In September, I"m going to Minnesota on my vacation, and I have been studing to refresh all those grammar rules and all tips and ideas that can help me have a good and understandable conversation. 😂😂 It has been hard to learn and remember, but I hope to do well when I meet my friends in Minnesota again. Thanks Emma for all your video, love from Puerto Rico 🤗💖
What a fantastic opportunity! I'm sure that your English will come back to you surprisingly fast as you immerse yourself - take every opportunity to practise and know that each mistake will remind you how to improve! Good luck!!

Dear Emma,
Thank you so much for your great video 🙏 💝. As a superb teacher, you are able to grab our attention and interest to learn English better and deeper. How cool you are. I really do appreciate it.
Thank you, Leila! I'm so happy to hear that :)
@@mmmEnglish_EmmaYou are most welcome.
Where have you been for? I missed you a lot, Emma! ❤
I shared a video about it a few weeks ago: czcams.com/video/Ec_LAe-ePMQ/video.html
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Thank you for sharing this video. I think CZcams has not notified me.
Oh my goodness, I hope you're totally recovered about your eyes and skin illness, especially your mental health 🙏🏻
I'm sorry that you have passed through this bad moment in your life. We're not made of steel, so our body gives us some alerts. Gladly, you paid attention, heard those signs and took some time to recover yourself! I believe it wasn't an easy decision to be apart, but I know it was the right thing to do because our health needs to be the major priority 🙏🏻
Thank God you look so well! I wish you all blessings and health in your body and soul! 😘
Amei sim ❤❤❤
The best teacher I've ever had! And the most beautiful too!😍
I'm so happy to hear that!
Out of All english teachers , you are the best one Emma, greeting from Indonesia
Thank you!
That exactly what I was looking for 🎉
Thank you Emma for this lesson
It's truly useful❤
You're so welcome, it makes me happy to hear you found it helpful 🤩
Yes, certainly agree with you Emma absolutely. The real live small talk should occur as so spontaneously and freely as you can do that on your own! Generally speaking, I finally was able to start speaking in English owing to these essential advice you're talking about in the lesson, that has helped me very very much! I wish all the student would be able to come through the same way!
To speak spontaneously and freely is the goal! 🤩
Do you have any tips or recommendations to practise small talk, Dave?
@@mmmEnglish_Emma
That needs to be a main goal, I'd even say so, Emma!
Yeah, surely, I can give some piece of advice 'n' recommendations for starting English learners. I can share my own experience, my own way to fluency in English. I began to have practice in English whilst I was living in my country. I was Skype programe to connect with other students around the world, we were talking to each other about simple topics, discussing daily issues by using simple vocabulary 'n' grammar. Not only did I chat with my friends on Skype but also I was learning more complex English grammar simultaneously! I had three greatest books (I'm convinced, you know them Emma!), they're still with me. Only later, unless I moved to an English-speaking country, I started to leverage everything I knew 'n' learnt, I immersed myself in English at once, tried to talk to strangers, at hotels, cafes, in a taxi, on buses, trams... Subsequently, I was feeling that I was boosting all of my English skills whether it's a listening, speaking, reading, writing or pronunciation, the real practice with natives has given me a gigantic progress! I'm sorry about there weren't such fabulous lessons like yours, Emma but luckily I managed to perform my difficulties! I managed to *break the ice!* (cool idiom, isn't it?) For some moment, I just felt I could get more, much more! In other words, I couldn't put up with a minimum, I've always wanted to get more, as much as I was capable to perceive! It seemed to me, I was capable of getting better 'n' better in my hard work in English, a lot more!.. As a result, I learned to comprehend an English fast speech like my native one! It was the supreme goal for me that moment! I've reached that! That long process wasn't easy at all, you know! Finally, I actually have what I really have! Additionaly, I'm undoubtedly so proud of being your faithful student, dear Emma!
Thanks emma
Great lesson, i enjoyed a lot especially the quoque scene it was creative and funny 😂😅
How beautiful your speech, teaching method and smiling face. You superb, wish you all the best Loving Emma. 🥰
To telling the truth - to listening You and your lessons is much more easy than to talk face to face with other ordinary people ... For example - on the street or shopping.
Yes true - there are many other things that happen in real-world contexts - background noise, distractions, tone, body language - in addition to accent, pace of speech, slang, etc. I would encourage you to think about every new conversation opportunity as 'experience' - you are broadening your experience in English conversations and each time you encounter a challenging situation, you are building your experience & your ability to manage the situation better next time!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Yes, I'm looking for native speakers Emma now.
Well, it's hard to belive but I started my English in ... 1989/90 (!!!) but there was NO REGULAR English ... in these years. :(
I'm going to change this - seriously, at last! Thanks to You too Emma! Thank you for the answer ! :) And Best Regards to You. :))
Thanks Emma, your video very useful in small talk, i wish you always pretty and graceful on videos
Now discovered your page. You're a great English/Communication Studies teacher. Keep up the great work.
