Hi Gill 👋 May I ask that you do teaching in any academy or educational institution in the UK? My niece is planning to go to Britain this year and willing to physically attend your language sessions if hopefully there will be such an opportunity. I admire your great work over English teaching and I will be grateful for any information to help my niece learning from you 😊

[@溝口裕子-y1o]

I am very happy to have a chance to read the sonnet 27, which is among the poems in the small blue book I purchased at a gift shop in Stratford-upon-Avon! This small sonnet book has been on my bookshelf untouched for a long time. Today, thanks to Gill-sensei, I took the book from my bookshelf and found this sonnet. I don't think my English proficiency is enough to appreciate fully the beauty of the sonnet, but I find this sonnet captivating! Thank you for this good video!

[@ciciliafrazao-amorpelosliv2024]

Gill, your class is great! I´m brazilian and I am portuguese teacher here. Congratulations and thank you!

[@eduardocardenas6401]

Great. Thank you. Love from Turkey.I love the English poetry so much. Also you paraphrased the poem so clearly. I am very interested in sonnets. They are like piece of art. Can you make more Shakespeare videos?

[@senoritaimperfecta9590]

[@steinbrugge]

Thank you very much for this poetry class. I've never seen Shakespeare before like now you've opened my eyes.

[@julianahope2389]

This poem is reminding of my situation. Working so hard in the day. But I cannot sleep at all due to so many thoughts hitting in my head. Thanks to your wonderful lecture I am trying to leave the worries and stress behind and to keep myself more positive

[@josemarques6971]

Thank you very much, with you even Shakespear'sonnets are easy.

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

I love Shakespeare' sonnets, they're great and this playwriter is the best in the world. If you were in a position to do other videos like this , it would very kind of you. You are so good at teaching English, from grammar to literature. Yo're the best teacher we can have. Thank you

[@DrGiustino]

Thank you, Gill! You are the best!

[@MonAlde]

Ms. Gill should've her own audiobook and I can listen to her anytime. Her voice is so calming, innocent and just too good for the ear. Love not only her accent but her personality. 😚

[@humbertojorgelopezbe]

[@albertmontereau7565]

Thank you so much for your lesson. That was very intresting. Lot of vocabulary, and clear explications. I've learning a lot with this video.

[@saturnosring]

Very interesting topic! The structure of 14 lines and 10 syllables stays the same as in the spanish sonnet, but the rhyme has a different pattern. In spanish it was normally ABBA, ABBA, CDC, DCD. Nice to learn some literature, and that is a beautiful poem!

[@Lauschini]

I love your teaching-style, thank you so much for doing these videos. I'm an English teacher in Modena, Italy. Best wishes and stay safe!

[@zsohrbi4761]

You are honestly the best youtube English teacher ever !

[@tatiyana8934]

It is Always a pleasure ☀️💗 to listen to Ms. GILL, telling about such an interesting things like sonnets (and ANY☺️ other interesting things about literature and culture in general - ✌🏻) Always THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!, dear Ms.Gill! ☀️💟💕

[@nitush1000]

thank you Gill, I very much enjoyed this lesson, in fact, it's the first English literature lesson I have ever listened to... I'm an Israeli, born to an American Mother and a British Father, so it is my native language, but, I've never had English lessons that fit my level, so I just never listened to the general English classes... also, I would love to know if you have any lessons for young children too?

[@inesgomez3321]

Thanks a lot, dear teacher. Your lessons are real pleasure.

[@laurengarden6814]

I've suffered with minute brain damage and my speech was impaired, since starting these lessons its helped alot

[@gorab88]

I'm indigenous philologist And I Love English literature And consider you as Guru. Lots of Love mam

[@juanbancalero609]

Wonderful poem and class. In my opinion all classic authors describe universal situations which have validity through centuries. I think that the first line, when Shakespeare says: ...I haste to my bed, is related with lines 11 and 12, which contain the key words: ghastly, black and old. I think he means, in other words: despite the ugly and dark night that I know is awaiting for me, I go to bed in a hurry to dream, without sleeping, with you. That's really love in a marvellous poet's soul. Sorry if I've disturbed you.

[@VarsavaBo-Hibf]

Thank you Gill, we watch all of your lessons, they are all perfectly understandable, see, even when the the topic is not the simplest. You're a great inspiration and an example for teachers of English. We'd love to see more videos on poetry. Greetings from Ukraine!

[@mohammedbendrissou2677]

Really you're a great teacher,Thank you for the explanation

[@yewtree2552]

This is my very first Sonnet (as well as any poem by Shakespeare). You made it so easy to understand for me, and done so beautifully! Thank you, Gill!♥️

[@mtmirian]

[@paolosgarbi1992]

Hello I am iranian, from the land of poetry... I enjoyed the video and the poem. You explained and transferred the feeling of the poem very well. Marvellous!

[@salicus]

Wow, this is a stunning and beautiful video. Thank you!

[@teresahildebrandt2390]

You’re a treasure along with being a great teacher. Please more poetry with explanation.

[@diaaaswad5934]

What a fantastic explanation. I memorized the poem by heart. If you could make a chain to explain all sonnets, it would be priceless. I deeply wish that. Thank you so much and have a wonderful time.

[@David-bv9ul]

Dear Gill, I enjoyed watching this lesson very much, thank you! Now I am looking forward to more episodes on Shakespeare's poems, and many more on other poets as well. I am praying that my wish may come true. 😊

[@bryan.cg1]

You're a good teacher, I like the way you teach and speak . =)

[@anabalderasgarcia2908]

One of my dreams is to can read Shakespeare's literary work in antique English. Thanks for inspire me to continue learning the language.

[@mohamedyahyehawe9243]

I do adore your way of teaching. It's extremely beautiful.

[@thestranger5705]

You can't imagine to which I'm love with your accent and style Your faithful follower from Algeria

[@Michael-xv4zs]

Thank you for your wonderful explanation of this sonnet. English is my native language but I have always struggled with comprehending poetry (as much as I love it.) I wish I knew you when I was taking British Literature in high school!

[@sasikumarkannattu2759]

What a beautiful and sweet teaching.congrates.

[@jannabanna666]

Hi Gill, just found this on internet which could back up what you've just explained. Sonnet 27 in modern English: Weary from travelling, I hasten to my bed - that welcome place of rest for limbs tired out from travel. But then another journey begins in my head that puts my mind to work after my body’s work has ended; because my mind begins another, arduous, trip, from far away from home, to where you are, keeping my drooping eyelids wide open. It makes them stare at darkness, as blind people do, except that my imagination makes me see your image, that hangs like a jewel in the black night and makes it beautiful, transforming its old face to a young one. Look, now! Because of you, neither my limbs by day, nor my mind by night, enjoy any rest.

[@jannabanna666]

@Davgil Brilliant!

[@jannabanna666]

@Davgil I would first of all like to point out that I am not really a poetry lover and just happened to come across Gill one day on KZbin however I’ve just re-read your sonnet and here are my thoughts. I am, by no way, an expert in these manners but as you say, I’m a native. 100% British, but living in France since 1981! 1. I agree with you; ‘foolish’ is better than ‘stupid’. 2. I would leave ‘breach the dissimulation’ 3. You’re quite right, we would pronounce sylvanite like ‘night’ so at the end, why not: “Yearning to praise and greet, our sweet, honest Oasis of secrets, sharing her knowledge Unfolding the treasures of the British language!”

[@luizdantas5610]

Hello, Gill. I really appreciate your nice lesson. I always watch your classes, they are all interesting and helpful. May I suggest you dedicate more of your teaching time on Engvid to Shakespeare's plays and poetry? It is a bit to difficult to fully understand him in the original even for native speakers of English without some assistance. Many thanks!

[@ТатьянаАтрощенко-з6й]

Thank's a lot! A very interesting explanation! Brilliant!

[@patrascanukhalid7958]

I love British accent, and you are the best ♥
