The subtitles in your previous videos had extra emphasis on the words... so that the words that come out of your mouth when you speak are emphasized in the subtitles. I wish that feature had stayed, everyone is adding subtitles, but it was a different nice innovation...

[@highlevellistening]

We liked it too! Until we watched lots of videos and it started to hurt our eyes along with other students, so we removed it and it was easier on the eyes. 😌

[@highlevellistening]

Nice - I haven't seen that one actually.

[@lili-nn4di]

i like to help. because it is a good chance to practice english. but it is a bit of awkward if i just go straight to a tourist see if he or she need help. maybe he or she take the wrong way. .anyway many thanks . i learned many good expressions . and i really like you two . good job

[@highlevellistening]

That's a good question and a common worry. We recommended throughout the episode to start with "Sorry" or "Excuse me" - this will be more polite and hopefully avoid making the situation awkward! Thanks so much for watching us once again!

[@andrea00f]

This episode has been so great!!! ❤❤❤ well, all of them have... 😂 The main attraction in my town is the river... the Limay river. It's also near the oil field Vaca Muerta, if you are into the oil &gas business... and where's oil, there's a Museum of Dinosaurs... it's a small one, but great to show the ancients inhabitants of these lands 😂. Come to see them!!!

[@andrea00f]

I missed saying it's in Neuquen, in Argentina.

[@highlevellistening]

That sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing, we’d love to come be a tourist in your city!!

Thanks so much for watching today! Happy to have you here ☺️ and good to hear you enjoyed it

[@alfredonieto4412]

Thanks Kat and Mark, lovely episode, with lots of great conscise phrases anyone can use. Very handy when we need directions in a big city, where we can feel threatened to interrupt the busy locals with our questions. Thanks very much.

[@highlevellistening]

That's so great to hear! That's exactly why we chose these kinds of phrases, in another language it's really hard to know if a phrase is quite "blunt" or more polite.

[@adalbertouribe8355]

Thanks for give me the opportunity for practice, study and learn with you, really I'm feeling so happy taking tour classes. Thanks very much.

[@highlevellistening]

That's so lovely of you to say! We're really glad that you're able to study with us!

[@AmeraAlawer]

Impossible how reliable you are ! The topics you choose for your episodes are exactly what we need . It is so helpful to indicate and illustrate every detail . Thank you ever so much cute teachers. If there is any chance you could give us a lesson about punctuation.finally I always would like to have my mistakes corrected, if you please .

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment - we're really glad you've been finding our episodes useful! We will add the punctuation lesson to our list of student suggestions!

[@masonfree2523]

I listen to your episode everyday when I am on the way home or commuting to work. It is just a perfect combination of your voices as I am able to learn both the US and UK accents in one shot.
