EFL teacher here. I am having a REALLY tough time with students - all levels - lately as it concerns spelling and reading comprehension. And the reason for this? All of them became addicted to Google Translator! Take kids for instance. They are super fast to understand and use complex softwares but just give them a simple, small dictionary and get ready to see them puzzled! DAMN!
James!!!!!!! You are my favorite English teacher. I am from Venezuela from South America. But leaving in USA Georgia for 20 years and still not learning the proper English :( but with you I am learning English maybe because you are good for ADD student like me :) gracias amigo.
I'm a native English speaker from the USA and stumbled across this video. I found it very helpful for using an English dictionary and will use what I learned for studying Spanish. Thank you, James! And I was thinking this as I was watching the video - how does someone who is just learning English as a second language understand what James is saying? Well, I'm sure James has that figured out.

English is my 3rd language, I can understand everything what James speaks but I am not able to communicate. And why? because I am listening English maybe 2/3 hours per day but I communicate in English 30 minutes per week (at most). So in my opinion this videos are not for absolute beginners but for pre-intermediate/intermediate who want to learn something new :-) Listening is ability which you can train everytime and everywhere unlike the speaking. Especially if you live in small town where nobody use English in the street.

***** Yes it is, sometimes I do it too but if you converse with yourself, you use only words which you know so you can't learn new one, if you tell something wrong you can't correct yourself and so on. By the way, I found very useful website where you can communicate with others (usually not native speakers but better than nothing). www.verbling.com/community By the way, my skype is "onody.zoltan" so if someone want chat, drop me a message. :)
m cũng đang học 1 khóa học tiếng anh giaop tiếp tại TT anh ngữ Lesh thấy chất lượng và phương pháp giảng dạy ở đây rất tốt và hiệu quả. mà lại được học miễn phí trên paltalk rất hay và hiệu quả... bây giờ thì m đã thấy tự tin hơn về tiếng anh của mình
My favorite dictionary is CALD, Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. I prefer the CD, as it makes it easier to look up the definitions.

Dear Mohamed, what is the difference with the Longman? I use Longman, it has examples bank, despite in general it has just part of grammar, part of international exams, part of vocabulary, ...etc...But it is useful, unless for the examples bank and the audio...Now i'm having problems with my laptop, the audios doesn't work, but I will see what happens... In CALD you have more banks of examples??? Or is it more complete??
can u please make a lesson about how to get new words stuck in ur head because the problem is that i learn a lot of new vocabulary and phrases but i forget them right away

Use flashcards :) or in the internet are many of very useful websites for learning new words for example www.memrise.com btw, if somebody want to chat with me please drop me a message on skype: 'onody.zoltan' (without apostrophe of course)
Hey James, Am from India...You are superb.... The way you teach us is simply amazing...You grab our attention at the most...If possible create a video on Good to know facts before calling USA customers[in terms of culture and mindsets].. And also do a video on common mistakes while drafting an email....
I'm in 2023 and this will be best lesson ever thank you teacher James for your effort and the way you makes the english easy to learn hope God make your life easier 🙏 one day if God well I will meet you in person to thank you

I really like your videos. Your are great and I like your sense of humour. Please keep doing these videos, I'm sure that lots of people around the world are thankful with you.
Amazing! It's so great to find out that what you do and the way you do it is useful, and someone beautifully share those insights to other people improve as well :D
It is good for me to understand your every word. And whatever you said in the video, I am going to do that. (It) is going to build my vocabulary to the next level. Thanks a lot.
Hey, I love your lessons. You make it very easy to understand English, thank you. Please I want to know if you have any videos on when to use 'have' or/and 'has'. I'd really appreciate it if you reply.
I was having trouble reading books because I had such a bad vocabulary.I didn't read enough and had other problems in school...Anyways while reading a book I would have to keep pausing every few minutes... to look up the meaning of a particular word.,e.g.,"ostensibly" ,"misconstrue", "duplicity" etc..... but it really helped and sometimes I would just sit there and read the dictionary looking up big words and their meanings.....
Funny how I was trying to search for a video on how to create my own Dictionary with html so I could use it myself and add/remove words, and i ended up watching this for fun I guess. rofl :3
James, thank you a lot for your explanations and for your channel. It's really helpfull. You give to people a great opportunity to listen English from a native speaker and this opportunity is combined with intelligible explanations. I hope I haven't made a lot of mistakes and you've got, what I wanted to say. Thank you so much for your work! I just want you know that there are people who appreсiate your effort.
Oh, lovely man . Actually , you speak English a bit quickly , i couldn't hear all of words that you said as another videos, but i still understand what you mean and i can study more new words. Actually , i am very afraid to use paper dictionary :)). But your video is helpful . Thank you , guy :)))
Online dictionaries have word generators. And nobody will have in incentive to just read a dictionary to apply number one which gives you prefixes. So that's why I recommend whenever you read something and you don't understand a word in what your're reading, look it up and find the correct definition. Then apply number 2; make sentences

That heart sound was the realest heart sound I've ever heard lol
Thats an edited sound effect ig
I realize now that I have an excellent English paper dictionary. Thanks.

Gisella Suárez They're all good dictionaries, but as I said, I prefer CALD. It's a user-friendly dictionary. What do you mean by banks?
Mohamed Farouk Bank of examples: I mean that there is a group of examples per word, in different contexts, and with the word as noun, verb, etc.
Gisella Suárez Yes, Cambridge has numerous examples. In fact, it has examples about almost every term, phrasal verb or idiom.
I see! It must be a gem! Longman has lots of examples as well! I don't see idioms or phrasal verbs, but is good for teaching primary kids :)
Best teacher ever i wish if i could be Your Student

Excuse me, can i say "while reading a book" or "while i reading a book"?
Is necessary use "i" or not?
Dairo Rendón The better way to express - "while i was reading a book".
I love it! You're a great teacher.
