Hey Emma! I use these expressions a lot in my daily speech. And I'm so glad to hear that these expressions are used by native speakers. It gave me lots of courage. Thanks for the lesson ! You're the best, always ❤️

[@Lana.S.]

Hi, Emma. You are the best from the best the in teaching Australian English. I've just finished to lean phrases from the phone conversation videos. They are brilliant and very informative. While I was watching I had thought that I sometimes stuck in phone conversation, because I don't use such small words like "so, right" as natives. Wow, it's fantastic I got a notification about new video with an explanation of them. I really appreciate your work that you're doing.

[@OrsolyaGyurjan.MilaEvans]

Emma, You are so good! Such a good English teacher. I am so happy to find you. I hope you keep teaching and I keep studying from you. I am so grateful. English is the language of this cosmopolitan world after all.

[@mariogonsalves9584]

Great conversation to listen, my friends. Thank you.

[@anweromar3421]

Hi Emma khan, thanks so much for these rules in conversation and a lot of vocabularies that help us to be perfect in English language.

[@Staywithbooks]

Hi! Actually, I used to use " Uh huh" very often,and I really wanted to learn some new words to use instead of it. Today, when I got notified that your new lesson is about Discourse Markers, I felt thrilled, because it is what I always wanted to learn.🤩

[@englishbpo4739]

This video has really good tips to improve our speaking. Thank you for the information! I'm gonna try to use it more frequently.

I'm in the middle of creating a lesson on discourse markers for advanced students and I came across this video which made me think, "Well, I should just show them this lesson!" 😅🤣 Such a FANTASTIC lesson! The explanations, conversation examples and editing are 10/10! A perfect example of what ESL teaching on KZbin should be 👏

[@videocasetteTV]

Hi Emma thanks for sharing knowledge with us , Since I am cameraman I think while shooting phone conversation it will be much better if someone is looking to left and the other is looking to right and vice versa, this will make it more seamless in the editing

I usually say: I'd need a piece of advice. Anyway, good job. But your adviser is a bit short of words. lol, Three days straight. ( three days in a row) Fantastic. Every day some phrasal new. Your voice sounds outstanding. I got you 85 to 90% without cc. of course. Carry on, go ahead. You have a good accent that is easy to understand. Some teachers online speak as if we were on a speed train, or flying to the moon.
