I have been to Panamá City, it is a small city, with a lot of visual fantasy, you can feel the grandeur of GOD, the two Océans at the same time, see the Pacific and when you look back at the Atlantic Sea it is to be wrapped in a visual paradise, called Amador.
I've never been abroad, but I hope to do it sooner! Thanks for this conversation. I loved it!

Hi!
Question to 0:34 and 1:44.
0:34 "I actually just started a new job a few months ago". Traditional grammar clearly tells to use Past Simple with adverbials of time referring to the past, such as 'yesterday', 'last year', 'a month ago', etc. At the same time, traditional grammar tells to use Present Perfect with 'just', 'just now', etc. Please explain why Present Perfect is used in this sentence?
1:44 If the word 'just' is used in Present Perfect, why then in the sentence "We just came back from vacation" Past Simple is used?
Thank you.
Hi, great question!
"Just" with present perfect is more common in British English, whereas it is more common with past simple in American English. In fact, American English doesn't generally use 'just' with present perfect at all (except some exceptions, like official announcements and news reports). We are in Canada, so our spoken English is closer to American, but our written English is closer to British. Thanks for your question!
Fantastic. Very useful for me. Thank you!
You're so welcome! We're glad to help 😀

Hello) I'm sorry, can you explain me? Why is on 1:45 in the sentence "We just came back from vacation" Past Simple, but not Present Perfect?
Hi, great question! When we use the word 'just,' past simple is more common in American English, while present perfect is more common in British English. Both are correct!
We had just come back ..?
This is also correct, but it is past perfect and therefore has a different grammatical meaning. Past simple and present perfect tend to have the same meaning when using the word 'just'. Thanks for your question!
So, Embu das Artes, São Paulo, Brazil !!!

Its so nice

Fernanda speaks English very well, but in some words I could notice "bem de leve" a Brazilian accent. hehehe! Hope I can speak like her some day. Love your channel. Regards from SC- Brazil.
Hi, thank you very much! Haha yes, Fernanda is Paulista, you have a good ear! 😊❤️
excuse me what's "bem de leve" -))?
ooh I've found it. It's like a slight accent, right?
Great question! You're right, "bem de leve" is Brazilian slang that means subtle or slight 😊
It's video very well
Thank you!
Thanks. Very good! São Paulo - Brazil
Good Job
Thanks!
The life experiences that I have had are not the worst memories for me. The life experiences that I am going to have in my future will not be the worst events for me.
Everyone has had good and bad experiences, this is life 😊 We hope you have many more wonderful experiences in your future! And your use of different grammar structures is great, keep it up!
Ok, 👍

Warum I’ve had students from all over Europe and Asia mostly warum spricht er nicht im simple present und warum benutzt er present perfect
Hi, great question! He would use simple present to talk about his current students (example: I teach students from Europe and Asia right now). But in the video, he is talking about his current students as well as past students, so present perfect is correct to use (because he is speaking about students from his whole teaching career). Thanks for your question! Next time, try to ask in English, it's great practice!
