    So glad I’m already following you. Not just about ESL - about communicating, getting to know people & having FUN. Helpful to me as a shy person looking for work. Thanks James and mr. E too.

      That makes sense if you frequently are being interviewed a job, but if you are staying somewhere more then a year I think it’s pretty appropriate to bring up

    Thank you so much for your sense of humour and your kindness which we always see in your lessons!
    I teach kids English and with teenagers we adore watching you so much.
    Would you please make a lesson about the Perfect tense Past and Present as of there's always a bit misunderstanding in using.
    And I would be endlessly thankful about Subjunctive as well ❤
