I am really fond of watching your videos instead of following other RUclips channels, collecting some notions that are more helpful in order to brush up my english skill.

[@jveng5788]

As a Spanish speaker, I admit that it has been very difficult for me to incorporate "though" in my daily conversation. I think it is because in Spanish there isn't structure to put the contrast at the end of the sentence, which is quite strange and unnatural for us. Living in London for years I have already been able to incorporate it though 😛

[@markdonovan1540]

This is a great video to simplify the learning of connectives. I'm a native speaker and I can confirm that these are very commonly used linking words. I must admit, one of them I tend to use a lot though...

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks, Mark.

[@nandakumarkoc]

Ben, you are one of the best RUclipsr I have seen. You simply rock. Congrats!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

This is an exceedingly good course a really essential one for learning and sounding like a native speaker After studying it intensively one can reach a really good level of English Brilliant

Thanks for sharing Ben. I'm from Brazil and I'm sudying for CAE. Your videos really help me a lot !

Glad to hear that! Thanks 🙂

[@carlaferrauto3628]

I undertand all you say in your video 😀. It's fantastic. So I decided to Watch all your videos. Thanks for them

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Wow! There are a lot to watch (the old ones are terrible 😆)

[@Carmen-qt7lx]

This is really helpful indeed. It makes our English sound more natural, closer to real native speaker.

[@andreagomez4595]

Always a BENchmark! I love your videos: the art of turning what's difficult into simple, nice and entertaining to watch! + a sense of humour. To the point... and that's it! Not an easy task, though!

[@ritagreco3359]

Such a clear, great explanation!!!! Thumbs up Ben👍

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks Rita! 🙂

Yes teacher, I've have seen many linking words, there are a lot of them, it would take long time to study all of them, but now I know thanks to you teacher that you don't always use all of them.

[@amanialzhrani4811]

Thank you so much for this video. It's very simple and informative at the same time.

[@walteraaroncardenasmalca770]

I like so much your videos ! You have a clear accent . I can understand everything! My native language is Spanish!!!

[@cmitapia]

[@jewithdeusjewithdeus1490]

Amazing lesson thanks for sharing and the effort u put in every video.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome 🙂

[@Saha9800]

This video is useful for spoken English, but I think those who taught other linking words had formal writing in mind. If possible, could you do a video on more formal counterparts particularly the ones that are less known such as in that, as such, inasmuch as, albeit, as, regardless of, and the like.

[@antonmartinov3086]

I want to thank you Ben! You've done great job and I hope to see your next videos.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks, Anton 🙂

[@alfred1243]

"Like" is more than a linker among younger crowd, particularly girls, as it seems. They, like, sprinkle, like, you know, like almost every other word with "like" :)

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, it's a filler

[@Celia1911]

[@darlingberdugo9278]

I love it 😍

[@lureal-]

Great lesson!👏🏻

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

You are right, I seldom use the linking though, I got used to using although, even though but never though

[@Neveemind]

I find a bit hard to write an English essay. I have lot of ideas in my mother language but when I try write an English essay my mind blanks up. Now I’m trying different things like mind maps, flash cards etc but no one of them don’t works correctly for me. Please help me.

[@nataliakuzora3181]

Good day. Just recently discovered your chanel. Love it!
Preparing for CAE now. Could you please make a video on formal and informal linkers . For example, in this video you mentioned a linker so. What kind of writing is it appropriate for, formal or informal? Thanks in advance!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I'll see what I can do 🙂

[@dennyreich3500]

Mistake at 3:50

[@martha8913]

You're right but for an exam they are really useful. Unfortunately, real English is not so important for passing an exam.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, that's true. This is not an "exam tips" video.

[@aram5642]

Another linker I find very useful is 'moreover'

[@yiyang6142]

In an linking together?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

@@tothepointenglishwithben. how to say “IN AN accident” linking them together

Ok, you're referring to connected speech. It's difficult to explain here, but it's something like "i na naccident"
