I have a lingering effect on my English from this channel! I indulge in watching more than one video a day. Sometimes it can be tough to carve out some time and actually watch them, but I delegate a lot of tasks to make my life easier. I burn the midnight light because of my exams and you help me a lot by doling out progressive vocabulary. I will try to go easy on myself in order not to be prescribed any heavy medicine by doctors. I am plagued by the amount of disinformation while surfing the Internet. I would love to pinpoint what piece of information is worth my attention. I loath uncontrolled situations so I am keen to curb at least something!

[@davidivlev1294]

Great video! I am fluent in two languages English and Russian, so I consider myself a native speaker of two languages because I speak Russian and English every day. To be honest, my brain constantly thinks in English and I know idioms, proverbs and slang. However, I speak American English and I prefer the American accent because it is one of the best. I work as an English teacher, but I only have one student and he said that thanks to me, he already learned more words in English easily and his mom is very grateful, and said that I am the best teacher for her son. I am glad to hear that. I’ve never had a professional teaching experience, but I always say: Always live, always learn. ( Век живи, век учись.) -It’s a Russian proverb. Equivalent English proverb live and learn. Being an English teacher is a demanding job and many people learn English because this is an International language and it makes this life easier for others when they know and speak the language. When I’ll have other students, I can teach them English or Russian. ☺️✍🏻😇

I'm interested, five months later which of those verbs have been useful in everyday conversation?

[@MrAlanmaranhao]

Wes, It would be very helpful to us if you could make a video of expressions and slangs that should not be used because they may be rude or impolite. I learn a lot from movies, but I’m always in doubt whether I should use them or not

[@MP-me5vl]

C2 verbs 1. Linger (to continue to exist, to take longer than usual to leave) 2. Dole out (to give something, usually money, to several people) 3. Pinpoint (to find out or say the exact position in space or time of something, to discover or describe the exact facts about something) 4. Plague -by- (to cause worry, pain, or difficulty to someone or something over a period of time) 5. Prescribe /collocation/ [Prescribe some medication, prescribe some pills, some rest, some painkillers] 6. Utter (to say something or make a sound with your voice) 7. Curb (to control or limit something that is not wanted) 8. Lure (to persuade someone to do something or go somewhere by offering them something exciting) 9. Indulge (to allow yourself or another person to have something enjoyable, especially more than is good for you) 10. Delegate (to give a particular job, duty, right, etc. to someone else so that they do it for you) 11. Reconcile (to find a way in which two situations or beliefs that are opposed to each other can agree and exist together) 12. Loathe (to hate someone or something)

[@MaquiagemparaEles]

Hello, Wes. For some languages, especially the ones which came from Latin, like Portuguese, some C2 words are not really C2 because they are similar. Prescribe = prescrever. Very common word, a basic student with A2 level would get the meaning (sometimes even someone who doesn't speak English at all). The same aplies to delegate, which is delegar in Portuguese. It's not a common word, more used by people with some knowledge, but, if they had that knowledge, they would be able to understand it, even though, they werent able to speak English at all.

[@VitorH1612]

Very well put here. We, native speaker of languages derived from Latin, have this advantage. For English native speakers, they are not words they are familiar with until they reach a higher level of education.

[@mastermindlinguistics]

Well this advantage (!) can also be a misery due to false friend words.Beginners shouldn' t be left on their own so that they don't make such errors.

Since we are focused on American English here, it is rather disappointing that many Americans, who are expected to be native English speakers, are not aware of proper verb tenses. I read and hear people say phrases such as, "I could have went (instead of 'gone') to his graduation."; "You should have came (instead of 'come') to my party!"; "John must have drank (instead of 'drunk') too much."; "Stella should have ran (instead of 'run') to the finish line.", etc. My friend is a teacher in Long Island, NY and she makes these grammar mistakes all the time.

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. You could use it to add emphasis or you would follow it with 'on' if referring to something remaining on the surface of something else. (They lingered on the dock for a while.) 👍
