Hi Emma, great job! By the way, “deal with” is a phrasal verb (transitive and inseparable), isn’t? If possible make us a video about it, please. À bientôt! :-)

This is really true! Positive thoughts are so powerful to enhance your speaking. I used to think to be perfect all the times. However, I have different perspective now because as Emma said, making mistake is the best way to learn.

Now I am so happy for this lesson and I will try my best

from your speech I found that you love variety of foods in many restaurants and nightlife. ok, ok enjoy.

amuden, india.

Dear Emma, Thank you for your lesson. I have problem with listening to English conversation, like radio drama and English movies and understanding them. But I understand your lessons easily. I wanted to ask you if it is possible choose occasionally a social or scientific subject and speak about it for 15 minutes. So, I will be used to listening to native English speaker. Thank you in advance.

fereydoun22

thank you Emma, and please teach us some ‘key expressions’ too sometimes. i think it’s really important.

I have been studying english for 6 months , I face some problem , If I want to say something I can’t express my thought directly , what do I do to improve my English ?? I hope somebody help me

erasil

I had the same problem. Fortunately, a friend of mine also needed to learn English, so we started to talk in English and correct one another. It worked. Of course, I still have a lot to improove, but I became more confident. Good luck!

question

Thanks for your reply , I hope I would find somebody to study together

erasil

I have this problem, too. :(

I know that you would answer me so THANKS IN

Valdir

Why we are not creating any chat windows in this website ?

Mete

Hi Emma,
Walking before a presentation helps calm you down? Sorry, I don’t buy that. On the contrary, I believe that walking might excite you since it increases your blood pressure. Please elaborate on this idea further if you can.

Khaled

Who could me explain when we say : ” I don’t have…..” and when ” I have not……..” ?
Thank’s Emma for Your Lesson

Votre lecon d’aujourd’hui est très intéressante ! En effet, parfois j’ai du mal à m’exprimer sans une raison sérieuse ! Mais vous avez raison concernant l’utilité des Mantras ! (I’m sorry for writing my comment in French ! it’s just a way to thank you ! )

bilel

Thank you so much teacher Emma helping us to talk to the people without anxiety…I was able to understand almost all you said on the video…( surprise!!)

Michele Porricelli

Hi Emma,

These tips will be quite useful. I really enjoyed them. What a great class ! I watched twice to ensure that I understood all you told.
By the way, I would like to ask you to create a class about how to email for someone or for some Company properly. I have several questions about that. How start and finish a formal email. How to start and finish a informal email or letter as well.

Thank you very much for share your knowledge with us.

caotri2707

How to bring Fluency in language??? Many times i fumbled in between conversation…. that makes really bad impression of mine. Would U help me out ?????

sanket64

In my religion breathing is deeply important because it calms and relaxes you, AND it brings the life force of the universe into your body, so for question number four both answer number 3 and 4 would be correct. Oh, hey sorry ALL of the answers are correct. You need to pick better answers, this can be very confusing for Hindus.

Eric

superb……

magi

Thanks ms.Emma,you are good teacher,:)

tarim

Dear Emma,
I just saw a previous lesson about Lie VS Lay. Very Useful, indeed.

But in this lesson in pointed out one problem I have with articles. Especially THE.

Your exemple :
I've laid dinner on the table.
The dinner was laid on the table.

Why there is not THE in the First sentence??

Althought I saw others lessons about articles, countable an non countable nouns, Countries / oceans / rivers rules etc etc I still have some problem about when using THE or not.

Thks
Maybe the problem is also because I’m french and it’s difficult for us to get rid of this issue because we have articles everywhere. )

Hi Norja. Speaking for me is like cooking. It’s not always perfect, yet it can still sound very good when you relax, breathe and do your best. You just got to believe in yourself until you get it right. Thanks. Regards, Rene.

Renebon

It’s great,Thanks a lot.

chris123123

Hello Emma, As a French I’d like to congratulate you for your lessons. In my opinion, the most important to get a higher level is to be able to increase your confidence… The question is : How can you do that ??.. I strongly believe that doing many things at the same time (like children do actually…) : speaking, reading, watching movies (with or without subtitles) is the best way. Whatever your level, anyway, you have to keep going and as you said, you should always try to think positevely !!… Eric. I’d very happy to skype with you without bothering you of course. Let me know. All the best.
