I`d like to be returned to my younger years, to the university, and start listening to such brilliant lectures. Thank you, Jill!
I'm fasting in Ramadan and before the fast we take a breakfast n watching while doing that...makes it surreal
Thanks. For me it was like returning to my childhood. In the USSR Shakespear's plays were often on TV and radio. I used to see lots of screen adaptations as well as ballets and theatrical performances
Your pronunciation is wonderful! Clear, at all for me. It's a pleasure listening to you. Thank you for your work! An excellent video! I love English language! 📚
The best Teacher i've ever seen, you're such an inspiration for me.
I love you so much
If you liked this video, I’m sure you’ll love my videos too. Thank you 😇
It is a really interesting information. Thanks.
I loved the magical Mid-Summer's Night's Dream followed by Merchant of Venice. The complex Hamlet and saw the play too. I think Shakespeare was one of the best poets of our times and I will always be in awe of him. Thank you Gill for your video today. A good Teacher always makes the subject more interesting 😎
Appreciate it
Thanks Gill 🤗 you're the best. I've breafly studied Shakespeare's plays at university and I've really appreciated your way of summarizing them through quotes. Side note: I really like that you write your notes on a classic whiteboard
It's blackboard that classical, actually😊
In France, I have never met such a good teacher like you during my studies ; I'm surprised to understand this video although my level is bad. You are clear and interesting. You made me want to learn from the begining. Thank you.
No you are smart not otherwise
For my final very long paper, I did and Operetic
Study of some Shakespearean plays that were used for the libretto in various Operas. It was
Lovely to work on: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A midsummer Nights’ dream, King Lear, perhaps Richard iii- can’t remember all now, but your way of talking brought back to me the everyday kind of wisdom that abounds In Shakespeare. Thank you so very much, Nancy
You are incredible, love your videos and you must know we love you!
🥰🤙
Gosh! Gill, you've heard my pleading for English literature lessons! It's awesome! Thanks a lot!
Thanks,Ma'am Gill,for the lesson on wonderful quotations by the eminent playwright William Shakespeare ! Though the plays of Shakespeare,are not quite easy to understand,due to the usage of the ancient style of literary language,unless we are properly guided by a professor of English ! When we know the contents of play,we start enjoying it !
Thanks 😃
Thank you Gill!
You have rekindled my interest in Shakespear.
I've read three of Shakespear's Plays:
1) Romeo and Juliet
2) The Merchant of Venice, and
3) Macbeth.
Next week I will go to look for "Much Ado About Nothing".
I like The Oxford Shakespear Editions.
Once again, thank you!
You make reading Shakespear's Plays really pleasurable.

As a Brazilian English teacher, I am so grateful for all that precious content. 😊
Thank you very much for this awesome lesson. Shakespeare is great. I have read many works of it, but it is always important to review them.
After long phase of time, I am so glad to hear your mild and ear sooting voice. Endless respect and love for you, Madam.
Delightful lesson! Thank you for this lovely idea, talking about Shakespeare's plays ❤ My favorite one is by far Much ado about nothing.
Thank you so much for describing so nicely the quations from Shakespeare's Plas. You speaks very nicely.

Professor Gill thank you very much for this wonderfull video about Shakespeare and all your work is enriching . I'm a Brazilian student who loves the English language and UK culture specially England culture ..☺💝

Shakeapeare is all time great dramatist.
Thanks a lot.
Your videos about Shakespeare are very interesting! I have read some of these plays.
I don’t have enough words to express my grateful for this beautiful class
Thanks Gill
Thanks a million for reminding me my college days. Great way of explaining Shakespeare! Will be getting back to you.
It is so good to hear you giving classes. Congratulations.
It's seems so Simple.
Thanks a bunch.
Good morning. You are a great person. You explained Shakespeare in a clear and concise way. This presentation can be easily used for international audiences. I love watching your videos about literature. Have a good day!
Gill is a wonderful teacher. God bless you for the work.
Oh, Gill, I was hoping you'd say King Lear's line once or twice more!! Love your soft voice and when you recite it's lovely!!
I love this classes early in the morning for me. Years ago I wanted to show off my English with friends and learnt by hart a little verse from Shakespeare’s Midsummer when Puk says (more or less): Two spotted snakes with double tongue, thorny hedghog be not seen, knwets and blind worms do not wrong, be not near to my fairy Queen.
Thanks for your lovely lessons!
Dear Gill, your Lesson are so useful, and so pleasant....Thank you!
My wish is every teacher around world learning to explain as this teacher as do. Great Video thanks greetings from Cuba🙌🏽
I respect your teaching method and honesty, Ma'am.
I loved this class, Gil. It is interesting to notice the class prejudice against the poor people who lived in the villages. The word 'villain' primarily refers to the villager. People who lived in villages were mostly poor (serfs) in the Middle Ages, and even later, with the rise of the bourgeoisie. Therefore, poverty often impelled them to commit crimes, such as stealing animals belonging to the nobility and the clergy, which is why they were labeled as evil and why the evil characters in the tales are still called villains today, without us noticing the historical weight on the word.
Thank teacher so much.
Have a great weekend 👍
Thanks from 🇯🇵
I enjoyed your video.
It was very helpful 💐
As a Mexican English teacher I appreciate your very interesting lessons.
Thank you Gill. I learn a lot from you and I enjoy your videos from Brazil.
For me ,the literary works of 'The Bard of Avon ' are and will always be the greatest works of all time ; complex though. Thank you Gill for delivering such a wonderful lesson today.
What a wonderful bunch of quotations! Thank you for the great lesson.
Hello, Dear Gill, it was lovely to see your explanation, and always you are a fine Lady and very proper, really, it was very interesting, also, I may say that would be very nice to have a recomendación of one of Shakespeare plays to study and understand better. Thankfully and greetings from a Mexican person living in Japan.
Hi - many thanks for your kind comments. I recommend one of Shakespeare's comedies, Much Ado About Nothing - in addition to reading it, you might like to watch a film version, eg there's one directed by Kenneth Branagh. All the best for your studies :-)
Good morning teacher!! Glad to see you 🙏🕊️💓🌷❤️🤗
So interesting ❤❤❤❤❤love that u inject your humour into these learning videos
An absolute delight!
Thanks for making Shakespearean English easy for people like me to understand better. Your pronunciation is really good for us Asians to understand.

Glad to Gill you doing young and sweet still🎉keep shining Gill🙏👏
Very interesting gentle introduction to Shakespeare . Thankyou.

Thank you dear Gil for this excellent session. You excel at excellence..!!
Hello from Saint-Petersburg!
Thank you very much for such an interesting, easy and at the same time informative video.
I really like this mixing of language learning, literature and just the pleasure of immersing in art. I binge read Shakespear’s plays when I was a girl of about 12 years old. They was translated into Russian of course. I don’t risk to read these plays in the original. It seems to me interesting that the quote from Richadr the third translated into russian sounds like “A horse! A horse! A half kingdom for a horse!” I don’t know why.
Hi - thank you for your kind comments. The translation is interesting - when Richard III calls out "My kingdom for a horse" I think he must have been offering all of his kingdom - though of course this was the character in Shakespeare's play, and I don't think there's any evidence that the real Richard III said that. Here is an interesting link: www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/richard-iii-my-kingdom-for-a-horse/
I'm enjoying every single video in your channel, thank you so much ❤️

Hi, Gill! Thank you for the lesson about Shakespeare! I'd like to know more about verse metrics! As a suggestion for some future video on poetry if you'd like it! Thank you!
Very beautiful narration.
Friendly advice for all of the English learners out there 🌍...you will find it much easier to memorize words and phrases if you physically practice pronouncing them out loud (or reading them out loud). 🗣 The more you exercise your physical senses (sense of hearing, sense of sight, etc.) the more speaking English will feel like an experience, which will be much more difficult to forget. 🧠🇨🇦
Good to see you again, Gill...
That was very helpful and interesting short review! Thank you!
