[@khaledhussein9850]

Hey mr.wes I really enjoying watching your lessons ,and I’m student in America specifically in Michigan and I really need someone to talk with , I find talking to adults especially English teachers is more comfortable cuz you know that I’m still beginner and you won’t make of the person you talking to so how can I talk to you if you don’t mind .

[@khaledhussein9850]

I really need your advices and I find watching your videos enjoyably I ain’t getting bored of your lessons.

[@ricardopereira6710]

By the way, could you please explain the difference between "a/the way to do sthg" and "a/the way of doing sthg? I have heard both so far, sometimes in the same context, but it is like "to like doing sthg" and "to like to do sthg", there must be a difference.

Hello

[@eugelenarcisse7025]

This lesson has been offered great opportunity to improve English vocabulary. A grim situation brought my father's business into bankruptcy, so it shrunk the business first, and finally it collapsed. That situation has been showing a severe scarce in our life, the failure is like our activity fell off a cliff.

[@sahulaaard8802]

Hi, all! Have a great quarantine day. Just came up here and say thanks to you. This channel help me a lot. I was hesitant back then to say one single word in english. But screw this, i am gonna do it. So what i do to improve my speaking is talk to native online, and starting my own english basic youtube channel. Those is the only thing that i can think the best. Haha, my speaking still slow and akward though, but at least i've tried.
