Thanks!!
Amazing teacher !❤️ 👏
Thank you so much...I really appreciate your great lessons❤....Excellent Teacher
Thank you for this lesson, Emma. I tried to write the entire text, and I also discovered what a platypus is. What an amazing story! I'm glad to have heard it, and I hope that one day I can see a platypus in its natural habitat too (so I need to go to Australia). Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Haha! Super packed with good things for you today Gabryella! You definitely need to visit Australia, the platypus will be waiting for you!
This is a great practice format Emma, thank you. Apart from the listening practice, focusing on specific words or word groups is useful for practising your writing skills and learning new vocabulary/collocations/use of prepositions. I missed 3 answers due to speed issues so this is a challenging practice that also demands fast thinking/writing. I hope you consider doing more videos like this one. Thanks again, you're the GOAT.
Glad it was helpful Ivan! Practising this way is excellent for your memory and recall as well. I'll definitely keep this format on my list of new lessons to make.
Thank you Bonnie Aussie Lass

❤@@mmmEnglish_Emma
Emma, you are truly the best teacher! Could you do a video based on different accents and vocabulary where you find people from america and UK? That would be so helpful as I am trying to learn more! 😇
Hi! I've dedicated a few lessons to different accents. Check them out 😊 👉 kzhead.info/sun/abiofNmHhJGnoKM/bejne.html 👉 kzhead.info/sun/h8Wff5hrqqtua30/bejne.html 👉 kzhead.info/sun/d9hpd6ZooHmOoYk/bejne.html 👉 kzhead.info/sun/gLaRppesmIqhdJ8/bejne.html

Oh, Emma, if only you know, what a pleasure for a teacher of English to learn from such wonderful lessons of yours! What a lovely story to work with! lots of advanced vocabulary with tricky spelling) Some words were unfamiliar which is great because it only proves the saying "live and learn". Once again, thank you Emma!
I'm touched by your kind words! It's incredibly rewarding to hear that you find the lessons enjoyable and insightful ❤️

👍studying english is still a pleasure by following your creative videos
Thank you! 😃
Yes,I See
Hi Emma, Hope this message finds you well. My students are big fans of your content, because in the past I have incorporated your videos into my English lessons. Your content is useful and of high quality, and my students benefitfrom it. However, there’s a slight challenge - the volume of your voice in most videos is not very audible, especially when compared to other English KZhead channels.I have speakers, but ur the only channel, when I have to move to class to side around the speaker, which at times is not possible to do. As a fellow educator I hope you understand the importance of clear audio in an learning environment, so my request is, if could you please consider increasing the volume of your voice in future videos. This adjustment would significantly enhance the learning experience for my students and make your valuable content even more accessible. Thank you for your time and for the fantastic work you do and wishing you a happy holiday season ahead. Best regards, Rubén KZheadr and Nomadic English Teacher in (Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan)

Hello Emma how are you good evening I just want to tell you your way of teaching is too much good I pick ur way of teaching very easily. U r incredible teacher.

Greeting to you from kurdistan ❤

😊Great efforts from Great Teacher 😊
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson :)
Hey Emma, I've noticed one mistake! While you were telling the story, you said at number 10 in years, but when you gave the answers by the end of the video you said for years. I merely wanted to point you out to it! I find it's a good way to practice one's listening comprehension and see how much you are able to understand. Thank you 🙂
Wow, I haven't been following you for a long time. You look so much prettier now.❤
I have been following u for past 4 hrs ..its amazing..
Hahaha! That's a lot of English!
@davesmith6436 narcissist type comment..is your wife along with u..i know 5 languages,tamil,hindi,english, arabic, and telugu. how many languages do u know? I also know some psychology...your comment is for Emma for her attention..dont mess with indian..

That was a great challenge 😍 I am saving money for „hey lady“; wanna joyn it again around Christmasß I’m looking forward/hoping to see you there 💕
Sounds good @rina.1799! Come find me and say hello! 🤗
Teacher, great lesson! Thank you! There is some years that I follow your free content and I realized that in some videos your audio seems like you were whispering. I'm using noise-canceling headphones and even so, it is hard for me to listen to what you are speaking. That's different from understanding, I'm not talking about the meaning of the word, but the sound itself. This is my feedback, about the media, but the content is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your contribution, André! I appreciate it very much. I will work on improving this in future lessons.
Unleash the power of words with this incredible video that supercharged my English learning journey! 🚀 From vocabulary boosters to pronunciation perfection, this is your secret weapon for language success.
Beautifully said! 🙌
I am learning a lot with you ❤️❤️🙏
😍
Inspiring story, amazing lesson!🌟 I missed 5 answers.
Great job! 👏👏
Hi Believe me you are the most amazing teacher that's I've ever seen I love you 😍

Thank you very much, Emma! It's so weird and amazing to hear about a possibility of bumping into a platypus for people who live in northern countries! :) It's something of the kind of a mythic creature for us. Thank you for such a picturesque scene of the trip! You could be a writer! I wrote "in years" instead of "for years". Please, is it correct to also say "in years" or not? Thank you!
In the context of something you have/haven't done you can say either "in years" or "for years" Most native speakers would probably say "for years" Thanks for your kind feedback! I do enjoy writing, just wish I had more time 😆
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Thank you so much for your quick response! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mam i have exam in upcoming days of English can you make video lesson of direct and indirect speech In my country we use British English
Hi, Rahat! This lesson will help you out with indirect speech kzhead.info/sun/ocmcZtOyfnyinGg/bejne.html Happy learning! 😊
"Our decent" or "our descent"? When you enter it into Google, only "our descent" makes sense. Who's right?
OMG, this story is so engaging that I forgot why I'm watching the video. Is it real life story?
Yes! It is 🙂 I'm so happy you enjoyed my story!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma awesome blossom.
I like sick, so I don’t know if I could get all the words right
I need to meet with you.
