Good, thanks i am an english teacher yozr lectures are very useful for me! I know english classic lectreture and American writers and also the books which a have read.

[@user-sl9dp9hp3q]

Your its correct

[@williamblake5198]

Stop thinking that people are stupid. Those who are are the ones watching your videos and enjoying them. Do not annunciate and explain carefully what a word or a phrase means: if people do not know what the hell you are talking about they can search it up. It takes three seconds to say, ‘Today’s lesson is on an English authors’, but You chose to dwell on it for more than 8 or so seconds. I do not feel bad that less people are watching you, you deserve it.

Haha. It seems like a universal truth that Dickens has put into words about women’s age. A nice and calm English lesson as usual. Love you Gill ❤

[@diamondplus3671]

Great our teacher❤

[@KonstantinEgorovSpb]

Some of the old quots are never obsolete. They come handy now and again and I, for one , love using them, not being afraid to sound old-fashioned 🙂 Such a pleasure to listen to your calm, thoughtful explanations, Gill🤝❄️♥️

Dear Ma'am Gill, This was a fantastic lesson with the caption " Famous Quotations From Charles Dickens !" Amongst these novels Great Expectations and David Copperfield are very well known to the readers. The quotations perhaps help us to relate well to the content of the book and give us quite an enriched feeling ! Thanks for coming up with these wonderful quotations, which are true to all times !😊

[@devjanichakraborty6204]

Dear Ma'am Gill, Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas ! ( December 25 ) May God bless you !😊

[@manjirabanerjee7169]

Hello Gill ,thank you for this brilliant lesson.Dickens is my fav Victorian novelist .❤️

[@JuliaDutta]

Merry Christmas Gill! A Christmas Carol, David Coperfield, are my favourites. He wrote on so many topics, and as you read some qoutations from his booka, I thought, oh me, oh my, isn't that strange, that they mean the same today as they did in those days. I guess, their thoughts made the world richer my many ways. I read Charles Dickens in the Senior Classes in School with a very well read Teacher.

[@BC-xf9qb]

Thank you Gill I love the way you address your audience so cool so simple and so intelligent

[@tomrox8921]

It is good idea not to ask somebody's age, whether man or woman. Thank you Gill. Still alot to learn from british classics.

[@user-kn2qz3tf9d]

David Copperfield has been called 'the hero of the novel'. I thought a hero is only the character who saves the world. Thank you for the language insight.

[@ninagaut]

I have the complete works of the writer translated in Russian. In Russia we know Charles Dickens very well.

[@user-ce4xs4vd4l]

Great Russia 🇷🇺 is the best country in the world.

[@user-ce4xs4vd4l]

It is like Dostoevsky in Russia.

[@themegajediOBVM]

Hi there! It's so wonderful to see here a Russian English learner! I'm also a Russian. I'm glad to see you here a lot.

[@user-hg2ih8hf7x]

[@winstonfraser7784]

Hii teacher thank you for sharing so happy new year to you

[@user-is2cw1jp9q]

Charles Dickens is an artist to have been drawing the pictures not applying the paints but the words. To render the brightness for his narratives he often used the language of not educated people whereas it has turned out to be necessary. It was difficult for me as not native speaker to make out what they had spoken.

[@adelaaae4906]

Hello, we should ask how many years passed until now? Beacause no body can knows his age until he goes there.

[@komathiveeraswamy2174]

Ma'am, please clarify whether is it correct to skip k sound in the word ask or asking while reciting this word in a sentence, for example, I asked your feedback. I'm asking your suggestion. In these above two sentences, is it correct to skip k pronounciation, like it's a...sing instead of asking.

[@user-Yangyuqian]

Cool, my paper is Oliver Twist film adaptation!!! haha~

[@cantfindclips]

Lols. I too want to know how old you are, I’ve even thought about asking in the comments, but then I’m like… “NO.” I then think, “What benefits does that information give me?” And because it’s just not something we do in our society so I don’t say anything.

[@user-bh6ys5ds4o]
