Its exceptional ❤🙏🏻😃
Wow that was fabulous.
Very nice= pleasant, congenial
Very boring= tedious, uninteresting, mind-numbing
very fast= swift, rapid
Thank you Emma. I found this video informative.
I feel so awful about myself that I keep procrastinating learning new skills. But, your excellent lessons have made a gigantic impact to brush up my English. I have started to take minimal steps so that I can be consistent in the long run. You are an awesome teacher !! I want to keep learning and don't want to feel dejected being lazy.
Sorry Pragya (I am a Bong) but GIGANTIC and IMPACT can't go together, u cud have said HUGE IMPACT, also LITTLE STEPS than minimal
All the best dear
I try to put off procrastination as long as possible.
Try.. 'I want to keep learning, and don't want to feel dejected BY being lazy.'
@@sumiTRAVELogs What are you even talking about? Ms. Prajna Paramita did quite well. It seems you don't understand English that well, Sumi. You had poor punctuation skills, and you didn't even spell out your words. Learn how to properly use commas and periods. You even got her name incorrect and it was already given! Lol. Just because you're Bengali, doesn't mean you get to change the spelling of a person's name who may (or may not) be from another region or culture. How obnoxious! (General knowledge: Indian languages are interconnected, the same words may manifest in another culture/region slightly differently in writing and speech. That's a whole different lesson.) Don't go around acting like a teacher and misleading others. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying 'gigantic impact', native speakers do it casually all the time. What she said is perfectly all right. She clearly seemed enthusiastic about what she's learning as she used the words she learned in her sentences effectively. That's a sign of a great student.
Ms. Prajna Paramita, you're doing an excellent job, keep going!
Sumi, if she and you were to go to an English speaking country, she would sound much more natural compared to you. I've seen too many Indians put others down for speaking English, especially when they don't even do it that well themselves. These silly people even have CZcams channels where they try to make themselves look better than others. Sometimes, new learners are gullible, they can be easily scolded and become disheartened. Toxic people take advantage of that. It's the narcissistic holier-than-thou or superiority complex. It's obnoxious and hilarious.
Let me say this in Bengali as a "bong" who grew up in the U.S.:
Nije ondho hoye onyo-ke poth dekhate jabenna, eta apnar oshikhya'r lokhhon.
Meaning: Don't try to guide others when you're blinded by ignorance and cannot see where you're heading yourself.
@@Ishani933 oh dear, I am amazed that you could find my response after almost a year! For your kind information, I have been a Cambridge CELTA certified EFL Teacher. English might be native in the US but for sure not the way it is in the UK; also a name is a proper noun so Pooja can be Puja too, and many ppl write Pragya instead of Pragna. Anyway, stay well !
I love that you are so attentive to details and nuances. You could become a great lawyer but as a teacher you can make a greater impact. Love you lessons and your energy. Thank you
She looks dissapointed because she wasn't passed her exam. She was terrible with her studying, that's why she ask her friend to teach her with it. And finally she could passed her exam with a best final result and grade, so she looks overjoy after that. OMG miss emma it's eassy to learn with u, i'm so thankfully with all of your videos😄😄
I’m so shocked how you are able to surprise me each time with useful video. I celebrate with you the first million subscriptions and I’m still here to watch you. I moved from A1 to B2+ level and now I’m attending C1, just for passion and thanks to your motivation. Thanks Emma
Since months I had been struggling to improve my Spoken English , but when I found Emma
I was overjoyed as her lessons are so Interactive and Captivating. Her way of speaking is just awesome!!
Thank you so much Gorgeous Emma!!
I was overjoyed/thrilled by attending your class.
Love your delivery. It’s so sincere and natural, not gimmicky like some of the others I’ve watched. I learnt a great deal from your videos. Thank you! :D
Hi Emma! I fell in love with your channel when I first saw one of your videos a long time ago. I am learning every day thanks to them and I appreciate your effort, which helps us much more than you imagine. Good work, teacher. I will continue to learn from you.
Very nice = enjoyable, gratifying, delightful
Very boring = dull, tiresome, tedious
Very fast = speedy, fleet-footed
This sincere teacher's selfless struggle to teach English will be very effective for people like me, who are handicapped in English language. I am extremely obliged and thankful for her wisdom and humility.
You are an amazing and highly skilled English teacher mam. I feel like I am learning more English through your videos than I did from my entire school and college life. I love the way how you pronounce just any words uniquely. IT SOUNDS PURELY NATURAL. God bless you mam and stay as energetic as you are.
I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you for the additional knowledge 😊 your discussion is so awesome!!
Good session Emma!! Thank you so much 😊 wish I had an English teacher like you in my school days ♥️
I speak English as my first language. This idea about overuse of "very" occured to me recently, so thank you for confirming this idea. Becoming better as a writer began years ago when I stopped using "always" and "never" as a substitute for better words. Instead, I try to use words like "often" or "rarely". Very is a good word. But it can be over used. This is an excellent lesson for English and non-English speaking people.
I don’t know how you can have so many facial expressions to match each word, you can demonstrate the slightest difference just by your expression. So lively and amazing 😂
As usual, a marvelous class of yours! Thanks Emma!
I really enjoyed this lesson. You've such brilliant ways of explaining which better words to include our vocabulary and how to use them in our casual conversations. It's fantastic 😊👌. Other alternatives of "very good" : brilliant, epic.
Other alternative of "very bad" : hectic.
Hi ,I am Mayandi from Sri Lanka .I am 12 .I 'm quite an excellent English speaker my self but I am looking for more ways to improve and your channel has been a fantastic support for me .Thank you Emma😘
I just came accidentally across your classes, starting with Australian slang, which was quite educating. Then popped up your lesson on conversations - I liked that too. Next was the lesson on adjectives - it was lovely. Afterwards I decided to subscribe. Now, I will visit your channel more often - you are excellent. English is not my first language therefore I am eager to learn more.
Thank you.
I needed such a "stunning English teacher" to encourage me to extend my vocabulary limit 😎
Spotless, hideous, beautiful, disappointed, awful, massive, great, thrilled..... Thank you so much Emma😊💐
Emma, you are an amazing teacher !Thank you for helping me to refresh my English cause I am not a native speaker !I miss no lesson of yours!
Exceptional lesson. I'm thrilled to have come across your video. There's an enormous bunch of words that I would love to learn. A huge thank you. You are brilliant and stunning 😃
Amazing and interesting lesson about how to avoid "very" and use other words. I appreciate your efforts and know the many other alternative with your lesson.
Very bad alternatives:
1. Disgraceful.
2. Pitiful.
3. Rubbish.
4. Poor.
5. Deplorable.
Thanks and regards.
Oitihasik
What an incredible list! For very bad rotten can also be used.
Your teaching style is absolutely spanking!!!
Your voice tune is too good. Thanks for making and sharing this video with us.
I'm so thankful enough Emma for teaching us today . God bless you and more power .
You are offically one of my favorite English teachers from now on.
You make these lessons valuable with your facial expressions and gestures !! It's just fun to follow !!
Your lessons are enjoyable and it goes straight into the mind!!
I started watching you, just a week before. I'm addicted to this... Your way of teaching is so great...Love and prayers from India.
Such a great help thank you so much I’m learning a lot instead of using normal boring repetitive adjectives! More power to you.🤗🥰
Thank you Emm, It is really Amazing vocabulary that most of them I have never seen before. I really appreciate you .
Hello Emma again! The moment where you uploaded the video, I have taken a stroll around the park to get some fresh air. But I’m dying for watching your English lessons more than other my routines. Then firstly I’m on a bench and watching this incredible video.❤️
hehe... I can imagine you watching on a park bench! I hope the weather was lovely ☀️
@@mmmEnglish_Emma yep! The explanation was really something ‘n’ the weather was picture perfect to listen to you. Thank you very much kind words of you.❤️
When I was told that I failed my CDL final test I was so dejected and disapointed. Now I'm learning how to up great my english skill level, than I am so excited to found miss Emma the most wondeful english teacher.
This channel is awesome. It has been helping me so much with vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar. finally, she speaks clearly as well I can understand 70% I guess, even i have a poor level in English.
Hi, Emma, this video is epic. I can't thank you enough for your valuable work. Furthermore, your lessons are a cut above the rest and, in these difficult times, to say the least, they help us to bite the bullet and give us a new lease of life.
Hello
Hello Emma, this lesson is phenomenal. Love you 💞 but I have a small request, I don't know if this is appropriate to ask but I feel like I do instead of making the same mistakes over and over😅. If you could give a lesson on linking words and how it effects the logical flow of the sentence making it more readable, it will do a great help for me. Thanking you in advance 🙏
I adore your channel. I honestly do. You've got a knack for teaching English to foreigners! You're an excellent teacher! I take my hat off to you, Emma! :)
Greetings from Italy! :)
Gabriele
Hello Emma!
I believe that your videos are helpful and fantastic. I am watching them because I need to improve my English . I am grateful about your help!
I've loved this lesson and of course I need to continue practicing. Thanks a lot Emma 🤘🏼🤘🏼
My stock of vocabulary words is limited. I am trying to increase it through my favorite Teacher EMMA'S amazing vocabulary lesson. Her pronunciation is clear and better to understand, and her style of sounding the word mmmEnglish brings JOY to us. We are with MMMENGLISH. We LOVE this language.
Thank you for your excellent lessons. It helps me a lot. I'm thankful that I found your channel😊 I got thrilled, excited to watch your vids to learn more. Btw, your smile was stunning, and the way you speak-it's awe-inspiring.
Thank you for this extremely helpful video and I realise that it's an old one; however, I want to mention that I've often held back on using stronger words instead of very, or even really, because it can seem like I'm exaggerating!
I have been accused of being dramatic by a person, who used to correct and criticise me regularly, yet it was okay for her to do whatever.
I'm pleased that I have your "permission" to use other words when necessary and it doesn't mean that I'm overdoing it at all. 😊
Thanks Emma, your classes are amazing 😀
Thank you so much Ms. Emma in this listening so beautiful
Mr. Brown is a generous man, has he always ready to reach out to people
I've just discovered your channel and I think you are a marvellous English teacher. I'm very thankful for your lessons. I've been stuck with the level I'm at for quite a while. I can now see the potential for improvement by taking your lessons. Is there any way I can reward you for your work?
I’m so overjoyed with this class! ❤️
I never get fade up of your classes Miss Emma.
I learn new content whenever I pay attention.
You're doing a life changing job.
I am overjoyed. Thank you so much 💖
Hi Emma,
Thanks for the fantastis lesson. I would like to try out the adjectives as follows.
Very Happy-
1. She was thrilled when she finally finished up all the school assignments given for this Christmas holidays.
2. He looked elated because the cabbage seeds were sprouting nicely.
3. Henry was ecstatic when his mother allowed him to stay back for sleepover with us which we had not done for awhile and the last one we had was marvelous.
Very sad -
1. When her cute little puppy was dead of overeating, she was devastated and heartbroken.
2. When the computer battery went flat and the screen turned blackout instantly before she managed to save the work she had been preparing the whole morning, she was devastated. The prospect of rewriting the whole story again was dreadful and she felt crestfallen.
Very bad -
1. The dinner meal she prepared tonight was disgusting. It tasted awful and made me want to vomit.
2. His new boss is atrocious and not many would stand his appalling temper.
Very big -
1. That is an enormous cake and can easily last us for a few days. I think we should consider the one on the left which is perfect size for the party tonight.
2. The house she lives in now is massive. There are five large bedrooms and each has attached bathrooms with sophistacated zakusi. She must be expecting a huge family after her wedding.
Very pretty
1. Even though the dress is not from famous designer but more importantly, you look elegant and exquite in it.
Very ugly
1. Sometimes the busy hairstyle may make us look hideous. I like it clean cut and neat.
2. The huge grotesque iron gate reminds me of the abandoned haunted house the other day we passed by.
I do appreciate you sharing this with me, I have enjoyed it greatly. I feel like creating more opportunities to truly keep up on a conversation, but at times, I sense myself empty of words. Please share with us more ways of creating a positive response type of conversation when being approach by a negative communicator. I certainly know how to do so in my native language, Portuguese, but in English I have just fund out I am in need of being enriched in your idiom. :-)
ADORABLE teacher,the splendid skills that you had been showing through out the presentation added lots of thrilled impressions to our lives.god bless you

Hi Emma! I just watch your lessons to enjoy you. You can believe me that I would prefer your videos on a Netflix movie.
Love you so much and thanks for sharing such amazing lessons with us.
Ma'am your way of explanation is fabulous!!!! I learnt many new words from this video.. it's my humble petition to you keep posting all these types of videos!!!
Your performance is being excellent and wonderfull, I really enjoy in watching it becouse as I said before you are the best
Hi Teacher!!! This is an amazing lesson. Quite useful to enrich vocabulary!!!
It was an exquisite English sound!!!
In my country we use wingsfallen instead of crestfallen, and atrocious is mostly used to describe cruel acts. Also when someone is very hungry, he says my hunger is atrocious. Marvelous lesson!!! It's worth to copy all of these words and study them.
Fantastic, you’re the best
Hi Emma, I have just found you out and I am really fascinated by your videos... They are gorgeous! Congratulations! I will keep following them!
You are fantastic. This is exactly what I’m looking for👍🏼 I learned some new vocabulary today on the lesson

You are amazing Anna. Love you
Thank you so much, I'm learning a lot of new words...... and when I use those words, I feel so confident!!!
I was waiting for guests yesterday. But they couldn't come. I was so disappointed.
I met my dear old friend last week. I was overjoyed for the talking with him!
As long as you pass your exam you will feel elated.
Hi Emma, I love the way you explaining different vocabulary. It makes me understand the real meaning of the specific word. For example thrilled; I never knew the real meaning behind it is really happy + excited. Can you please teach us more about it in the future? Like the specific word which has a strong meaning or what types/ kinds of emotions/ feelings its included. Cuz I'm struggling to understand different vocabulary that have the same meaning but at the meantime it has a different meaning (sorry if I've confused you). Just like the way you're explaining very happy in this video.
It was an incredible lesson, thank you, Emma! I think that I should learn with you every day to improve my English skills.
it is a fantastic and splendid lesson where you have the opportunities to use, for the some situation, differents words that allow you to emprove your english.
Excellent!!!
Another fantastic lesson for my horrible english.😊 Thanks Emma!❤️
For very happy we can also use
