A little about me:
My name's Minoo, and I'm originally from Iran.
I obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in England in 1985.
Since then, I've been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and course director in various schools and countries. I'm also a trained confidence coach.
In 2008, my son, Tom, and I set up the Anglo-Link platform for online English studies.
This led to the creation of our popular CZcams channel in 2011.
My passion is to share with you what I've learnt on my own English language journey, both as a student and as a teacher, so that you can become a fluent speaker of English too.

Thank you very much, Alan.
Love her =) She makes everything clear =)
Thank you very much, Valeria!
This is a very good video! English is my first language but I decided to watch this because it has been a long time since I have studied the rules in-depth. I would just like to point out that I immediately had an issue with the sentence, "physics is more interesting than maths." I found out that "maths" is actually a informal/slang shortening of the word mathematics which is mostly a British usage. In the Americas where English is spoken, "maths" looks like a pluralization of the word math which is never appropriate. I hope this is helpful and doesn't come off sounding nit-picky.
Thank you!
I teach British English, and that's why I've used the word 'maths'. However, the information you have provided on the American usage is very interesting.
It's an excellent source for detailed information on the English subject.
Thank you very much!
Excellent explanation, thanks for the examples at the end of the lesson it helps a lot to your understanding.
You're very welcome!
Thank you i have under stood what comparlative and superlative words im fully ready for my test
Thanks alot!

Thank you very much, Anil!
Thank you very much!!! I had had an exam three days ago, and it really helped me
Glad it helped!
Thank you, Ms. Minoo. Your lessons are very useful as usual. However, I've a question, can I say ' bouncier or more bouncy'? Or both of them are acceptable?
You're welcome!
'bouncier' is better because it ends in 'y'.
Thank you from iraq😊💖👆you help me so much
My pleasure!

Great lesson but I would like to ask you the main difference between comparative adjectives and adverbs. When should I use either one? Thanks
Thank you! For the answer to that question, I'd recommend you watch my lesson called Adjectives & Adverbs'.
Thanks so much for explaining the subject, dear teacher. It's helpful for English learners.
You are welcome!

Muchas gracias, me ayuda en mi curso de gramática.
You're welcome.
useful video . thanks madam
My pleasure!
When we use i n the sentences comparative or superlative , because many sentenses i think comparative but you use superlative. tank you very much.
If you have two things / people, use the comparative form.
If you have more than two, use the superlative form.
thank you very much in this is video I'm very happy for you thank you
My pleasure!
Me tow my pleasure thank you so much I'm happy with you(that so kind for you)
Really good lesson. I understood very well. Thanks
You're very welcome.
Hellooooo! I love all your videos, they are very useful when it comes down to improve my British English pronunciation and, of course, grammar. But after watching this video a question remained. I know there are some rules concerning the word "different". Do I really always have to use "that of" and "those of" when using "different"? Is it for all the adjectives?
Thank you very much from a brazilian student who loves british culture!
Thank you very much for your positive feedback, David.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you type out complete sentences to show me how you think you should use 'different'?
Nice to hear your voice, it's so pleasant and melodious. Please make a video on the measure problems about speaking in English. BTW I'm Sam.:-)
Thank you, Sam! What exactly do you mean by 'measure' problems?
i mean when we speak in front of someone, what should we take care about!?
I have a few lessons on 'listening & speaking'. You will find them here:

Glad you liked it!!
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. My former native English teacher always said: more easy or more simple. When we asked him why, he just replied that when it is better to pronounce we can say it as he did. I don´t remember which part of USA he comes from. May I ask you for your opinion? Thank you!
Thank you!
To answer your question, with many two-syllable words like 'simple', both are usually correct.
I would say that 'simpler' is more common. If you Google both, simpler has more hits than 'more simple'.
Thank you much for your answer!
There is a typing error on page "Exeptions 2" : more quite -> more quiet
Apologies for this!
thank you so much. it was really useful for me
You are most welcome!
Thank You. This video help me a lot.
You're very welcome.
Hi !
When n Why do We use " the" before comparative degree . for example
The higher We go , the cooler it is.
Plxxx reply ...I Asked many te
that's parallel comparative, it is used to indicate continuous changes.

I've made a note of your request, Vanina, but I'm afraid I won't be able to this in the near future. I hope you can find another good channel that covers this.
Anglo-Link mxua mxksj x sucks mxks
Angry is a multisyllabic word and we say angrier. Why is it like that then?
As I explain in the lesson, with 2-syllable words, both are possible. Some, like 'angry' are more frequently used with 'er', and other, like 'jealous' with 'more'.
thank you😃
You're welcome.
Thank you!!
My pleasure!
while i do my hw i found this hopefull video

This video is wrong In is not spelled "My area is more quite than yours". at 5:25. This should be spelled QUIET. This is going to confuse a lot of people. especilly thr common EFL student's understanding of spelling and grammar
Thank you for pointing out this typing error. I apologise for it.

Geez,Your grammar is the worse....
Eugene Brown this is only a spelling mistake folks. C'mon.
