More than having access to two types of language, American English and British English, the main thing is the conversation between you. While other English channels on KZbin only have one teacher speaking the entire time. The dialogue between the two of you really makes the channel very efficient and dynamic for those learning the language. I really liked the channel since I discovered it recently, and it's already one of my favorites.

Hello, my dear teachers. Ever since I met you both, I have a great respect and love for you. The biggest thing that connects me to you is that you believe in your sincere sincerity. My dear teacher Mark's dignified, calm and sincere stance and my dear teacher Kat's overwhelming excitement, Her sincerity, cheerfulness and the fact that she is always full of motherly and caring attitude towards her students amaze me once again. I hope you have a happy, peaceful and successful life in every aspect of your life.

[@alfredonieto4412]

Hi Kat and Mark, great lesson! I enjoyed it! I understand much better now who an Acquaintance is. In the other hand, I had not heard about Flaky Friends, but I understand now who that is in a group of friends. Sometimes it is myself! Blessings and best wishes. Thank you!

[@highlevellistening]

Haha it's okay to change plans every now and again - only if it happens too much you might be in danger of becoming a flake!

[@Amigosdelmundo1963]

Every time one of your videos jumps to my timeline, yeah, I scream with joy. You are great. Thank you. ❤

i have only one besties.she is a friend from high school.so we go way way back. it has been about 25 years . we can talk anything . specially when we are in bad mood .. we can comfort and encourage each other .that is really nice

[@highlevellistening]

That sounds so lovely! Thanks so much for sharing about your bestie! 25 years in a long time, you definitely go way back!

[@svitlanaradzevych1153]

Thank you for this nice lesson! For me the word “flaky” is new and I like because it shortly and correctly describes the whole enough complex situation. It seems that we have not only one word for this in our language.

[@highlevellistening]

Flaky is a good word for describing certain people for sure! Thanks for joining us in class today ☺️

[@ahmedsayid1910]

The most thing makes me feel the English is easy just when you speak with clear pronunciation.😂💙

Thanks so much!

[@user-wz5lr8is6g]

Thanks for this helpful Episode! How do you call someone who is not your husband but the Partner you live with? Greetins maria😅

[@highlevellistening]

Great question! Actually I think you already said it: "My partner." "My partner" is very versatile. It can be a romantic partner that you have been with a long time. Male or female = "My partner" Married or Unmarried = "My partner" Same sex couples use "My partner" as well For example: "Let me introduce you to James - he's my partner." "This is my partner, Melissa." It's very easy and flexible! Hope that helps!

[@user-wz5lr8is6g]

@@highlevellistening Thank you both!

[@margaritarenaldi3558]

My favorite vocabulary phrase from today: “We’ve been friends for ages” “A friend of a friend”, “acquaintance”, and “flaky”.

11:22 is really cute and funny 😂😂😂, can a woman call another woman as a mate in British or not ?

It’s definitely used most often men to men but women use it too for men and women! My friend, close friend, a friend from work are all common too
