THE GREATEST TEACHER!!!WITHOUT DOUBT~

[@DarlikaDor]

EFL teacher here. I am having a REALLY tough time with students - all levels - lately as it concerns spelling and reading comprehension. And the reason for this? All of them became addicted to Google Translator! Take kids for instance. They are super fast to understand and use complex softwares but just give them a simple, small dictionary and get ready to see them puzzled! DAMN!

[@SunnyDaysRComing]

I'm a native English speaker using this to expand my vocabulary in Spanish. This is so helpful!

[@RJAY_LIVE]

I have learned more things in this video than 3 days of my high school days

[@big0013vic]

RJayy 2K so have I :)

[@danyaleandrews8927]

RJAY Me too

[@localidiot4116]

This guy teaches me more than my teachers teach me in a week

[@uenfeichung6284]

I learnt more from here than what my teacher teaches in a month. Best teacher ever!!!

[@zuelinhobds]

Me too

[@LillyLeal05]

James!!!!!!! You are my favorite English teacher. I am from Venezuela from South America. But leaving in USA Georgia for 20 years and still not learning the proper English :( but with you I am learning English maybe because you are good for ADD student like me :) gracias amigo.

[@psmithphil]

I'm a native English speaker from the USA and stumbled across this video. I found it very helpful for using an English dictionary and will use what I learned for studying Spanish. Thank you, James! And I was thinking this as I was watching the video - how does someone who is just learning English as a second language understand what James is saying? Well, I'm sure James has that figured out.

English is my 3rd language, I can understand everything what James speaks but I am not able to communicate. And why? because I am listening English maybe 2/3 hours per day but I communicate in English 30 minutes per week (at most). So in my opinion this videos are not for absolute beginners but for pre-intermediate/intermediate who want to learn something new :-) Listening is ability which you can train everytime and everywhere unlike the speaking. Especially if you live in small town where nobody use English in the street.

***** Yes it is, sometimes I do it too but if you converse with yourself, you use only words which you know so you can't learn new one, if you tell something wrong you can't correct yourself and so on. By the way, I found very useful website where you can communicate with others (usually not native speakers but better than nothing). www.verbling.com/community By the way, my skype is "onody.zoltan" so if someone want chat, drop me a message. :)

You are welcome :)

[@MuhammadEgypt]

My favorite dictionary is CALD, Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. I prefer the CD, as it makes it easier to look up the definitions.

Dear Mohamed, what is the difference with the Longman? I use Longman, it has examples bank, despite in general it has just part of grammar, part of international exams, part of vocabulary, ...etc...But it is useful, unless for the examples bank and the audio...Now i'm having problems with my laptop, the audios doesn't work, but I will see what happens... In CALD you have more banks of examples??? Or is it more complete??

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Gisella Suárez They're all good dictionaries, but as I said, I prefer CALD. It's a user-friendly dictionary. What do you mean by banks?

Mohamed Farouk Bank of examples: I mean that there is a group of examples per word, in different contexts, and with the word as noun, verb, etc.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Gisella Suárez Yes, Cambridge has numerous examples. In fact, it has examples about almost every term, phrasal verb or idiom.

I see! It must be a gem! Longman has lots of examples as well! I don't see idioms or phrasal verbs, but is good for teaching primary kids :)

[@MauricioRamirez-fm1uu]

I realize now that I have an excellent English paper dictionary. Thanks.

[@EugeneAndreyev]

thanks a lot, James ESL! Great lesson with useful tips. Keep on sharing your wisdom and humour!

[@nishchinthkumardewar81]

Hey James, Am from India...You are superb.... The way you teach us is simply amazing...You grab our attention at the most...If possible create a video on Good to know facts before calling USA customers[in terms of culture and mindsets].. And also do a video on common mistakes while drafting an email....

[@istiundcaro]

No, you are not human, you are our superhero :-) Thank you for the lesson.

[@vijayagarwal4190]

[@bastayaafueraloscorruptos3415]

wow. what a teacher. I would have liked that you were one of my teacher. you are pretty good.

[@ursulazinn2853]

Thank you so much your videos are very helpful!

[@uliseslira577]

dude you re cool always thats the way i want to be a teacher english. i would like to teach engish like you do, thmbs up you re supercool. GREAT TEACHER...

[@dan_rad]

Firstly you're an excellent presenter. Secondly... The nuances of language, I wouldn't say "implore" means to beg in the way you demonstrated, begging has a hint of desperation. To implore has a similar meaning for sure but without the desperation thrown in. As an example, you might implore someone in a business setting to make the right decision. You might beg someone for money or not to leave you.

[@zayshia24livingston57]

one of the best teachers ever I most definitely will be coming back for me :)

[@Thermionman]

I was having trouble reading books because I had such a bad vocabulary.I didn't read enough and had other problems in school...Anyways while reading a book I would have to keep pausing every few minutes... to look up the meaning of a particular word.,e.g.,"ostensibly" ,"misconstrue", "duplicity" etc..... but it really helped and sometimes I would just sit there and read the dictionary looking up big words and their meanings.....

[@Antaressum]

Excuse me, can i say "while reading a book" or "while i reading a book"? Is necessary use "i" or not?

[@shanghai_city]

Dairo Rendón The better way to express - "while i was reading a book".

[@keif9447]

This video is old but gold. Great stuffs James, you're a great English influencer.

[@subhadeepadhikari6326]

[@OmarOsman-gr4lk]

[@royalmoslemimperial4938]

I love you channel So. Much

[@ozoneblue7961]

That's is really fun to learn English by James

[@vladimirremmirez7671]

Online dictionaries have word generators. And nobody will have in incentive to just read a dictionary to apply number one which gives you prefixes. So that's why I recommend whenever you read something and you don't understand a word in what your're reading, look it up and find the correct definition. Then apply number 2; make sentences

[@ЕленаЮрикова-д6и]

James thank you so much for you amazing videos! I really enjoy watching them! Thank you once again.

[@jstone9741]

- Yes Hello, James - I really do I appreciate this video this is really great help to me - I am from London UK, English is my first Language, because I was born and bought up in the UK but have a strong desire to advance my Vocabulary which will last me for a Life time. I have a dictionary called COLLINS ENGLISH DICTIONARY. will this be suitable? there is a lot of advanced words i do not know, but i'm kind of anxious to write all of them down because it will be a lot to remember hehehe - because of it being a Dictionary of course. a Particular statement you said in the Vid - "Knowing your Vocabulary is know when you see it, know when you hear it, know how to say it, Understand what it means. "Tips - Look up words you hear everyday. Than look words above and below to understand prefixes. pre means before". these two statements you made in the video, will this be suitable and enough to increase vocabulary. Instead of writing everything down. Thank you Sir and Look forward to hearing from you - God bless you.
