[@kornilovsky17]

guys, you're making really cool lessons and i enjoy learning with you but sometimes i notice certain mistakes in pronounciation, namely, in putting stresses (on this video - maintenance, severe and others). there is no limit for perfection :)))

[@flpmartins753]

She's beautiful

[@baonguyenuc19]

ure wrong , shes very beautiful.

[@baonguyenuc19]

hehe Thanks for notice my mistake . :) I am just joking .

[@dharrvem7856]

By the way, the word "MAEL" (mael storm) was not found in the dictionary. Can you clarify this please? Thanks.

[@Julzchomovitch00]

+Dharr vem it's not mael storm it's maelstRom

[@vijayverma1984]

Video was good
Little less movements of hands could be better

[@renohuskerdu4592]

I have to disagree with gridlock. Certainly, some natives may use that word for the highway, but it's abuse. Gridlock comes from blocked intersections, when drivers enter on the green but cannot exit due to traffic, and the light turns red. The grid part refers to the grid of city streets. PM me if you want to chat. I'm an English instructor.

[@f.a5148]

RealRinoHuskerDu U R right
