Dear Gideon, I do enjoy watching your videos, you are the best teacher on KZbin I have ever come across! One things I would like to mention: if you turn on subtitles + you try to read what is written in your video itself (the expression + your example), these two things overlay each other and it is hard to read! Just a slight remark to make your videos even more subscriber-friendly! ;)
