Awesome words. Thank you Wes. Learning a language truly needs a perseverance, it is a non-stop process, but with videos like this things become effortless and fun. I watch and rewatch them at least four times and when i want to use them; they easily come to my head. THANK YOU Wes for your hard work and perseverance.

Reading books is the most effective way to expand your vocabulary 🎉. I've been using this method for a while and it has helped me enormously 😅. Never forget to listen to the audio books as well to learn correct pronunciation 😊. I normally write down the new words I encounter together with their meanings and search how they're used in a sentence 🎉🎉. If you use these methods, you'll be catapulted to greater heights. ❤

[@user-sl7mg5wl7b]

Jus wanted to tell u u r the best teacher in this universe I appreciate ur offer u teach us step by step ur method of teaching is phenomenal

Building your vocabulary is not always easy. Thanks for that sentence! I'm at that point where I feel like I will never move forward and will be stuck at my current level for the rest of my life. 🙈 You give me hope! I've been living in the US for 4 years, and it seems to me that I have checked and learned from all the KZbinrs. However, your method of sharing knowledge is the most suitable for me! Thanks again, and please keep up the awesome work!

The narrative I promote is that this channel is really for those who want to become an English-learning snob! I need perseverance and making concessions to reach an advanced level. I am filled with remorse when I do not study, probably I am a workaholic! I do not have xenophobia and feel relaxed when there is a n influx of tourists in my country. People who are in exile are homesick sometimes

[@InteractiveEng]

Nice use of the nouns. Thanks for commenting & sharing. :)

[@joselembo4661]

As a Romance language speaker (more specifically Portuguese), I can't help but notice that some of these words have Latin roots. It's interesting and I noticed this myself when I took the TOEFL exam a while ago. In the vocabulary section, I knew some words for this reason, as they are similar to words in my language with the same meaning. Great lesson, as always. Examples of words in context are a great tool to enhance comprehension.

[@msinbalony]

Fun fact, Wes. The word snob was originally an acronym for "Sine Nobelitate" - in Latin - which was used in colleges in Britain, on the attendance sheets, for the names of the students that were NOT from nobility background. So it was used originally for kind of an opposite meaning, a little bit in a derogative way, to point to those that were among nobles although they are not. Kind of like imposter.

Thanks this is just great! As an English learner, I gotta admit sometimes it's hard to make our spoken English flexible in that we only know one certain form, normally it would be the verb form, and it could be really frustrating. Plz make more video of the alike content. ❤

[@Mseleku1]

You need more practice. Record yourself speaking and use new words you've just learned immediately. Try to imitate the native speakers as much as you can. Otherwise, you're at the advantage since your written English is good.

Thank you for preparing all those super useful words. I have noticed that the example sentence you gave for "concession", I think there is a syllable mistake.
