what are you gonna kick that's your object but let's not worry about that so when we want to make it passive we focus on the receiver what's happening to something so in this case we want to make it passive we have to focus on the receiver of the action which is the doc my doc now we want to take our verb which is kicked and we got to use the B verb here so we got to use M is our variation of that and in this case because this was past tense I kicked my dog we're gonna use past tense of B verb here past tense of the B verb is was so I kicked my dog my dog was kicked past participle was kicked you're always gonna have a B verb kicked and then by me so who did it by me now sometimes in the passive voice we don't put the doer so this is confusing point sometimes we don't put the doer we just we just say oh my dog was kicked but in today we're gonna put by me all right so that's a quick way of making passive voice very quickly different grammar form she she was cleaning her room so our can a continuous tense she was cleaning her room so again make it passive she is the doer what is she doing cleaning the what is getting the cleaning the room so well let's focus on the the receiver the room was was and then this is where it's tricky I can't go into detail we have cleaning the continuous form of the B verb the continuous form is being and past participle cleaned by her she was cleaning her room the room was being cleaned by her all right so we're using the same tense here I and she continuous okay that was a quick quick lesson about passive voice I hope that helps Leila could you please explain that expression after searching Robin said sorry I can't find the clear answer I guess you got on me this time does God on me no you beat you beat me no I'm not sure what you said could you please explain that expression after searching Robin said sorry I can't find the clear answer I guess you got maybe I want to say you got me maybe I said this you got me so you got me means you okay say this in easy words so we usually you made me fail it's not negative it's it's it's just for fun you say oh you got me you got me so you you made me to fail or not succeeded something in a light way it's not negative so so if someone asks a question and I cannot answer you know they ask me an English question and you know I'm the English teacher I'm supposed to know everything about English but sometimes people ask me a question and I don't know the answer I might say ah you got me so you made me fail in a more positive way kind of funny way because I'm supposed to know but I don't know okay so you heard that last week okay oh sleepwalker so which verbs can we also use with fondly well I don't know all the verbs so I'll just do a quick check there's many I don't really see a list so he welcomed me fondly that might be possible but usually as you already know we generally use that with remember fondly and I think of that person fondly I can't think of other verb there's probably some other verbs but not many not many that we use fondly with your right but I don't I can't sorry you got me I cannot think of all the verbs right now because I'm too old and my mind cannot carry all that information I would need to search but when I search I do not see a list of verbs connected with but the list will be short I don't see any list yeah it's not gonna be many verbs probably less than 10 probably less than five but I don't know Kovino sir could you please explain something about wh questions you know that's that's Kovino I'd like to help but that is maybe too big of a question for the live stream because you know we have what when where who why we can also include how is kind of the question form wh questions so I really don't have time to go through all of these and explain but I'll just write an example sentence what is it so what focusing more on a thing when is it focusing on time when is it where is it focusing on where I sit where is it focusing on location where where location who is it focusing on person why you know the reason the reason and how you know the how is what what's what's another word that means how I want to explain how with how so how how you know the the the events that make it happen what occurred to make it happen so I can't really go into all of these in detail just what focus on the thing or event when time where location who person why reason and how how did it happen okay Kovino that's all I can do if you have example sentences please tell me ladies is if I say his drawing is not good not as I just thought you you need not as good as mine is it oh is right you know it's wrong okay but is okay during chatting well yeah if you're if you if you're chatting you can say his drawing not good you know who cares about the grammar if you're chatting but I have to teach the correct way and the correct way is not as as good as mine so while speaking chatting there's no rules for chatting you can do anything you want with chatting hello Palavi you came in to say hi and maybe you're gone already I don't know Ravin pad Padvy hello and TIGERF ESD from Tamil hello welcome welcome welcome take out a little break here oh sleepwalker you caught me equals you got me yeah that can also mean you got me has many meetings I didn't go through them all yeah this is this is also possible you caught me you got me got God has many meetings and in this case yeah you caught me you catch me last week my brother challenged me to speak only in English for one hour and a half good then I did it good I only asked dictionary for I only asked this issue we don't say acid dictionary you I guess if you spoke to dictionary hey dictionary but usually we check I only checked the dictionary for we don't need to say for helping I know use your why you checked the dictionary so I only checked the dictionary for some words which I okay so we're talking about last week so we got to say didn't know what do you think okay well I think that's really good in in some families you know in some families and the raising children they'll go they'll make a schedule like this so I'll use Korean example so there's a Korean family or let's say there's a Korean woman and they married a Japanese man and these families are very interesting because they will make rules Monday when they speak to the kids only Korean Tuesday Korean Wednesday only Japanese Thursday only Japanese and then Friday Saturday Sunday only English so I I've seen families that make schedules like this so the schedule be on the wall and in that house on those days they only speak that language so these kids can grow up to be trilingual they speak three languages fluently so you're doing it an hour and a half that's excellent why not why not two hours why not three hours why not one day in your whole house everyone must speak English every Saturday for example I haven't seen you I haven't seen you for about one year I haven't seen you almost one year probably gonna stick for again I haven't seen you again we're gonna use for I haven't seen you again we're gonna use for look this is a nuance okay let's take a look I put the four in the wrong location for all right let's take a look I haven't seen you for about one year so about this could be 11 months it could be 13 months it's very close to 365 days so in this case 365 days is one year so I haven't seen you for about a year for about 365 days of course it might be 340 days or it might be 370 days about about I haven't seen you for almost one year so less than 365 days let's change the color so not more than 365 so an example might 350 days which is almost one year or 300 310 days which is almost one year but it's not not 370 days okay can't be that that would be over one year so we'll just put 360 less than 365 days I haven't seen you for around one year and I think about and around are gonna be the same so these two I'll just put as the same color and I haven't seen you for over one year so that's more than more than 365 days so that would be maybe 400 days or 500 days I'll just change that so in conclusion around and about around that time it could be more than a little bit more than 365 a little bit less than 365 and then almost not yet one year not yet but getting close and for over is more than one year okay Claudia the manner what does that mean Claudia yes I noticed that not every verb is suitable with fondly not every combination sounds naturally thanks anyway yeah that's a difficult one because we usually use it only with remember and think fondly I don't personally I don't use it that much I guess I don't think of many people fondly but it's just if you have a good memory of someone so if I go back into my past and I'm trying to think of like my grandparents I think when I think of them I think of them fondly something like that how long have you been here how long well how long equals how much time how much time so so if someone asked a how long have you been here remember this is a question we need a question mark in B might say for three hours as an answer so how long have you been here they're talking about time so the duration we're gonna use for Muhammad Nazur how are you I hope by the grace of God you are heal and healthy thank you Muhammad but I'm gonna fix up your sentence because that's what I do that's what I do this is perfect hi how are you well this does not need to be a capital letter hi how are you I'm well I hope by the grace of God you are heal and healthy okay now this part doesn't make sense you are heal we don't use that in English so I'm this doesn't make sense to me I don't understand that because we will just you are healthy that's what you want to say healthy that means I am good health I hope by the grace of God you're healthy I'm very healthy thank you is it correct to say I have a huge passion for learning I'm gonna put a four I have a huge passion for we usually say for after passion or it's or it's only I have a huge passion for okay you I answered for use for I have a huge passion for learning English that's what you want to say all right Farida let's take a look I'd like to make a schedule like the schedule you mentioned but sadly no one in my house is that good at English as is that good at no one in my house is you don't want to say that you want to say as this is the comparison that we're talking about earlier with lay this question as an ass not that an ass as an ass so no one in my house is as good at English as me yeah I understand lots of people that's a great schedule that helps the children to grow up to be fluid but if you're in a family nobody else speaks English but you can do that with your friends is possible chatting with your friends if you have another friend that speaks English you could say hey when we chat let's only use English or or if we talk to each other hey let's practice English you know I will have some friends Korean friends I know they speak English but I'll say hey let's just speak in Korean so I end up speaking English English is always capital with myself and my mom thinks I've lost my mind maybe you have if you're talking to yourself in English well it's good you're talking to yourself in English who cares what mom thinks keep going maybe your mom will learn English too all right Leila what do you got what do you have for me is it correct if I say maybe this example we are six hours of no there's something wrong here I'll fix it in a moment and could it be the same meaning as could it be the same meaning of there are six hours left to start okay we are six hours away from 2020 2022 so I'm gonna move that away usually we're gonna use away after the time it's red I want to change the color I'll just change them all so if you're using a time expression away usually comes immediately after the time expression and you want to say left leave left yeah that's fine there are six hours left to start 2022 I would say there are six hours left before we start 2020 there's many ways you could actually express this there are six hours left but that means the same thing that means the same thing Leila again hey Fanny I see you are both questions correct all right let's take a look can you see me a little bit better can you see me much better uh yeah a little bit uh can you uh I think this one is better can you see me a little bit better can you see me much better uh this seems a little awkward so I'll say this this is better can you see me a little bit better and sleepwalker how well we don't I don't want to read how many days off does Korea have after New Year celebration in January well in Asia you know there's the two new years there's solar new year which follows the sun and there's lunar new year which follows the moon let's put that capital so in Asia like uh China and Korea and maybe Vietnam and Malaysia they usually follow the lunar new year that's the big holiday so that is uh I think the beginning of February that's the big holiday that's the biggest holiday so that's going to begin begin around February the beginning of February now do they get days off for the solar new year no that's not really a big holiday uh it is a red day so this year it's it's on a Saturday so already people are not working but if it's on another day of the week yeah it is a holiday just one day uh so this is a one day holiday and this is like a five day holiday so this is the big one fanny fanny fanny fanny to use the word keep is it always followed by ing like keep massaging uh I like to keep my keys in my pocket so the answer is no I'm gonna you can use the the gerund ing or just to keep the infinitive so I like to keep my keys in my pocket or I like keep you can use I like keeping my keys in my pocket you can use both forms here I like to keep my keys in my pocket I like keeping my keys in my pocket uh I like to keep massaging you okay I hope that answers your question so the answer is no you can use to keep currently I try to use my English most of the time with my brother but my sister does no English well so I should turn to error so I should return or here a better switch this is a better expression switch back so you're speaking English and you switch back to your normal language Arabic so I should switch back to Arabic Farida is it correct to say my hands and feet are tiny yes that is correct that sentence is find your hands and feet are tiny very small and Kavinu sir doesn't teach your ester participate we will put in these kinds of live streams well Kavinu ester yeah she used to do live streams a couple years ago but there's two problems with ester doing live streams and it's not her fault live streams require a lot of technical knowledge so you have to be able to set up a camera you set up the mic a good mic you have to manage the chat room you have to manage the live stream program there's a lot of things to do and know with the live stream and for me it's easy because actually I have three monitors so I have a small monitor here I have a monitor here and I have a monitor here so I can look at the chat I can teach on the board and if I want to use this for research or something so it's very easy for me to do live stream with other people if you only have one monitor and in ester's case she only has one laptop small laptop so it's very difficult to use this technically and the second problem for ester to be here is she's too famous I'm not famous ester's too famous so if ester does live stream too many people come on most of them are good people but there's a lot of bad people that come on and ester's a woman and so she might get a lot of harassment people bothering her so it's very difficult you know I'm a tough guy sometimes bad people come in they say bad things I don't care it happens almost every week but you know ester she's she's a very nice woman and sometimes people say bad things and you know you know it's emotionally troubling sometimes so hopefully we will do some live streams with ester in the future but probably not on this channel not yet oh so Russia they follow the solar new year wow that's a big holiday do the Russia does Russia have a Thanksgiving type holiday because the big holidays in Canada or the US are Christmas and Thanksgiving so these these are the big holidays in USA, Canada, Western countries Korea which is Asia is Korean Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year the beginning of February these are the two big holidays so I'm curious Russia I get a guess the one big holiday is the Lunar New Year so I'm wondering if you have another big holiday what is it what is it he decided to get married that would be a big change or transformation or shift in his life excuse me all of those are synonyms in descendants you could use them all but you want more fit we should which one is the best fit or which one more fits oh not this more fits to use no more I think the best fit is a better which one is the best fit to use in this case I like change I like transformation so I would say change or transformation shift is possible but that's not the best so I would say change is the easiest so I'll just say change is number one transformation is a big word but you can use it it makes sense so these two are great shift not so much Mohammed Nazour let's take a look at your question explain the difference between these sentences how are you okay how are you doing are these two sentences meanings the same well hmm yes and no are they the same they can be you you meet someone hey how are you hey how are you doing it's just a greeting checking on the health and the answer how you're doing I'm great how are you I'm great the answer can be the same let's just I'm great where I'll just put the simple I'm fine I'm fine how are you doing I'm fine so I'd say generally speaking they're exactly the same but sometimes how are you doing like when you're greeting someone if I go to the office and I see my co-worker I might say good morning how are you doing it's more of a greeting not a question right I expect them just to say I'm fine I don't expect them to say oh I have so many problems in my life with my wife and kids and you know these are these are not real questions to find out the real answers their greetings just kind of high but sometimes with your friend you really want to know about their life you might ask how are you doing so for example I heard your father passed away how are you doing so in this case yeah you really want to know the answer and that person I'm doing fine I'm doing well or I'm not doing well it's more a sincere question so most of the time it's just a greeting means the same thing how are you how are you doing just hello but you can use them uh if with your friends or people to find out more information not as hello okay so I hope that helps I'm answering every question today so I'm doing better than last week sleepwalker I remember Esther's live you remember those she did it sometime maybe three years ago sleepwalker no Thanksgiving holiday in Russia while Russia sounds like a terrible place right you know sleepwalker I've never been to Russia yet so I'm going to tell you my impression of Russia and you can laugh but don't get upset I've never been there so when I think of Russia I think of Russia as depressing why do I think Russia is depressing because I think it's cold uh it's dark and the the quality of life is difficult it seems like everything is difficult to do in Russia I could be wrong it's you can tell me the truth but so my impression of Russia is yeah it's depressing and cold and difficult to live there and now that you told me there's no Thanksgiving holiday uh so I wonder you know later I see we have a lot of days off in May two but New Year's holiday is the biggest okay so May something's happening I'm thinking maybe that you work too much in Russia sleepwalker what's your impression of Canada me too like to maintain a chat with everyone loves Esther more than me Esther is more popular than me maybe because most of your viewers on your channel are males yep that's right shy english has about 66 percent males 70 percent males Mohammed if bad people join in your live class have you option to exit from live session or block them that's an interesting question Mohammed and I'm going to put that up on the board so if bad people join you in your your live class and we're going to change this to do you have an option to exit we're going to say kick them out from the live session whoops do you have an option to kick them out from the live session or block them okay so I fixed up your question good question if if bad people join you in your live class that's more I'm going to put a comma there because it's if statement we need this comma if bad people join you in your live class do you have do you have an option to kick them out of the live session or block them and the answer is yes so in the chat here you students do not see every message so when people use bad words I can see them you cannot see them so they're filtered I see everything you you students see only the good stuff so sometimes I'm teaching and someone will come in and they'll start typing really bad words and I could see them in the chat and usually yes I kick them out block them do whatever I can to get rid of them Alyssa hello Robin I am using inadvertently correctly I am inadvertently elbowed I inadvertently elbowed the guy next to me uh yes and no that's a big word so we're gonna get the other oops so inadvertently uh to the other students let's make sure the other students know what this is inadvertently that's a big word and you you you heard me it was difficult to say but I know how to say it just I haven't been saying it for very often I inadvertently elbowed the guy next to me inadvertently inadvertently and the meaning of inadvertently inadvertently is without intention accidentally so Alyssa is asking did I use this sentence correctly now yes you did use this sentence correctly but accidentally is a is a better word inadvertently when do we use inadvertently well I'm gonna go to Euglish to see I type in inadvertently in Euglish York the park inadvertently we're gonna learn because inadvertently they were doing something that we this was more formal speech this so we minimize people formal speech holistic approach this is formal but inadvertently this is formal all right so I right I just clicked through a few videos of people using inadvertently and it was always kind of in a formal formal situation so if you're talking to your friend or casually uh the better word is just to say accidentally I accidentally elbowed the guy next to me that would be more common if you used inadvertently that's a little more formal that's not wrong but it's a good word to know Lionel Messi wow we got famous people here uh how do speaking fluently I'll get to you in a moment Lionel uh we're looking at Fenny's here he has you blocked does it mean the same as he has blocked yeah he has you blocked does it mean the same as he has blocked you yeah yeah I have no he blocked you he has you blocked means he blocked you you didn't block him he blocked you so the the first two are the same he has blocked you he has you blocked he has blocked you so different grammar forms meaning the same thing and this is different okay so how to speak English fluently that's a big question Lionel because fluently is like me I almost need a speaker uh so Lionel the truth is if you want to speak fluently uh it's very difficult if you do not live in an English speaking country I'm going to be honest uh if you're not living in Canada or United States or Australia New Zealand UK it's really hard to hit the fluently level because you don't have enough opportunity if you are living in an English speaking country then yeah you can speak speak fluently a little longer you're there now if you're not living in an English speaking country you can keep increasing your level uh by studying English every day you know it's up to you to put in the work you'll gradually get better but yeah you can be fluent in your country but you gotta you gotta it's you you say how to speak English fluently so you know students ask me this every day of my life whether it's in uh youtube or whatsapp or facebook how to speak English fluently we know it's easy to you know how to speak English fluently you gotta practice reading writing speaking listening you gotta practice every day so I think a better question how much do I need to study to speak fluently so I think this is a better question I would love to answer this question how much do I need to study to speak English fluently let's put an English in there and then I would say uh well now you understand that you need to study to speak English fluently and I would say uh three four five hours every day would be a good start if you don't want to put you know probably the average person is spending one or two hours a week studying English you're never going to be fluent if you're only doing one or two hours a week hours every day if you want to be fluent uh but I usually don't tell my students you don't need to be fluent uh I like advanced level you know I you know it would be great if everyone had six hours every day to study English but I know you have other obligations and jobs and a family and that's not possible and English can be boring sometimes so I always tell people hey look get an advanced level and this is not you don't need to be fluent uh this is more of the international standard so in business English this is uh good enough good enough you can talk communicate with everyone you can understand will you understand a Hollywood movie 100% no do you need to understand a Hollywood movie 100% no so if your goal is to study English to listen and watch Hollywood movies that's not the right motives your goal should be more of I need to be a student I need to study or I need to have a job these are real motives I need to study I need to understand Hollywood movie no no that's not that's not a goal that's not a practical goal let's let's learn English to work be a be a student or in business if someone understands a Hollywood movie 100% that doesn't mean they they can understand everything in university that doesn't mean they can study anything in the business world that doesn't mean they'll get a good IELTS score so you know a lot of fluent people do not score well on IELTS so this is a more practical level is more it's a level that will change your life Hollywood movie watching Hollywood movies do not change your life all right I got to move on I'm going to finish up in a few minutes so at this point stop I'll get down there I learned English over 10 years well yeah can't speak fluently yeah it's difficult you got to get more opportunities but Lionel Messi I think you're doing a good job I you're not basic so 10 years you have improved you might not be at the level you want to be but Lionel Messi you're here now watching me trying to get better so you are already better than most of the English learners around the world because they're not learning right now they're not you they're not they're not watching my live stream they're watching Netflix so Lionel Messi you're already doing more better sleepwalker Robin just come to Russia in summer June July August it's warm even hot here our people have big souls don't be afraid well I'm not afraid yeah if I went to Russia I would not go in the winter I I have a personal rule not to visit cold countries in the in the in the winter including Canada I don't want to experience the cold weather Frida as a teenage girl I've been through some harassment young boys but I just be so average to them and they'd be like you're not a girl just a thug women are supposed to be strong and savage okay is there as a teenage okay we don't say teenager girl we just as an adjective teenage girl as a teenage girl I've been through some harassment by young boys but I just be so savage but I just be I am so savage to them so savage you mean really tough and strong and they're they're like I'm gonna take out this B so I took out both B's because you have R here that's the B verb you don't need to say RB you just need the B verb once so they are like you're not a girl you're just a thug and there's a good word a thug is kind of a tough guy likes to fight so women are supposed to be strong and savage uh savage is a little wild but uh Frida wherever you any woman watching I would suggest be strong in life of course men are uh not going to be nice to you and you have to fight for your for your uh yourself for your pride for your voice you've got to fight more than men sleepwalk well as I know in Canada there are a lot of snow and in winter too you like hockey yes
