Thanks you so much for hours vidéos . I Like it

[@Bookworm-u7j]

Dear teachers your lessons are amazing. Will you please elaborate the concept of The where to pronounce The(thaaaa) or the(theeee) hope you understand what I'm trying to ask. You both are amazing. Thanks for the lovely session 🙏

[@highlevellistening]

Hello! That's a good question! The pronunciation of "the" can change depending on the word that follows it. Typically, "the" is pronounced as "thuh" (to rhyme with "duh") before a consonant sound, and as "thee" (to rhyme with "see") before a vowel sound. This helps with the flow of speech. Here are examples: - "thuh" (rhymes with "duh"): the cat, the book, the movie - "thee" (rhymes with "see"): the apple, the ocean, the end Remember, it’s about the sound that follows, not necessarily the letter the next word begins with. For example, "the" before "hour" is pronounced "thee" because "hour" starts with a vowel sound (and why we say "an hour" and not "a hour". Another example is "the (thuh) university", because the starting sound is "yu", not a vowel sound. I hope that makes sense!

You could use all of these phrases, questions and expressions in face-to-face conversations or in text messages - they would be friendly and appropriate in both cases :)

Dear Kat&Mark teachers, I've been following up you since I'm going to move to Australia and need to improve my English and speak fluently.You are amazing and help me so much tnx. Is "seeing you was delightful" correct?

[@highlevellistening]

Yes that's definitely a correct sentence! More commonly, native speakers are likely to say: - It was so nice to see you! - It was so great to see you! - I loved hanging out with you!

[@Laura77752]

Teachers, thank you soooo much for the video. I know all these phrases but, honestly, i've never understood the difference between them and how to use them. I really appreciate your great work!❤🌷🔥 I can see the mentality of American, English and Russian people. For example, Kat says it's rude to poke into someone's life. If we are talking about friends, it's a quite usual question in Russia: e.g. Anything new with your boyfriend (house, parents,etc) even at the beginning of the conversation? Are such questions unacceptable between friends in your countries or it depends on how close this friend is? Or they are unacceptable only first minutes of your meeting, before you and your friend start to open up?

[@highlevellistening]

I guess it depends on how close you are as friends and how badly you need the gossip 😂 If my friend says let’s catch up I have a lot to tell you about ….. (some news something) I would want to know and I would ask my friend about it. But if it’s just normal friends catching up we might try to be patient and wait til we have our coffees and sit down before we get to the good stuff in the conversation. We really appreciate you and your comments!

[@sergiocuadra120]

Hi, I'm learning English, Could you indicate what is the English level in each video please? Don't tell me Intermediate o advanced. Please, tell me : B-1 or B-2 and so on please

[@highlevellistening]

Unfortunately this might be hard to do, our videos are aimed at upper intermediate and advanced students because of the speed and unscripted way that we talk. Our vocabulary will range widely between B1 and C2 level depending on the specific topic as well. (Some topics will have more C1-C2 level vocabulary as the phrases are rarer or more specific.) Kat has made some Intermediate (B1 level) videos which you can find here: www.youtube.com/@highlevellistening/playlists

[@HerdieChamwa]

Thank you teachers... could you please talk one day about leadership

[@highlevellistening]

Interesting idea! We'll add it to our list!

[@giselle_avila]

I had the versant test yesterday, that test is so difficult 😢 I would like to speak like an native speaker 😢😢 but it has been difficult for me to understand advanced vocabulary and my listening skills are awful 😞

[@highlevellistening]

Fingers crossed your test results turn out well! A lot of standardised tests are really demanding and designed to push your English to the limit. Improving your listening comes from surrounding yourself and exposing yourself to the language, especially when you feel mentally fresh and ready to focus on picking out the words. If you have a vocabulary diary that you regularly review, that can make a huge difference to your vocabulary too! Don't give up! Just keep chipping away, it's a long journey

"Where have you been" sounds like I lost you and I couldn't find you! 😄 We often say this to our cats or pets when we couldn't find them. "[HOW] have you been?" and "[WHAT] have you been up to?" are perfectly normal question though :)
