10/15. Let's put'm all in one sentence: It is hard to fathom but feasible for a skeptical apprehensive person to ascertain his avid gumption when he is baffled by an oblivious reluctant person whose nonchalant tomfoolery is pertinent to your dwindling flabbergasted curiosity.
I am not sceptical that Greg's channel is getting more and more popular in the forseeable future. I like its content. I made a guess the other day that your new video was going to be about words. It is not hard to fathom your videos. Greg's videos are pertinent and make English learning a doddle. Thank you for putting in so many efforts. 😊
I definitely know 3 words of 15. They are: skeptical ( the same as in Russian), tomfoolery (isn't it obvious?), reluctant. And I would ( perhaps) recognize some words if I come across them in the context. And there are 6 or 7 words that I have never seen or heard. For instance, avid, gumption, dwindle. Natalya.
(AmE sl) I thought you were cutting down and here you are totally *flabbergasted* again - Я думал, что ты завязываешь, а ты опять нажрался. Use your *gumption* ! - Шевели мозгами! Trees are so thick that a man could not *fathom* them. Origin: Old English fæthm, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch vadem, vaam and German Faden ‘six feet’. The original sense was ‘something which embraces’, (plural) ‘the outstretched arms’; hence, a unit of measurement based on the span of the outstretched arms, later standardized to six feet
I love your accent. Your accent is beautiful. I can understand you. I speak Spanish but I am learning English because I love this language. My dream is to go to the United State or U.K . Thanks for your videos, they are useful for us. ❤
Great one Greg! I got 9/15 . But I have to admit, that I was much more used to the seemingly more difficult words than the, assessed by you, easier ones. I figured that it’s because I don’t speak too much colloquial English. Nevertheless I found it very inspiring.
15... but I have to add that I know how and when to use them, but I'd find it hard to explain to someone without an example. You've explained it succinctly! (There's another word! Lol)
Even though American English has been the standard modality I've learned ever since I can remember, it's humanly impossible not to fall in love with your British accent. I'm visiting London for the Christmas season and I hope that everyone there speaks as delightful as you.
Ah that's so nice to hear, Daniel! I can't promise they'll have my accent in London... you might need to travel a little bit more north to hear my accent. 😅 Have a great time!!
How ironic is it that I know all of these words except apprehensive, pertinent, and ascertain, yet I'm not sure if I have spoken more than 500 words of English in my entire life
Got 8 right, but I suspect that some of them (flabbergasted, tomfooly, gumption and fathom) are used mostly in UK. I don't beliEVE those words are of common use in US.
I knew 13 of them. I only didn't know about gumption and pertinent. However, I'm a non-native English speaker. I strive my best to apprehend a word while reading a book.

I know most of those words, but I'm French, and about half of them come from French language, so I'm not sure my result is that significant... ;-)
I’m an avid Inter supporter 😁 but Liverpool is my favourite team in Premier League

Tomfoolery and gumption, never heard or saw those before.
Tomfoolery is such a great word! 😄

I didn't know 3 nouns : Tomfoolery, Gumption and flabbergasted. Thanks a lot for this video.
Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
12/15. I wasn't certain about ascertain and pertinent and never heard about gumption.
I don’t know any of these words 😂. Thank you for your class. I’ll try to use some of them, actually some are similar of those in spanish.
I love your accent. Your accent is beautiful. I can understand you. I speak Spanish but I am learning English because I love this language. My dream is to go to the United State or U.K . Thanks for your videos, they are useful for us. ❤
Most of the words are familiar to me, but I was mistaken in pronunciation of 'ascertain' 😳
I was quite surprised
Thanks
You're welcome!
I got 11 , some of them lookalike french with a wee different nuance, I would say.
I got 11, but 6 of them were words similar as in French...!
I’m wondering how many of those words are common in American English?
15....yah. I like your easy explanations as well.
14 out of 15. Toomfoolery was a totally new word to me and I loved it.
9/15...my english level is B1
You Just have a good pronunciation.

Well done!!! 9/15 is a good result... and you've just learnt 6 new words! 👏😀
15... but I have to add that I know how and when to use them, but I'd find it hard to explain to someone without an example. You've explained it succinctly! (There's another word! Lol)
"Succinctly".... another excellent word! 👏 Does that count as 16/15?
14. 5 “ ascertain” - missed the certainty on last one just got “to find out” “understand” or “establish”. 😅
Wow! Excellent! 👏
Even though American English has been the standard modality I've learned ever since I can remember, it's humanly impossible not to fall in love with your British accent. I'm visiting London for the Christmas season and I hope that everyone there speaks as delightful as you.

👍👍👍❤❤❤🌞
I knew 9/15 words. I am really grateful for letting me know the rest of words. You are such a humble teacher,Greg.
Ah, thanks! 😊 Thanks for the comment!
How ironic is it that I know all of these words except apprehensive, pertinent, and ascertain, yet I'm not sure if I have spoken more than 500 words of English in my entire life
Well done!! 👏

@@EnglishWithGreg
I learned (?American), I learnt (?British)
Are both sentences correct grammatically?
Got 8 right, but I suspect that some of them (flabbergasted, tomfooly, gumption and fathom) are used mostly in UK. I don't beliEVE those words are of common use in US.
Got 11, I'm Italian and I learned english by listening, speaking to americans. So you're just ignorant af, that's all.
Well done! 👏 I'm not sure whether these are just British English or not, to be honest. They're great words, thought!
One word only.

I knew 13 of them. I only didn't know about gumption and pertinent. However, I'm a non-native English speaker. I strive my best to apprehend a word while reading a book.
