@@jeremias-serus I doubt you came across cantankerous, uncouth or even verbose in 10th grade... Unless your teacher had only learnt English from literary books and had no idea how English people speak. Or you were in 10th grade in an English speaking country...
Hello Ben! I took my C1 Cambridge exam back in December and I got such a good grade they're giving me the C2 level! I have not taken any classes since like 2016 so all I learned was from your videos and your tips so thank you very much!!
@@vilaxsta from what I have learned, watching shows in Spanish (idk your level so maybe add english subtitles or try as much Spanish as you can) RUclipsrs that speak the language and do easy vlogs also helped me a lot, conversations with people, online or anything I would say basically consume the language as much as you can
@@vilaxsta I learned english by consuming contents nonstop, so to add on angs's argument, I would say you should also read/listen to advanced content to make yourself accustomed to the native's view of the language.
Hi Ben ! You don't know but since I've been following you I've learned new and advanced words and adjectives , complex structures and tips which I've used in my English course writings with great success. My teacher has been really impressed by my writing skills lately . I renew my compliments for your channel and its quality contents . Thank you , Ben ! ❤
Im a native speaker so i figure youd want some feedback, we use renew for things that expire, like renewing a netflix subscription or renewing an expired Identification. You would probably say "I reiterate my compliments for your channel". You use "reiterate" when you repeat something for emphasis
@@joshuawirth5423 , Thank you very much for your comment. I was really pleased . I have learned something . I am a passive English learner: I read, write and listen . I live in Italy and I don't have as.many opportunities to speak English as I'd like . I know that colloquial English is another thing . Anyway , you're always welcome if you wish . Thank you ! 🙂❤
@@emiliavizireanu1230 Glad to hear, your english seems just about perfect otherwise. Dont worry about the vocab here, the only ones that have a chance to actually be used in a conversation are gullible, quirky, and verbose (in america at least, the brits probably say all of this). To us, most of this vocab is only seen in old pre-1960s texts
I'm also an Italian and I think your english is really good, but if you don't mind, I'd like to correct a minor "mistake" that you made in the sentence you wrote that, in my biased opinion, makes it sound a little bit wrong: You should rewrite "You don't know but since I've been following you[...]" as "You PROBABLY don't know, but since I've ben following you [...]". I'm not really certain about why I thought this sounded incorrect, so if this correction isn't factually accurate, please just ignore it.
This is the first video that I've watched in your channel. I'm so impressed by your advanced words. I just hit subscribe after a few seconds. Thank you so much for all the wonderful words.
I love the way you explain the words to us. No need for a dictionary even thou i didn't know any of adjectives in the first place. Thank you. Your work really matters :)
I saw randomly your videos and I stuck on your channel. In a few days, I give my own exams for C2 Michigan University. Even though your lessons are for those for Cambridge, they are so useful to me and I'm sure will help me-especially with my oral exams. You probably wonder why I'll give exams at my age, but I support the idea of "live and learn! Thank you so much for your help, Ben. (By the way, my name is Makis-and I'm from Athens-Greece)
That was a fantastic, really useful list of adjectives. We're constantly learning interesting English stuff with you, Ben. Thank you very much. A pawshake with adorable Amy ❤️
Thank you.Sometimes I like verbose people because they are unlike to others,they are strange, unflappable,quirky, sometimes cantankerous but they aren't fickle and never change their opinion ,cause they have good intuition and outstanding mind/brains.They are hapless but they are exclusive and unique, sometimes they aren't aloof but it depends on personality.
Hello, I am a student from Hong Kong, just want to say your videos are so helpful! I am going to take the HK public examination test within a month. I wished I have discovered your youtube channel earlier so that I can learn more from you! Thanks a lot!
This is my first time that I happened to see your video and I found that almost all of the adjectives you are teaching us here are totally new for me and I definitely need to watch this video lesson again in order to remember them and to practice 😀. Thank you for your detailed explanations. 😊 Interesting!
1. My moods are varied and fickle never lasting too long. 2. Being gullible is one of my weak traits. 3. Some of my classmates are cantankerous. 4. I love to spend time with plucky people who help to push me past my limits. 5. I like her quirky behaviour. 6. It's hard to come across uncouth people in my family as we are been trained to behave well since our childhood. 7. M.S.Dhoni is an unflappable person. 8. I think being aloof will save you from lots of daily drama that we experience in our lives. 9. Most of my friends are verbose. 10. We consider ourselves hapless as an excuse to support our laziness.
At first I thought it's Steve Carell. Goog job, Steve , good job! But to be serious, excellent, useful examples and the way it is presented. Ben, thank you a lot!
Where I used to work people would say of colleagues who frequently panicked and did a poor job "he was flapping again..". I always visualised it as some object that doesn't have the robustness to withstand the wind, like a piece of paper or a flag - always flapping when it got rough.
Hi Ben, This is one of my favourite videos of yours. If you have some free time, could you make a sequel, I think we would all welcome it, it's great to learn new and special words, and your example sentences give a very good idea of how to use these words. ( for me: "verbose" is the best like adjective from list ) With thanks and regards, Sophie
All the adjectives were new for me. Thank you a lot! It would be quite useful to take a test at the end of the video to check our knowledge and correct understanding.
I LOVED your tips and examples as usual.there was two words That i didn't know (hapless and unflappable ) when it comes to the meaning of verbose , i found it easy because it looks like the portuguese language e.g" verboso" is someone who talks a lot ,who is talkative...AS ALWAYS YOU ARE an OUTSTANDING TEACHER.!!
4 out of 10. 'Verbose' - I've always thought of this as a positive word because of my work. Most of the time 'verbose' means I get more detailed information about failures or computer program execution, as in 'verbose logging'. I am convinced I'm on B2 level after passing an exam at the university long time ago (got A-). But looking at this short clip I'm not so sure I'm on C1 level :D
Hello Ben, I love your lessons actually. The only one step to perfection is to take care of the typo (for ‘Aloof’, there was a typo in ‘emotionally’). Thanks again and cheers to all.
Hi, great video, thank you. I just need to look up some words to find out whether they are or not offensive, the first one is one I really dont know and the second one I perceive as if he/she is a little dumb a kind of.
Hello, Ben. You made smile when you explained the meaning of fickle. As soon as I heard it, I thought about a few politicians in my country.😅 Thank you very much for this useful video. 🎉
Actually, I have not an adjective, but I came upon a pair with similar or related meaning to quirky: wacky and funky. I think it would be nice to point out the different nuances of these three...
His flick nature showed itself when it came to discussion. He failed to choose a side and form his own opinion. It's a catastrophe when a joker falls in love with a gullible person. He's changed since our last meeting (it was 2 years ago) and now he looks rather older with his gray hair but I'm glad he hasn't become cantankerous yet. As I know he has always been plucky, able to endure what other people couldn't. There's nothing what could scare him. My mother always yells at everyone when she feels exhausted because her mind is full of work things and she's fed up with them. But my father is unflappable and he doesn't even react. His quirky sense of humour excited everybody's interest. He was a bright precious gem among all those gray stones. He hadn't been hapless sooner but for the last year the series of appaling events had happened and that adjective permanently stuck to him.
Holy crap! I thought Craig Ferguson was giving English classes! When I heard you, I thought, wow! Scottish has gotten so much better...lol. Good stuff. Keep it up
Thanks for the video! I'll definitely start using the word "unflappable" actively, since it can describe many persons I know, including myself! Also the word "hapless" seems really easy to remember so I might use that one actively as well! Frankly, this was my first time hearing all those 10 words, so I hope my passive vocabulary has been enriched. I'm leaving a subscription on this channel and definitely will look at other videos soon!
I today came across your one video! Which compelled me to open your playlist and watch more videos!! I found them captivating and engrossingly amazing. I have a request.

I really like your videos that teach English vocabulary and stuff, but I'd really appreciate it if you could explain difficult or rather difficult words in films with the footage played first. It would be very helpful too because a lot of people who have learned English and have upper intermediate or advanced levels have trouble understand what actors and actresses say in their films.
Hey teacher Ben! Thanks for all the tips and suggestions you provide us! I'm studying for C1, and I'd like to know if it's true that the cambridge tests had a modification which will be no longer possible to get double certificates depending on the score? I don't know if I'm being clear, so for instance, I pass C1 with grade A which means I could get a C2 certificate, right?
In the real world no one use this kind of vocabulary, I’m a native Spanish speaker and there are words in the Spanish dictionary that just famous writers or politicians use; never used for the common people.... so your video is 10% useful, perhaps it works for some English learners who are writers or something similar.
By definition, advanced vocabulary is less common than day to day, conversational vocabulary... but these words are definitely used in the real world. They can be very useful for students in order to express themselves in a more effective and engaging way. Of course, you can get by using just a couple of hundred words, but at an advanced level you should be expanding your vocabulary range. Especially if you're planning on taking an exam like many of my subscribers.
Hey...it great to learn with you and posses vocabulary,maybe no actual,but enormous and great words.also with latin routes...I am jublant!thank you very much
Hello Ben, nice to meet you, I'm David; I just discovered and subscribed to your channel, I never heard of any of these words in my entire life 😅😅, I found your channel channel very INTERESTING and useful; I want to ask you a question, all this words are commonly used in everyday life to describe people or like hapless which is archaic, so it's not used very often. I'm so sorry for my poor English, I'm Italian, thanks in advance.
All the adjectives in the video are used in modern English. The fact that they are advanced words means they are not the most common but they are useful not only for exams but also for being able to express yourself more precisely and effectively.
Maybe in a poetic sense to personify the weather, but it's really only used for people. You'd just say unpredictable. You could also say dicey, but that would be applied to a current observation.
I'm in the US, most of these words are used here when we speak, but not all. We tend to say "cranky" instead of "cantankerous", we say "gutsy" instead of "plucky". We describe "aloof" as "cold and distant" because "a cool person" is not the same as a "cold person" in American English 😀
this's my hapless situation ,now i'm placing .i ain't stayed under the title of flickle situation.u're feel me this unflatable.i needed surely cool situation .
Please excuse the typo in the aloof definition. It should be "emotionally", of course. 🤦🏻♂️
