Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation. I used your video about Halloween as a reference to create a lesson for my students who wanted to learn more about American culture. Now I'm making a lesson about Thanksgiving and I knew you would make a great video on this topic too.
Happy Thanksgiving! 😁

Hi Jenna, thanks for keep sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
I find pretty useful this kind of lessons about american culture, since learning a language is more than reading books, memorizing grammar rules and lots of vocabulary words.
Many people can express themselves in a proper way in academic or business environments just because they are the main subjets we are taught to perform in, but when it comes to talking about certain topics like this one, they just go speechless because they don't know how to talk about cultural and daily situations.
Thanks one more time and send you a big hug from Colombia ✨🙏🏽✨🙏🏽✨🙏🏽✨
I’m so glad you found it useful! I agree that learning about the culture is an important aspect of learning the language. 😀
Thank you for your information I'm an Asian so I'm very excited to explore American culture . Simply my bf from the US😂 it really nice❤❤
That's great! Be sure to check out my other videos about American culture: czcams.com/play/PLTaPDxv5nudm_ZCLhTdxBHq71v6IhzlZk.html 😀
Please speak more slowly thank you so much🙏
Sorry about that. I can try to speak a little more slowly in future videos. You can also turn on the subtitles.
