i got 9/10 very good explanation,ty mrs rebecca.

Confused on using How much and How long. For eg: in first question of quiz. Please solve my confusion.

Hello! Don’t worry! It’s easy! “How much time” means the same thing as “how long”. It’s not spoken as “how long time”. Good luck with your english!

Hi Syedjavad,
it is very easy, when you know how to express quantity in case of countable and uncountable nouns.
You should take a look at this:

Rabecca.Thank you very much.I hope interesting lesson so useful lesson but I think Easy.

I have discovered that learners often continue to make basic mistakes, even as they become more advanced and fluent. So, strengthening the basics is always helpful. I wish you all the best.

Dear teacher, that’s my biggest problem. Sometimes I forget the basics and get very embarrassed.Thank you very much for this lesson.

Can I ask U a question, Rebecca. What’s is MBA? I hope it won’t take too long

Thanks, Rebecca.
But I want to ask ‘in-class performance’
‘in-class’ what does it mean here?

It can refer to many actions you take in the classroom that can improve your academic success, such as participating in class, attending lectures regularly, submitting assignments on time, doing homework and required reading, taking notes, paying attention, and so on. All the best to you!

I’m a italian music teacher; I’m 55 years old and I try to learn English with Engvid. I ask myself if this aim is too hard and difficult for me. English is very useful and I like it very much! But I am so old… In any case I want to try it! I want express my great gratitude for all teachers that share their lessons in this marvelous site. In particular, dear Rebecca, your lessons are very clear, simple and useful. I hope that you and your colleagues will continue your important mission. Thank you from my heart. (sorry for my poor and bad grammar!)

Thanks so much for your warm and kind words, Antonio. It means a lot to us to hear from our viewers and understand who they are and what they need. I am very happy to hear that our lessons are helping you to improve your English, which I must say is quite good already. It is never too late to learn a language; adults have motivation, desire, and discipline on their side and can be very successful learners. In fact, learning a language is one the best ways to keep our brains healthy, along with learning to play a musical instrument! Even if we’re not learning for academic reasons, we can get a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from communicating in another language. It also opens up a whole new cultural world, which I hope you are enjoying, Antonio. You have expressed yourself very well in this comment, and written genuinely and authentically. I am sure, as a teacher, you also encourage your students with a lot of passion and compassion. Thank you very much and my best wishes to you.

I’m very happy for your response; it gives me hope and motivation to continue. Persons like you can make the difference in people’s lives. Thanks a lot dear teacher.

Hello Mr antoniozeffiro, if you like, we can improve each other using Skype: julio.ortigoza2 is mine! Bye for now!

Antonio, I am sure you also make a lot of difference in people’s lives by teaching them the universally loved language of music. I am sure you will achieve your goal of improving your English every day. All the best to you, my friend.

These lessons will answer your question better than I can here! All the best to you.
