I can tell you, that I like your lessons. When you speak to us, it helps to improve our English. I'm afraid to say something wrong and that's why I don't talk a lot.
I hope I can help you to start speaking English more! Next week’s mmmEnglish lesson will be a good one to watch!

@@mmmEnglish_Emma I want to learn English help me where to start
You are an accomplished teacher! When I listen to you, your fascinating words penetrate my mind and stick there! Thanks a lot, Emma!
Hi Emma! I am very happy with your lesson. With you , I took another step towards understanding the English language. Thank you!
As always, your lectures are great 👍 👌!
Thank you so much for this amazing video :) it helped me a lot to understand the differences between them. 1. Say - My brother asked me to say hi to you for him. - Didn't you say something just before? - They said "We really enjoyed the video". - I have said no to the law since it was passed. 2. Tell - You didn't tell me the story! - Didn't she tell you what happened? - I told you to stop! - She was told that there would be a pay raise across the board. 3. Speak - I can speak a bit of Vietnamese. - May I speak to you for a moment? - Can we speak of another topic? - My grandmother only speaks Korean. 4. Talk - They talked about their wild times in high school. - Can I talk to you for a minute? - She asked me if she could talk about that with me. - Don't worry. He said he's going to talk about it with his wife.
Thank you, Emma, for this lesson. With plaisir, I solved the tasks right. You are a great teacher.
Thank you Emma, as always very understandable.
Thanks for this precious lesson 😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful class.
Thank you Mrs. Emma for your instruction. I love it. Greeting from North Tapanuli, Samosir island. God bless you. Amen
Tks so much for this lesson, teacher! I have been studying English for years and I always have doubts about how to use these verbs. I really appreciate this lesson.
My pleasure!
Thank you Emma. I speak 4 languages. English, french, creole, spanish.

Another impressive tip about “tell” and “say” 😃😃. When I was a beginner, it had been so much easier if any of my English teachers would’ve told me your tip. Thanks!! Greetings!!
I'm so happy this lesson cleared things up for you!
Super teacher, good job congratulations from Guatemala .

Dear Emma, thank you very much. Your explanation helped me finally understand the difference between these words.
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the translation ❤
Great job Thanks for the video PROF mmmEnglish 👌
glad to meet your lessons fantastic
Hi Emma, I was always afraid to speak English in front of the others, although I read daily a lot in English. But your videos motivated me, so, now I speak more easily when I held a lecture, and I even told my best friend to watch your videos, too. She said to me she will give a try. We talked several times about how can we improve our English conversations.
Thank you! I hope I can inspire your friend too! 😃hopefully we will meet in Hey Lady! some day too!
Thank you teacher Emma. Lesson very important for understanding the use of these words.
You are welcome!
Hello Emma, Thank you for your videos. Here are my four sentences, Emma: -I need to talk to you about our weekend. -What are you gonna say about your college degree? - I must speak to my director about my goals for next year. - I'm gonna tell you something important for your daily routine.
4/4 Alex! 🙌🏼 nicely done
Hi
I love listening to her accent! I do understand her English, perfectly! When I went to London, I visited a neighbourhood where I almost did not understand anything people said! I can't clearly remember the place but I think it's South Tottenham. Anyway, it's always nice to learn English with you, Emma! Greetings from Brasil! ❤
I know! Accents are tricky, aren't they? Even for native speakers 😅. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Emma for this helpful videos! It really helps me not only to remember but also understand stuff I've learnt back when I was studying English at an institute I just thought of a question I'd to ask to you Emma: the verbs REMEMBER and REMIND, they are different, right? In my native language (Spanish) both of these verbs are traslated as "RECORDAR", so when put that way, it appears there's no difference
Thanks for the alert.!
thank you my English teacher Emma ❤❤
I am here again, again and again.this channel is one of the things I never give up . Thanks again, again and again💐

Can you help me to don't forget the lessons? Thank you very much ❤ You're a great teacher ❤
Hey there, dear Emma! Fancy meeting you today!🥰🥰🥰 Surely, as an Advanced English learner, I can understand the main difference between these four confusing words, they're really similar, I know it! Lots of learners are inclined to mix them up, it's true.🤔🤔🤔 Thanks so much, my Emma for your clearest clarifications, I love the way you teach us English! Keep up doing your fantastic hard work! 👍👍👍
Wonderful!

Dear Emma, it would be nice if you could make a video explaining the nuances of these adjectives: intelligent, bright, clever, smart, brilliant, sharp, etc. 🙂
I will!
Excellent idea !
Many thanks
I also shared your lesson with my friends too....I really liked your understanding and knowledge about the english language. And it's really too important for all of us to understand the process of this as whenever we are speaking to anyone else we are in a hurry to explain our things we don't know what we are saying or not .
Bravo. Bravo. Thanks so much
You are welcome!
Dear Emma thsnks a lot!!!

This lesson is simple and practical. One more thing I would like to highlight here is the colourful words pink and green, are really icing on the lesson. By the way I can speak five languages which is English, Mandarin, Malay, Cantonese and Hokkien).👍♥️😍💯
Ahhh I’m glad you appreciate the design 🩷💚 Are you from Malaysia, Stefanie? I used to live in Penang 🙂
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Yup. In fact I watched that video you took in Penang with your friend a long time ago. I still remember that you were wearing a white dotted green skirt, so beautiful and lovely. It was an interesting video. I like it very much, Emma. 👍😍
Hi Emma, An interesting and unique lesson about 'talk, tell, say, speak Appreciate your efforts 👏👏. Thanks and regards,
Glad you liked it!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma thank you, Emma
Happy to see you again ! Long time! Sorry I'm busy ! Love your videos
Welcome back!
thank you Emma 😊
You're so welcome! 🥰
I’ve always said that this is the best Chanel ❤ nobody has told me that this Chanel is the best. I’d like to talk to you one day. When you speak to the audience, you get very formal
I have a lesson coming up soon where you’ll see a casual conversation with lots of natural Australian expressions 🙂 You’ll enjoy it!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma I'm fucking elated to watch it. I'm looking forward to watching it soon.
"Who did he tell the information to?" -> perfect example! Drill down to the details, the whys and the wherefores. The color usage also an equipment to teach. "But first your homework!" Well done. It is fantastic learning occasion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello, your classes are extremely fabulous in all the way, I just begun to watch your channel recently.
Thank you and welcome to mmmEnglish ❤
Emma, the affection I have for your end admiration for your work is greater than the distance between Brazil and Australia.
Ok Emma.
Thabk you Emma
Its a common duobt..thank u for ur valuble information..❤crystal clear!!🎉
I really like this Lesson a lot
Glad to hear that!
Nice video 😊
Your way of teaching is very nice
I need to tell you that you are one of the most remarkable teachers on you tube channel. So far I have never talked with you before. I suppose we need to use the word: speak when we want to complain about something. For example, May I speak to the manager please?
Thank you! You're right 🙂
I speak four languages. Such as English, Sinhala, Tamil and Korean. I said I will do the best next time. They didn't tell me about the exam. We talk a lot about our dreams and passions.
Nice work! 4/4 👍🏼
Hi Emma, thank you very much for your awesome lessons! I'm learning a lot! I subscribed your channel only few months ago, and I'm watching all your old videos.The wrong sentences are: "Did he tell how it happened" AND "She said me I would meet him on Sunday"
I'm so happy to hear that! ❤️
It's nice to see your video
Another great lesson, thanks Emma! One observation - what about "tell" in phrases like "I can never tell a lie" or "I can't tell if someone is lying"?
Thanks! And yes, both are just fine Silvio 😊 Tell has that meaning as well, to decipher, to assess
Thank you very much my teacher❤
Emma mem it’s really great lesson
Wonderful Emma super super super beautiful teacher
