[@SilverViper1000]

I have an issue with the phrase "why not". Especially in the way you used it. Please, never say "why not" if someone is asking you to be his/her boy-/girlfriend. "not" is a word with a negative aspect to it. Don't be negative and use positive phrases like "yes, of course", "yes, I want to" or anything that doesn't implement a word which is usually used to negate something. (please correct my grammar if needed. I'm obviously not a native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure this applies to many languages.)

[@MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM0]

Not okay

[@Sibusiso_Buthelezi]

Can I call you later ? Me: Sure, why not / Absolutely How was your day ? Me: So far so good / Interesting

[@the.parks.of.no.return]

I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks

I am an Arab and I do not know English well, but I have improved a lot because of you ♥

[@Herandro_just_Herandro]

The problem with "Ok" is it gives non-native English speakers the false idea that it is a generic, "one-size-fits-all" term, when in fact it can take on different meanings depending on the context in which it is used, particularly when speaking directly to a native English speaker. You are an amazing teacher. Congratulations from Brazil!🇧🇷

[@vinicius_ATC]

É tão fácil de entender a aula do prof 🤩 não junta as palavras, não usa gírias e sempre explica de outra forma o que quer dizer

[@Bolaway]

Ok.

[@ahmedqusay2118]

It’s not ok to start a lecture without saying “ hi James for ingVid”. Thanks a lot for your great effort in this video. Greetings from Iraq Baghdad.

[@vanessarmeira]

never heard the expression "ok" so many times in my life. excellent lesson! Thank you, James. you´re the best teacher...

[@marshaleechambers273]

Your "very" video was great. I stopped using the word, "very," inappropriately. Back then I would have said your video is very good, now I say it's great. Thank you for this "okay" video. It's great!

[@shorenaapriamashvili4335]

It wasn't ok, it was brilliant!Thank you😍

[@mcmerry2846]

Best teacher ever, I'm a C1-C2 but I just come because this also helps me to teach my native tongue to foreigners. 💕

[@tinachinyuka126]

Am improving my English because of you sir God bless you abundantly for the good work you are doing to us🙏💕💕💕💕

[@Bonita.ch1]

Hahaha love this guy! Born in Greece, ill have to admit , my English improved thanks to you! I appreciate you😁

[@JB_1759]

I have been watching your videos lately starting with gaining more vocabularies after I watch your videos about steps on how to learn English. Here's my take on the 2 questions 1. Can I call you later? 1.a. Sure, anytime around 7-9:30pm 1.b. Absolutely, but text me first. 2. How was your day? (This one is from my experience as an ESL teacher & we ask this questions to our young students & now I know why the company wants us to sing a nursery rhyme to it.) 2.a. I'm good 2.b. I'm great 2.c. (bonus, because its part of the lyrics) I'm wonderful. question number 2 is so great & you're right, these answers could help people to be open up in a conversations, much alone for a young learner of English Language. Thank you so much for this & stay safe.

[@robgoodman6453]

"Go ahead" as a response to " How is the weather?" shows the person is not interested in a converstion beyond what is necessary. Hats off to the instructor. He presentation is brilliant!

[@vannystocker5941]

I know you might not see this but i finally started too get serious about changing my life I live with my parents I’m 22 years old going nowhere with my life so I’m I’m trying hard so I can become wealthy and move out so what I should say is thank you this is my first step too my 5 year plan for myself people like you will change this world

[@ndeshukurwakaaya4385]

Okay opens more convasation or rather communication. Okay is formal but Ok doesn't well come formal socialisation it discourages a go ahead. Okay, is brilliant. I GOT IT. IS AMAISING TO HAVE A GREAT TEACHER JAMES.

[@VictorCarvalhoTavernari]

You are the best English teacher who I watched on the internet! Please, keep helping us with your knowledge.

[@delsings]

You are a fantastic teacher! And great energy dude. Thanks so much for making this.

[@nagaratharmstar]

Is he dude to you..?

[@delsings]

@@nagaratharmstar I dunno, I say dude a lot lol

[@nagaratharmstar]

@@delsings don't mistake.. you may call many as dude but as he being a teacher and elder it won't be the appropriate way .. a proper respect has to be given. ( Just my opinion bro not accusing! )

[@delsings]

@@nagaratharmstar oh I get you, and thank you. I just meant it as a friendly affirmation. I absolutely appreciate a teacher's dedication to their craft.

[@nagaratharmstar]

@@delsings I appreciate it, thank you.

[@ndeshukurwakaaya4385]

Thanks teacher I'm becoming brilliant in English language now. 👍

[@katiecousineau2412]

English is my first language and Spanish my second. In Spanish we use the word "ok" a LOT too. Your video challenged me to stop using it when I am speaking Spanish as well as when I am speaking English. This is going to force me to expand my vocabulary in both languages. Thank you!

[@theann89]

English is not my native language, I'm learning and still not fluently using English (listening & speaking), but amazingly I can understand all your teaching, without captions. You are a best English teacher

[@medalofonur2027]

Interesting that word Ok became international. And i can repeat all this lesson in my own language, and it will be still right in most of parts.

[@robertocspinto]

That's true. My native language is Portuguese and we use "Ok" a lot in all these situations. Regards.

[@SilverViper1000]

I'm from Germany. All he said is true to me aswell.

[@ИсанГрудин]

Russian too

[@Raffonso]

@@robertocspinto Nao tem tanto em portugues... aqui usamos mais pra concordar com algo ou demonstrar entendimento , mas nao pra responder "como voce ta?", que falamos mais "to bem".

[@sharkdzung]

Watching James reminds me of the main character from "The Green Mile" movie which I really loved.

[@omegarugal27]

great teacher...thanks for the classes

[@Franciscoluche]

« OK, OK, OK, OK, OK !!! » 😅 Joe Pesci in LETHAL WEAPON. 😉 In case you ever wondered how many times Joe Pesci says OK in Lethal Weapon 2 - JUST LETHAL WEAPON 2 - it's 105 times. If you break it down for Lethal Weapon 3, Pesci said OK a total of 88 times and for the less-than-average Lethal Weapon 4, Pesci said OK a total of 82 times - making for a grand total of...276 times across three films. So that's 276 times that Joe Pesci has uttered the words OK on film with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover nearby. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

[@leeheeseung9444]

This lesson help me alot. Thanks alot sir .
