Well done Elliot! I am native English, born and bred in South Staffordshire. All non-native English language students should watch your videos if they want to learn how to speak everyday English and also learn about our culture and good manners. Brilliant!!
Dear Elliot! thanks a million for your videous! They are really of great importance for me because you give me a chance to feel modern English. I`m not as young as you are, I`m about 70,and your lessons help me teach my students in a propper way .Your lessons help them understand younger generation of your country,it`s very important I think.Good luck,with best wishes from Russia
Hi Elliot! I'm Margo. I'm so glad I found your channel, thanks to Suggested videos. It's such a treat to watch and listen to you! You're the epitome of a real English bloke - sophisticated classy gentleman with a cool twist, I mean you've got a nice sense of humour, you're not a hypocrite or snob, you can laugh at yourself, which is really cool. It may seem strange that I watch such videos since I became fluent in English ages ago (this is one of my hobbies), but I still think there's always something to learn. Besides, my speaking became rusty due to lack of practice for a long time, but recently I was given a task to work as a guide for a foreign group in a museum I work. It was out of blue, I had no time to prepare and did it from scratch fully in English (noone else could do this except for me). Thanks goodness it worked! In my time I had got some serious practice with native speakers, and it turns out I didn't lose the skills after all these years! It was uplifting and encouraging, but I decided to give my skills some brush. Also, I'd love to try to put on a British accent for a change since my pronunciation has always been way too americanised. And you seem to be an excellent source! Take care!
Idk why.. but i do understand your lessons easily. I understand what you are saying. Its very clear. Not fast but clear. Hope my english getting better hhehe
This is totally useful! I really wanted to know what you've mentioned in this video! Making questions are easier than answering our own opinions or feelings because we're required two skills like Listening and Speaking at a time without thinking too much in our head. Most all students who love your channel could understand what you're talking about but we just find it really hard to make a sentence and answer it in English in no time‥ there's going to be a lot of factors but I think one thing is cultural differences. I mean everyone has their culture and traditions and our language is influenced by them so much! for example, I never say ″god bless you″ when someone sneezes! It's our culture! so I think we need to keep gathering and stocking patterns and examples from you to try and build our better understanding not only English but also its background and culture!
Lovely video. I have to say, I knew the meaning of the phrase, it was an Easy guess, but I havent really heard It much from my Brits friends here in London, maybe few times. I get loads of "how have you been?" "what have you been up to? but without the "much". Maybe I have weird friends x
I'm so grateful you've done this video. "Up to much?" has always been my most hated question in English as I didn't know how to answer to this properly. Probably as this question simply doesn't exist in other languages, at least the ones I speak. Thank you so much, Elliot! :)
It was really incredible mate, every day i invest my entire being to learn UK common expression, but the videos you uploaded, its really worth. i am new in UK, it has been a month since i arrived here. your videos has given me confidence to speak and sow deep within me a desire to learn this language upto an effective level. cheers mate
I heard this english expression a lot and I didint know what it exactly means !! Thanks for that video ! U're the best teacher I've ever had ! Your accent is very understandable to me ;) I always enjoy your classes . Thank u once again !
Elliot ! Wow u are really awesome teacher !! I love your videos and u as well I'm still in intermediate level but I do enjoy your things that u post.. ❤ Thanks for helping us again
American spending winter on the rugged Oregon coast. I watch your videos because your accent and teaching skills are spot on. And I like watching a RUclipsr produce videos of better and better technical quality. This one is your best yet. Wish I could be a student. PS - you look healthier since you got home.
Thanks very much, Tom! I love receiving comments like this. Thanks for watching my videos. Yes, I feel a lot healthier now I'm home! I think I lost a lot of weight when I was travelling South East Asia, when I really didn't need to.
Hi there! This is the first time I watch one of your videos and let me tell you that it completely blew me away... Here you have a big like! And I'm subscribing to your channel right away. From now on I won't miss any of your videos. All the best, Brian from Peru :)
Hi. I have found your channel last week and I must admit I love it! I'm trying now to see all videos. This lesson was very useful cause I never heard this phrase before. Thanks!
Thanks for your sharing! It's really helpful. I felt confused when my friends used to say 'What are you up to?' Your video made some commonly used greetings more explicit! 😁
My English friends have made those questions, and I didn't know how to answer. Now I know! Thank you. Btw, I love your voice, and despite your authentic and beautiful British accent, I understand everything that you say. You manage to sound clearer than your mates 😅
Omg your pronunciation is very clear so i could get very well! And your lecture is so helpful😍😍😍thank you so much for making like these videos ! Actually i lived in Lonon for a year . But my english is getting worse :/ wanna improve my eng skill through you!
This tip is very useful! I never paid attention to that before, maybe it was one of those questions I didn't understand from natives... 🤔 Thanks a lot!
I am 3d year student, learning foreign (English german) languages, and in our lesson i presentated ur video, and advised my coursemates ( I am sorry if there is mistakes, my english is not good but trying)
thank you! I had no idea and I am an ECPE owner ! Next time I meet my English (native) teacher, I 'm gonna impress her simply by asking " have you been up to much"? :)
3:02 "Last weekend I went to my sister's house and I cat-sitted for her": so the past tense for cat-sit is cat-sitted, not cat-sat? That's new to me. It doesn't say what it should be in the Cambridge Dictionary. Other sources say cat-sat. 😮
Hi, It's been really great to watch your stuff! You do an excellent job and I'm pretty sure that such lessons are so useful and valuable for English learners like me. Could you please go through some kind of things we can't get from textbooks but we should know to expand our knowledge towards to English fluency. Thanks a lot
Thanks ETJ. Really I m learning from you. I love british accent than American. Now I live in london. Please guide me how to be native and how easy I get listening. in this video you also mentioned you made a video on how to connect word. could you please send me link
I was asked this question recently. I had no idea what to reply. Thank you ETJ. I am new scribe your channel and your channel is very useful and practical in reality when I am living in England. This is exact what I need that something useful in daily life. Thank you!
Hi,Eliot! You are doing the grate job, thank you a lot! For me you are the greatest English teacher in the World! Gould you translate ,please ,what is ETG mean? And i didn’t understand what did you say at 3:03 ,could you repeat it again for me, please?
Thank you Elliott, for some reason I always think it is "too much" instead of "to much"! Also I've been misunderstood the meaning - I thought it is asked when the other person looked very tired/not well/awful! So by asking "Have you been up TOO much?"= "Have you been too busy (not able to have enough rest)?" 🙈😂
Your pronunciation is music to my ears ☺️thanks Elliott !
Well done Elliot! I am native English, born and bred in South Staffordshire. All non-native English language students should watch your videos if they want to learn how to speak everyday English and also learn about our culture and good manners. Brilliant!!
+John R Thanks John! I appreciate your kind words. Great to have a comment from a fellow Brit 🙂
Can't agree more.

I lived in London myself in the 1990s and it is always great to hear a familiar accent .I have been enjoying all your videos. cheers mate !
I learnt this lesson when you released for the first time but today also it seems as new as it was for the first time.

Hi Eliot. I love your videos, please dont give up doing this lessons they are very interesting for me

Never heard of "up to much" so far!
That's because we dont say that. We say "Whats up?" or "Wha' you been up to?"
I love your accent!!
You teach very well also!
I like to ask you if you can do a video about British English 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
