This couldn’t come at a better time!! I’m doing English lit next year and I got a list of books that I’m likely to be studying which I’m gonna read over Summer - also it feel SOOO refreshing to hear someone saying they like to read because so many people around me can’t stand it!!
Me too! im doing AS englit btw:)
Lee Yan Xing Oh cool!! Do you know which books you’re gonna be studying? x
Alice McNally I have a list of what I might be studying but I don’t know which specific ones😶
bel Rose What year are you in?? I guess you could always have a little look at a couple of them just for enjoyment purposes anyway and if it turns out you’re not studying one that you read? Ah well, I’d say the more you read the better anyway!☺️
Jade! You've actually come so far, can't say how proud I am!
I agree
English is NOT my forte. So I need all the help I can get. 📚😭
we stan a queen.
you. are. the. cutest. xxx
Xxx?😂🤦♀️
Thnx for helping..
You're actually incredible and such an inspiration! Managing a levels, a youtube channel with (nearly!!!) 200k subscribers, being head girl and so much more! And you are always so positive and happy! Thank you so much for doing what you do
This made me smile SO much! Bless you! 🙈 It has honestly been this crazy lil journey that I'm so grateful for, and people like you are the reason I've loved it so much! Lots of love x
You have been such a huge source of motivation for me. You make me feel like I can truly accomplish things - thank you!!! ❣️
congrats on the sponsor Jade!!! Also thank you so much for the video it's so so helpful:)
I love how organised your studying tips are. I'm not studying classics or English literature but I still really enjoyed the video.
I really appreciate this, thank you so much! x
Just finished my English literature GCSE and have no intention of studying it at A level, but still watching this because it’s Jade😂❤️
This made me laugh! 😂 You're so lovely! x
SAME
I just started year 7 this year and we’re finally reading some classics! So thanks so much for this!! ❤️❤️
Yay .a new video xx I love you Jade xx thank you for the motivation and tips x 💟
I agree with all your tips, especially the Context tip! Researching about the author, the book and the era it was written in is SO SO helpful for studying a book!
Wow it's so cooled that this is sponsored by penguin! I love reading, especially Classics, but I'm pretty bad when it comes to reading them for school I live in America so I don't take the same type of tests you do, but this was still really helpful for my own english classes. Thanks for this video
Hey Jade! It's a shame that I'd already taken my English exam a day BEFORE you uploaded this, it is so useful ( like all of your other vids)!!!
Had my last exam today so yayyyyy!
BTW, I loved to see your exam journey and how you persevered till the end. You're one of my biggest inspirations ever. There's so much more to say but I can't find the words to thank you enough for your awesome content.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤!
I love your videos so much, I look forward to them every week!
Im so proud that youre sponsored by penguin!! Ah ive been watching you for so long and its just amazing how far you’ve come
Awhh thank you SO much - honestly a dream! thank you for supporting me for so long! You're an angel x
Such a cool thing to achieve, not many people can say they have got this far!
It’s so funny when you talk about your little book instagram because I had one too!! Gotta love the good old days of the Hunger Games and Divergent😂
Love this video this is so helpful!! Thank you Jade!! 💪🏼📚
Yessss, Jadeeeee! You´re back and better than ever! And you are so close to 200k! I can´t believe you´ve grown so fast... you deserve it so much, though. Congrats!
Wooooo we're trying 💁♀️😉 thank you so much for all your love and support! It really is MAD to think I'm nearly at 200k woahhh!! x
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched!!! I love you so much you inspire me to be my best self every day❤️
YESSS! I need to reteach myself how to annotate books... preferably before I sit the ELAT! 😅 Thank you Jade! Also - YES PENGUIN!
I'm studying Great Gatsby, Remains of the Day, and Things Fall Apart for IB English Lang and Lit. I love Things Fall Apart; I haven't started Remains of the Day yet; and I love the language of Gatsby, but I find it a lot to take on at the moment.
Hey Jade, I’m studying English lit at GCSE at the moment and I found this video very helpful so thank you ❤️
This is great!! Really needed the study motivation 👍
Enjoyed this❤️ Good luck for the future x
Thank you Jade for this video ! As a french student, it really helped me to study my books for uni next year. You speak very well, I can really understand you ! xx
Thank you Jade for all that you do! Your energy is amazing too, your smile makes me smile :) thank you
JADE! I am taking English at college and I really needed this. Lol this is why you are my favourite CZcamsr. Thank you for this, it is very helpful.
I'm doing frankenstein for my English coursework and I'm loving it !! I love how it has scientific and philosophical concepts merged together!💛💜
wonderful video Jade xx you have inspired me to read 'Great Expectations' over the summer ☺ xx
omg this is perfect!! starting my English lit coursework soon (involving comparison)... Thank you so much :)
Love this video! I definitely agree that reading for fun first helps to clarify the plot and relationships between characters in a novel.
Great and very helpful video ! Thank you Jade ❤️
Today I was actually given some modern classics to read and study over the summer to prepare for year 12, you literally uploaded this at the perfect time!
Hi Jade! I did my GCSEs not long ago and I wanted you to know the results were unexpected! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and I wasn’t confident with myself when I did the exams. I watch your videos because you motivate me so much and i got A’s for my English language and English Literature! I just want to say thank you so much and I know they aren’t A* but I did the best. Thank you so so much. Keep doing what you do. I actually expected a C for my eng lit 😭😭😭 aaaAAA❤️
Another Unjaded Jade video? I am BLESSED ☺️☺️☺️ Tysm 💛x
Layla, seeing your comments always makes me smile! x
Omg Frankenstein was on my list to read this summer! This edition looks awesome
Yessss you NEED to read it! I've read it more times than I count, and every time I do, I still find new things! I wish I'd had this edition in the past though haha x
Hiya gal, this is gonna be so helpful as I've just finished English Literature at gcse and want to take A Level. Tysm gal, you're the best! Hope you're doing amazing and life is good 💓 all love from northern irish one ❤❤
I’ve always loved English Lit and am doing next year for A level. However I was intimidated by the jump in classic analysis so thank you for this video. 💚
This is such a wonderful-helpful-cute-honest video Jade!!! Lave it!! This will help me as I'm starting college this September - THANK YOU! :) xxx
YESS I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH!!
I did English Combined (Lang & Lit) for A level, I’ve just finished it! I studied The Great Gatsby which I absolutely loved, although the exam paper wasn’t so great (tricky/narrow questions). This video was really comprehensive and yes girl get that coinnn! Everyone loves Penguin. I also did Othello but I absolutely hated it unfortunately!
All fabulous advice! British 19th Century lit was my major and specialty in college and as a professor. If you have not seen it yet, watch the new movie Mary Shelley. Such an interesting peek into her life that makes you crave for more! And reread those classics too. Your personal approach and experience differs as you age and experience things!
Thanks jade! I’m doing English literature in AS next year. This was so helpful! Love you. Wonder what the future will be for your ever-amazing channel (and academic life) Also, I wonder if you will have any collabs soon?! 😉❤️🏝💗💖
Thank you Jade! your videos are always very helpful
I have been trying to make my book review videos more interesting and nuanced since i am graduating in the field of microbiology so this video really helps. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much! This will help for sure!!
Needed this so much because I’m rubbish at English and was watching your English essay which was sooo helpful
Thank you
Yayy!! Loved the video!!
Needed this so much. Perfect timing!!!!
Awhh I'm honestly SO glad to hear it! ☺️ x
I was literally hoping for a video like this and here it is love u jade ❤️😜
Awhh I'm so glad! 😉 enjoy x
This got me really excited for English literature a level, thank you!
Don’t even study this but you always do a good job of making a good video! Studying my AAT at the moment and these videos help no matter what subject they are!
This was so helpful❤️ love your channel
Please upload videos about your a level experiences biology - chemistry and maths. Great video as always x. Also congrats for nearly reaching 200K subscribers.
They're coming! 😉 Awhh thank you SO much! I really appreciate all your support x
This was so useful, thank you ! What you said about watching the movie etc. is so true, one of my teachers actually had us watch the movie of a Shakespeare play first in order to see the text in the form of how it would have been for those in the time period before we went on to study it. XX
This is such a useful video! I absolutely love to read, but when it comes to actually having to study it very well, I still haven't quite found the right way yet. So thank you so much for these tips. :)
Thank you so much for this Jade! I am starting my O levels (which is basically GCSE) and was so stressed because I had taken English Literature as my subject and had no idea how I would get through it. Thanks again😘
Loved watching your video! Grate advice! Xx
I am not going to be studying English literature anymore but it was so helpful as I also love reading! My reading resolution for 2018 was to read more classics and your tips will certainly help me enjoy and learn more!! Thanks and congrats for being sponsored by penguin!!!
this is so insanely helpful THANK YOU XXX
I needed this!
You literally motivate me to be productive 🌟🌟🌟
This is so sweet, thank you! ☺️ Good luck with everything! x
I just discovered your channel and I really love it
You're such an inspirational and motivational person!🌻 P.S. i have the same edition of The Great Gatsby! :)
Just what I needed right now! Going to try to read more classics this summer, so this will be very helpful! ❤
Now this is brilliant! In two days i have my English literature exams! Thank you!!😄💕
Omgggg Jaaaaaadeeee ilyyyyyyyy
I learnt a lot in this video. This is so knowledgable
Classic novels? I love classic novels ❤❤❤ "Pride and Prejudice"of Jane Austen and "Wuthering Heights" of Emily Brontë are my favourite but I like alot of Shakespeare and Arthur Conan Doyle too📓📓
About Wuthering Heights, I got really confused because of Catherine and Cathy and a little confused about Harrison 😳it's a complicate book just because of the characters.
Love u alot Jade 💕
i needed this ❤❤❤ please do a motivation to study video.. i love youu
woah congrats on Penguin! great video as well. thank you 💜💜 you look super pretty
Awhh THANK YOU! Honestly, a dream! 🙈 x
I just finished my first year at university and i'm spending most of my time reading this summer, could you do a video maybe talking about some of your favorite books? Love your videos!x
aww such a helpful video ! THANKSSSS !!!
I decided for myself to read a classic every other book that I read to improve my knowledge and to seem smarter and accomplished in conversations😁 it always takes me way longer to get through them but I think it is really good for me to go through with it. The only book I struggled with so far was Emma because it repeats itself so often. At the moment I am reading pride and prejudice for the second time, but this time in English and not in German to furthermore improve my language
This came at a great time! I'll be self studying English Literature A-Level next year (due to illness) and any and all tips are much appreciated! Thank you, Jade. :)
Awhh bless you, GOOD LUCK! 💛 thank you for the kind words! x
Great tips looking forward to u reaching 200k subscribers u truly deserve it and much more thank u for all the support u shown us in everyone of your videos u truly are an inspiration ❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤
This is so sweet of you! 🙈 thank you so much for all your love and support!! x
UnJaded Jade thank u so much for all that u've done for us 😁😁😁😁
That edition is beautiful!!
I’ve just had my English Lit mock on Frankenstein today but at least I can put these tips to use next year! And we’re doing Gatsby for our coursework!
Ooooh I hope it went okay! 💛 Good luck for next year xxx
Frankenstein was one of my favorites in my AP English Lit class back in high school! It really was an easy going book & the drama was juicy if we consider Shelley was from an era way back when lol she was definitely a writer ahead of her time!! 🤩
Yay! This is such great advice! Definitely going to be using these tips😊 studying The Picture of Dorian Gray atm.
Love you so much this was great xxxx
Jaaade! You got sponsored by PENGUIN! You are just tooo amazing!
I love you jade! You are so pretty and inspiring. I have exams coming up but can't study due to bad health. But that's for always motivating us
*Puts down everything*
please please please do a video on how to start year 10 motivated and with the right mindset and all the little tips you wish you learnt earlier bc i know alot will benefit from this video idea and it just helps start off the year right xx ilysm
Unknown if you have any friends in year 11 speak to them. I definitely think hearing from someone who goes to your school and experienced what you’re about to is the best way to realise how it’s going to be. I honestly think as long as you want to learn about the subjects you study you will be fine :)
Unscrewed _ Up i don’t have any friends from year 11 and i get distracted and unmotivated easily so :(
Unknown I just finished year 11 so if you have Instagram you can dm me about it. What classes did you choose for your options btw?
Unscrewed _ Up i chose history,dance,buisness, and french but i don’t rly need help bc i’m fluent in it( and obvs the core subjects) my instagram is erm.lily and tysm for offering to help i really appreciate it❤️
@@dm7626 Unfortunately, I do not like English that much. I am still being forced to take it though.
your handwriting is the cutest!! :D
This was very interesting thank you. I begin my Ba Honours Degree in Eng Lit & Creative writing in Oct. I look forward to more videos :) subscribed 👍
So beautiful and inspiring xx love ya x
Hey jade! Could you please do a video about uni choices and how to choose a uni? I’m going next year and I’m stressed out at the moment because I have no idea what to do in life therefore I have no idea what course to pick! Please help
She did a video covering some of these topics with Jack Edwards' on his channel
