Aw, that's so very kind. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. Yeah, I try to keep my opinion out of it because it really doesn't matter. The English learning is what is most important.

[@suelidoliva]

Hi, Brent! I really enjoyed learning about the phrasal verbs related to stopping a crime. It's important to know these terms when discussing real-world issues.

News is a bottomless vocab resource👍 Btw, Greenland wasn't the most sparsely populated country all the time. Back in the 10 th century the Vikings were making the most of living there. Thanks, Brent!❤🌈

[@Denis_Shakhmatov]

Thank you so much, Brent! In fact, Greenland isn't a sovereign state (it's an autonomous territory of Denmark). Anyway, the lesson is excellent (should be reposted on all social media)

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

True, but since 1979 it has been granted home-rule. That's why I also included Mongolia.

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

Denis, thanks for the kind words.

I am as Muslim and I have read the Quran at least 11 times. The Quran taught me not to attack anyone unless they attack me, to feed the poor, the captive and the orphan, and to love the prophets Jesus and Moses as much as I love our prophet Muhammad and I believe in them all. We have in the Quran it is mentioned that if you kill an innocent person, it is as if you have killed all of humanity. Killing innocent people is forbidden for us.

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

Thanks so much for your positive comments. I loved reading them.

[@user-im1xn1po4f]

Hi Brent, I keep hearing you say 'pitcher' instead of 'picture', is that a bit of the Maine accent peeking out? I like your lessons.

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

It could be. Thanks so much.

[@Aerosmith77]

As the date of 9/11 approaching, I believed your lesson will be about it. It was a sort of disappointment then but just because of the topic. Thank you for the 18 terms, your lesson was perfect teaching them and repeating them - hence repetition is qiute important.

Thanks so much for the feedback.
