Ah that’s so great 😊☺️

[@wildearthwoman]

I’m so happy I found your channel. I visited a friend of mine in Hereford a couple of weeks ago, and she used a couple of expressions I hadn’t heard before. We were talking about Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mum one day and she said (affectionately) that the Queen was a “good old stick”. When I returned to the US she sent me an email saying that she was sending me a package and that she thought I will be “well chuffed” when I receive it.

[@antoniop98]

Well, today I am done in to bits following an awful situation, but I truly wanna be full of beans again. I prefer to be knackered after hard work rather than being in bits for what I lost. I am gonna take a gander at some tips so as to find more peace. Your channel is so uplifting and enticing to me that I just can't get enough of it and I wanna watch more of your handy videos. You are great and no slouch on teaching English. Your prowess at the language is awe-inspiring.

[@valerieyoung4725]

Hi Katherine! Thanks for another useful and informative video! There are many English Pronunciation teachers on YT but I like your voice and accent best! How do you manage to make each lesson so entertaining? I look forward to watching more videos from you. 😃 here’s a future video suggestion, hope you’ll consider it. Would you record a guided sleep meditation wherein you’d speak in a slow, relaxed manner with your soothing voice? It’d be such a pleasure falling asleep listening to your lilting voice and melodic accent. It’d be like a lullaby to our ears! Would you include some soft delta brainwave music in the background too? I heard that when one is relaxed or sleep, a language is likely to seep into the subconscious and likely induce implicit learning. I’d really appreciate it if you would consider my suggestion. Thanks so much! ❤️

[@englishwithkatharine]

What an amazing suggestion!! Will definitely consider it 😊😊☺️☺️

[@valerieyoung4725]

Thanks for your quick reply, Katherine! I’m so glad you’d consider my suggestion. I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching out for your latest videos! Have a fabulous weekend! ❤️
