How's it going! Mercury with gold named amalgama. Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day!

[@comprehendeng]

Yes, an amalgam is a mixture of things in its general definition. In common use an amalgam is a mixture of mercury and another metal. They used it as a refining process. However, dentists used it as mercury + silver to make dental fillings. Someone might have amalgam fillings in their teeth. You got it. Lots more to come. Thank you for your support.

Bu tarz videolarını beğeniyorum. Hareketli bir şeyi izlemek dikkatimi canlı tutuyor. Ayrıca tarih ve biyoloji hakkında bilgi içeren videoları da çok seviyorum.

What a treat!! Thanks for taking us to these interesting places in California. I didn't know about lichen and that it is an indicator of clean air. In the minute 20 08 you used the phrasal verb wound up, I find it really confusiong I have heard it in lots of different contexts. Can you explain it a bit please? am looking forward to the video that you promised about tardigrades. Thanks for keeping us learning English.

[@comprehendeng]

I am glad that you liked it. That phrasal verb "wound up" in this context is "ended up". Terminó. Wound up is judged by context because a watch or clock can be wound up. Wound is past tense of wind and is a verb. The same spelling, the noun wound is an injury and is pronounced as if it was spelled WOOND with the OO sound. Don't you love English. So many ways to entertain ourselves. Tardigrades are on the list but don't hold your breath. It will not be real soon. Thank you for your support and interesting comments. You really help.

It’s amazing in the 1800 they knew how to do that process

[@comprehendeng]

It is interesting to consider. Blacksmithing plus engineering led to the development of machinists. The industrial revolution was a phenomenon of the 1800s. I am glad that you liked it. Thank you.

Lise biyoloji dersinde öğrendiklerimi anlattın. Bunları İngilizce bir şekilde dinlemek bir zevkti! Simbiyotik ilişki

Great video ❤, I want to ask you I'm at b1 level I can understand almost 70% when I listen to English should I continue with more input or switch to output?

[@comprehendeng]

It depends on your needs. If you can continue with lots of input, that has a lot of advantage. If you need to use English in your day to day, then use it. I did not try to speak Spanish early. When I got to 1500 hours of input, I found that it simply started coming out. I started speaking spontaneously. Judge your situation. If you focus on listening input, your pronunciation will be better. I was not in a hurry to speak, but I realize that some people really need to speak and they should do so. I hope that this helps.
