I want to download all speaking videos (all in one step) instead of downloading them one by one .This is very boring . I think it will be easier for your students
We could allow this, but then the website would no longer be free.
Thank you for you doing!
This website is verd good.Thanks…………
Thank you so much for this vid it’s really useful I used to think “live” had just one pronunciation, I’ve been learning English for a couple of years and I had never learn this. Good luck from Mexico
thank u very much.
This website is verd good.
thank you for help me to improve my language skill
Thank you very much for your explanation.
Great video i like it
Nice lesson but it is too short.You could add some other words like Read as a present verb and read as a past verb.What do you think??
Thankyou dear teacher Ronnie! I’m very clear about to use these two words now. It was wonderful explane from you. I like very much your lessons. Can I have more lessons from you in private please? Sencerly Jashar Hoxha from Tepelene, Albania

dear mam rani . whats the different between these two sentences 1) i watch the live game . and 2) i see the live game.
thank you for sharing your knowledge to us.. specially me i really need to learn how to use english words properly, hope u’ll never get tired to help us.. thank you and god bless :)
you forgot to give us the meaning of these words
hi ronie, a have a quation, what is the meaning of live like adjetive?
Live as an adjective means not recorded or pre-recorded.
It is usually used when we talk about TV shows or bands.
How about live chicken?? Am i going to read it as li-ve or lye-vve?? I’m confused with this. Pls.. help.=)
To figure this and all the other times you have this difficultly, you must decide if the word you want to use is a adjective (lye-ve) or a verb (liii-ve)!
If you want to say that the chicken is not dead you can say…. It lives! (verb = liii-ves)
If you want to describe the chickens you can say…. They are live! (adjective=lye-ve) We would use this if we were selling them to advertise how fresh they were!
Thanks,
I can improve my English skills through EngVid

Hi! what’s up teacher? I hope you’re fine & having a great time.
So, thanks for the lesson, As i’d like to say that i do like the way you teach, You’re special & there’s a few teachers who have such way nowadays
Well, there’s a verb “To Leave” which confused many times in past when i started learn english, for example:
– I’m going to leave there.
– I’m going to live there.
To help you with this, we don’t usually say I am going to leave THERE. We usually say I am going to leave!!!!!!
Hope that helps!

Hi everybody there , I am Hisham . I am an English teacher. I am from Egypt. I really get use of listening to native speakers of English. Thank you very much. I have a demand, please can I have all the lessons at once through easy way instead of downloading lesson by lesson. Thanks again. Bye…there
Sorry, no.
Hi! Ms. Ronnie,Can you please explain what is the difference between perhaps and probably?
There really isn’t a lot of difference!
In North America we use probably more than perhaps. Perhaps is more British English!
Perhaps I will drink some tea.
I will probably drink some tea.
Both mean that the speaker is not 100% sure about if they are going to do the action!
Thank you very much for you lesson.
plz add more quiz to enhance learner skill
Hi Would it be possible to talk about sh, tion, su-re,… or some other which is they are the same sound with different Speal, I wander their means are the same or not, and what is difference between them. thank you

muchas gracias.
Leave is like “leeeeeeeev”. The e is drawn out.
Live is like Lye-ve (adj) or Li-vv (verb)…like the actress Liv Tyler. The “liv” is the same pronunciation
Your Lesson always makes me happy.
Thank you very much!!
really I adored your way of teaching my dear teacher and i hope that many lessons have come to enjoy and learn a lot.
Hello mam Ronnie

Leave is a verb.
You can say I must leave. = I must go. =present tense
I am leaving. = present continuous.

actually i wanna ask u
what is the different between
telling story and story telling
Storytelling is an art form or entertainment.
Telling a story (not telling story) is just talking about an event that happened!
I am glad you found the website!
Good luck!
Hi Ronnie I have a doubt
1 LIVE= NOUN
2 LIVE= ADJECTIVE
3 LIVE= IS IT PLURAL OF LIFE?
NO. The plural of life is lives. A cat has 9 lives.
HOw about the different between LIVE nad LIFE, and how we use it in the sentence, I confused about this, Thanks Ronnie, You are awesome ::)))
Life is a noun. Eg… “I have a great life.” “I wish you a long life.”
Live is an adjective ( “The band is live.”) and a verb — “He lives in Ireland.”
Thanks Ronnie,It was awesome!!! :X
excellent. thanks.

Thank you Ronnie,you are my best teacher.But i have a serious question:do you know the song:life is life?i used to sing it but i’m confused now,i think i was wrong and that the title of the song is life is live since live here is an adjective.Is that correct?And if it is can you explain to me what does is it mean?please reply
very helpful.
Hello. Are you going to give us the quiz about this lesson some day? because I´d like to practice with this.
Hi Ronie, I have a questions:
Live (verb) => I live in Warsaw.
Live (adj.) => I love the live music.
and live(adj) sounds like alive. For example: an alive flower.
In my opinion, you can tall use differences between words “live” and “leave” because pronunciation is similar too.
And I’d like to tell you: I love wchating your movie! You so funny and helpful! You are the best!
PS: Sorry for mistakes!
You are the best teacher in my life, thank you for everything
Many thanks

oh-uh, what was that? You forgot what the past tense of live was; to a native speaker. That’s why France shouldn’t have put its nose in Canada.
Hi Ronnie

A is an article. We need it to tell that there is only one of something!

Hello Ronnie could you teach me whats the difference between this two words “living” and “leaving” and I also having problems about the pronunciation . Could you help me on this Please . . . .looking forward to it thanks ^_^
hi! thank for your lesson
One question, the other day I heard the Duchess of Cambridge in a speech the following sentence
“…With effective palliative care, lives can be transformed.”
She pronounced lye-v and if the article was written well I think she should have spoken llii-ve or not?
No, she was correct. She was saying the plural of “life”. One life can be saved, two lives (“Lye-vs”) can be saved, many lives can be saved. She wasn’t saying the verb “lives”. (“He lives in Amsterdam.”)
Thank you!
Thanks Ronnie for teaching with face expressions.
Hi teacher tell me please if you have something about life and live.
You are the best. Thank you.

Hi Ronnie, You can tell me, please
A synonym for “live” used as an adjective (adjective value that sits beside a noun)?
Thanks!
I live(“place”) at the following address …
I live this music, she awakes me.
I live this music, it comes alive.
So as not make frequent confusion, I have to know an adjective synonymous with value. Can I replace the adjective “nice”, “enjoyable” or “like”?
Thanks Ronnie.
