driveway
but drive on a parkway
? Why do we have toes
, not footfingers
? And why do we brush our teeth with a toothbrush
and toothpaste
instead of a teethbrush
and teethpaste
? Sometimes, it looks like English makes no sense! I understand your frustration, so in this lesson, I will make sense of the senseless and look at some vocabulary that can confuse English learners.

as far as i understand, if someone says to me that my nose runs, should i respond him back like, yea dude, and you feet smell??? lol that was fun lecture, Ronnie…

crazy, well done for me !
Hi, Ronnie,
actually in Portuguese we don’t have a simillar word to flammable only to inflamablle. I think it helps things to sound less crazy then they are. As you said: this “in” prefix doesn’t mean opposite
Nice video lesson Ronnie, I got 9 out of 10. So, If you want, you are able to learn Portuguese language. Our vocabulary is so great and understandable.
good comment to sugest me but i want to know more than this
please, next time give me hard quiz
thank you for the lesson.
I will brush my tooth with my favorite teethpaste … I understood perfectly the lesson.
Thanks Ronnie … as always a great teacher.

Thank you very much, Ronnie I always thought about the toes in my opinion it’s not make any sense. It’s better foot fingers :D. The class is very useful. God bless you. I got 10 correct out of 10.

Hi Ronnie! Thanks for this lesson!
Even though this kind of sport that is called American football existed already in some form in the Ancient Greece, before the soccer, according to my survey, I think it is somewhat “different” to call it football, indeed — this is cultural in the USA and Canada and certainly it was a name that was accepted in the past and stood after its rediscover. In Greece they called it Episkyros.
Today I learned about episkyros!
ronne hello would you like tech about other,another,the other,other than,otherwise,each other,one other. thanks.

3/10 i know it, but i don’t know what the question want,anyway thank you senora Ronnie
3/10… me too,
So, I learn again…
Ronnie, it was brilliant as usual. I remember you asked to teach you another language that isn’t so queer. Unfortunately, i can’t help ’cause in Russian we have a lot of words & frases that doesn’t make sense as well! Thus, we have a noun “соль” – salt and a verb “пересолить” (oversalt; пере is a Russian prefix meaning over), that means both adding too much salt ang going too far. We have another noun “борщ” – borshtch (it’s a traditional Ucranian and Russian soup) and a verb “переборщить” (overborshtch), that means going too far as well. So phrases “I’ve oversalted (added too much salt) to my borshtch” and “I’ve overborshtched (went too far) with salt mean JUST THE SAME!! Even my Russian-born brain it’s very queer…
That’s very funny!
In English, if you ruined the borscht, you could say “I’ve botched the borscht”!
Sorry, I meant FOR my Russian-born brain
By the way, Ronnie, when you told about running nose I remembered there’s a book ‘The Nose’ by the famous russian writer N. Gogol’. It’s a story about an officer who lost his nose (no, he wasn’t ill, his nose just disappeared from his face one dreadful morning). Find this little tale, it fits this lesson perfectly!
thanks
interesting,but it took me a long time finishing this video cause of the slow net.
We are sorry. Short of changing your settings to choose lower video quality, there is not much to be done :(
That’s fine, I enjoy the lesson. Thank you for your kindness.
Very useful! Thank you very much !
Hi Ronnie I love your lesson because your very own type person thank you so much
These things make languages to be unique and so exciting to study.
I got 50, but it is a good sign because I have to see the lesson another time to learn more ;)
thanks
Uh oh I made a mistake on the question no. 3. It said which is “incorrect”! I didn’t read the sentence well. So I had to be careful. I’ll try to be careful and read sentences well from now on. Hanamizu!!!!
10/10 6 and 7 were difficult :)
It’s really useful. Thank you!
Thanks
10/10, but I am a “Native English Speaker.” Even the so-called “Advanced Lessons” on this site are too elementary.
Than you for great lesson.
I want to practice my English with native speaker.
Yeay… Thanks for lesson… very like you Ronnie, you’re good teacher :)
That was a pretty good lesson!! Thanks miss Runnie. I enjoyed your mini class.
This was a great lesson.Thanks.
Thank you.
I injoy this video was really good
I like this speed in speking
Yeaah i get it
damn, it’ll be hard now to rethink the “cargo” meaning. I ever thought that “cargo” means transported by car/truck/train, even the Iveco’s truck model called “eurocargo”. hmmm…
thank you very much for your effort
Thanks a lot dear Ronnie for your amazing lesson by the way why don’t make a lesson about the names and pronunciation of your beatiful and freezy Canada mmmm think about it …Toronto Alberta Ottawa calgary soskachewan or cities like these…….anyway…greetings from surco……dear Ronnie
