Dear Madam Teacher Leila,thank You so much for this so important video and I admire especialy Your moral attitude! I am from the Central Europe(the Czech Republic) and now we have aproximately 200 000 refugees (especialy female).I visit Protestant Church and we try to care about refugees(accommodation,health insurence and etc.).We are only small nation.Thank You again for all and God Bless You.
Thank you so much for such good gesture!
It was a privilege to be taught by you 😘
There are many countries in war... Afor example 🇮🇶 Irak, Afganistán 🇦🇫, Siria 🇸🇾.... They exist too 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hey, Leila...It is an absolute pleasure to see you and your comments literally made my heart bled for the innocent sufferers of this senseless war, perpetrated by a. boorish regime😢
Your facial expressions manifest all this and it also shows how empathetic, caring you are towards the innocent sufferers... ❤️🙏
Hope will see an end to this nonsensical war rather sooner than later...
Take care my dear...
Gams with love.. Xoxoxo❤️
Ukraine.. Thank you Leila for bringing up this topic. It also concerns Poland even though we are still not at war. Poland has acquired approx. 3 mln. Ukrainian so far. We are helping even though Polish-Ukrainian history is more than complicated... Why are we helping? Because we know what war is, means, destroys... Special thanks to RAF which has been flying above us every single day since 31.08.2021. War will unfortunately last for a couple of years... And before we condemn all Russians, think about humanity. We are all humans. Politicians start the war. Politicians...
Thanks a million for your support💙💛
First of all, I hope you’re okay Leila (and Sabe) despite all the anxiety and moral anguish and sadness I’ve read in your eyes relatively to this horrible tragedy. Of course, I am all the more aware and sensitive to it that I share them to a point that I just cannot say.
However, I do not withdraw any of my remarks regarding our actions of westerners and I share your feeling that the world is not Manichean and that there are not on one side the good and the bad. Are there any historical political figures you admire? If so, then I challenge you to read the biography of each of them, except for a few very rare, I affirm that in each one of them, you will find shadows areas that History has watered down, even swept away to keep only the most positive of their acts. For example, I am a huge admirer of Churchill ... And yet, what were his policies and his positions and actions in India for example... Was Lincoln a saint? ...
Then indeed, apart from that of the great Einstein, NO to relativity or more exactly to relativism (!) because obviously, everything is not equal. By essence, the politician must make decisions and the 'good one' if any exists, between two evils, will choose the least and logically go in the direction of what he considers to be in HIS interest and that of his people.
It is therefore out of the question to put them on the same level as Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Putin ... and their dictatorial or autocrat. madness. And I would add Bush to the list without the least hesitation (the high estimate gives more than one million Iraqi deaths).
I despair of the profound intrinsic nature of Man and perhaps not of that 'will of power' proper to all life of which Nietsche speaks about, but of his taste for power, his greed, his insatible greed that lead him to despise this miracle of Life at the mere idea of power and money to the detriment of any other value.
And my heart bleeds on the fate of the Ukrainian people as I cried on the fate of the Iraqi people.
Nothing can justify the action of these autocrats, nothing ... A man who dies is a whole world that disappears.
Justify, no! Try, try to understand, yes absolutely! And I wonder about geopolitics and our actions as Westerners. When a man blows himself up with his TNT belt around his waist in the middle of a crowd; When a man rushes a plane over a tower ... Nihilistic and deadly monsters whose existence cannot be justified. So I try in total desperation to wonder about the root causes of what is capable of generating and engendering such a monstrosity ...
I’m Iraqi, a bomb from Uncle Sam whom I didn’t even know existed razed my village and destroyed my entire family, the people I loved. My grief is unspeakable, I was basically a man. My revolt and hatred towards this West is immeasurable. This religious fundamentalist told me who they are ... what drives them. My monstrosity has surpassed ... that of those who gave birth to it.
Kisses Leila & Sabrah 🥰🌹🧡🕊
Hi Leila. Thanks so much to Sabrah and you for this amazing initiative echoing the voice to peace. As you said, this site is not so big in terms of audience. But there are not little actions. As they say, "les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières" ("little streams make big rivers" and "great oaks from little acorns grow"). And yes, with your call, you make a difference.
I personally have written that poem that I submitted for a project of a book in favour of peace and support and solidarity to Ukraine and whose raised funds will be donated to the UK DEC appeal.
Except in my author notes, I chose to not enter the political ground and give my voice to a young Ukrainian girl taken in the torment of tragedy and addressing and conjuring death for the hope of life and peace. Here it is:
The Young Ukrainian
"Respected by the scythe matures the nascent ear
Vine branch all summer long, far from the press' fear,
Drinks from the dawn the sweet presents
And I, young like it and like it beautiful
Whatever present times are of fright and trouble
Die already I do not want ...
Let a dry-eyed Stoic fly and death embrace
I hope and I weep; in the dark Northern breath
I bend down and lift up my head
If there are bitter days, there are the sweetest
Alas! Which honey never has left disgust...
Which is the sea with no tempest?
The fertile illusion dwells inside my womb.
On me weigh in vain the walls from a prison
Of hopefulness I have the wings
Escaped from the nets of the cruel birdcatcher
To heavens countrysides, livelier, happier
Philomene takes her flight and sings
Do I have to die?; tranquil asleep I fall
Quiet I watch over and my eve by remorse
Neither my sleeping are plagued by
My welcome to the day laughs in all the eyes;
On dismounted fronts, my appearance in this site
Almost brings back kind of delight
My nice journey still is so far from its bail
I leave and of the elms that border the trail
I barely got past the first ones
At the banquet of life that has hardly begun
Only a moment my lips gave a pressure
The cup still filled within my palms
I'm only in spring, want to see the harvest
Just alike the sun from seasons to the next
I want to complete the year run.
Shining on my stem, honor of the garden,
I have only seen of morning the glimmers
I want to reach the setting' sun
O death! You can wait; go away, go away!;
Go and comfort hearts that shame, fright or dismay
Or other pale despair devours.
For me Palès still has green asylums,
The Love of Kisses, Muses of recitals
I won't see yet my last hours!"
So, sad and helpless, my lyre nevertheless
Awoke, hearing this voice, these wrenching complaints
These vows of such a young captive
Shaking the burden of my languid days n' rants
To the sweet laws of verse I bent the accents
With her lovable mouth naive
These songs, of my distress, harmonious attestors,
Will make to some lovers some studious leisures
To find out whom this beauty was:
The Grace adorned her prayers and her forehead
And, like her, the end of their days they will dread
Those who them by her side will pass

And to the vile foul NATO scavengers - BideHaine, Mackerel, Van der La Hyena, TrouD'eau, Johnassson, SlotInBerk...)
Thanks so much Leila and Sabrah 🙏for your inititive and positive thoughts and showing solidarity and sympathy to Ukraine. 🧡🌹🌹🕊🕊
This time the tone was serious but right, sincere, down to earth and compassionate. You are such a class act Leila! Bisous 🥰
Great to stand aside with the suffering people in the conflict zone
To all who read this, we do not know each other and probably never will, but I wish you all the best in life and above all peace 💕🥰.
Thank you! First of all for your moral attitude!
I am from Ukraine. I and WE ALL here DO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL MANAGE TO STAND AND TO BEAT ALL THE ENEMIES!🙏🙏🙏❤
WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE🙏❤
Nato makes Russia defend. I sympathize for people of Ukraine, but this war is fault of western world.
You have a really warm heart!🤗🤗🤗
And thank you for your support!!
helping other is good but not only a community, I think it's sad, because they are white ( moreover lot of them are neo-nazis)....I have never seen a video on your channel about supporting other country that suffer about many years of war like in Palestine, Yemen , Afghasnistan ... in Africa as well .
I completely understand what you are saying and you are quite right. Because these refugees are European then are being treated very differently in the media. We must raise awareness of just how many people are living as refugees . It’s disgusting and the West is to blame for much of it. 💕

I do not understand either, Leo! That is a great and an important one! :-)
Thank you for supporting piece in the world. It's not just a war with one country it's a thread to all democracy and common sense. I really din''t think it's quite possible in out day and age to invade a country like this. We all shouldn't take peace for granted anymore. I
Hi again please make videos of high language vocabulary and tenses
That's definitely the spirit we need for people who need not just your help but the world's help wholly. I liked the quotes you shared in the video, that's refreshing to know that war is unfortunately inevitable no matter how far we've gone. However, people fleeing their homes is what humanity has witnessed and forever will, I think! Besides, I liked more the Mahatma Gandhi's quote which is generous saying (paraphrased) people affected by war won't see any difference in the type of regime shelling them. Finally, I guess it would've morally been equal if this donation and sense of hospitality, full of compassion were shared with the rest of the world as human beings are dying of the lack of necessary elements to survive and ultimately live with dignity.
I think people need your help to organize such or at least share not just in the case of war but for other reasons governments of the world left them dying of. Unfortunately, their voices can't be heard, just because one is louder than the others'.
Just think of COVID-19 and the respiratory ventilation crisis, how devastating it was for the whole world!
If we were to be one world, we have got to raise our heads to see what's beyond.
We indian is suffering from most difficult situations we want to help ukraine but russia is good relations with india he stand for us at every time
You guys legend 🙌
What does the sentence mean:- if you don’t have anything nice to say, i prefer we not communicate. And what does the word "prefer" mean here and i would really appreciate it if you explained the grammar of the word "prefer".
Prefer means: to like something more than something else (more than another thing)
In your example the person says (I simplify): if you don't say something nice, then I ' like more' that we don't talk together = I prefer that we don't communicate
If you are a speaker of the arabic language:
إذا لم يكن لديك أي شيء لطيف لتقوله، فأنا أفضل ألا نتواصل
Hope that helps. Greetings!
💛💙
Dear Ma'am, would make video on tense and grammar which is useful for speaking english, writting , understanding....? Please.
War is not the solution to end conflicts. It brings destruction, death of innocent people and calamity. Normal routine life is disrupted. As Jesus Christ said, "Love God with all your strength, mind and love your neighbors as you love yourselves. When we love all the peoples of the world, irrespective of nationality, religion, colour and creed, there will be no wars. Instead there will be peace, stability and prosperity.
Let's all resolve to love each other. Thanks dear Leila for your concern. Thanks for using a quotation of Father of our nation - the great Mahatma Gandhi ji.
Absolutely Koshy! 👏As every wars end up with a peace ... So why not start there and with it? ... :-) 🕊💞
Thanks. Agree 👍

hopefully peace will be back to all over the world again 🌎 ✌️

The Mindless
Far In the distance I see a fleet of flags
While around me kids are being gunned down
Far away I see the flags that wobble
I spot the hammers, and not the sickles
Bloodsucking bastards on me have fallen out
On lapel of the uniform, a sign...deformed
Vague memories of proud people, raised fists
Lost Czechoslovaks, running in the streets
Turned toward the West, nothing new at all
At your door these have re-opened the burial
East, the sight of their tanks, will let you haggard
They'll just leave you...Haggard
Far In the distance flags fly from the roof
Along the avenues, men in the Jackboots
Far away I see the flags that wobble
I spot the hammers in step with the sickles
Mindless beasts, well-trained, propaganda wheel
Who from a gesture, just one, bring you to heel
Ideology founded on your corpse
Hear them sing their guns pointed on your head
Hear them boast about their politic system
Where you toe the line with the whip and the cops
Guess them courteous, if you move, I shoot you down
Guess them ferocious, when your kids they'll napalm
Far away I see some masses of flags
And around me kids spilling out their guts
Far away the flags are going up in flames
Screaming in cities run your wives, in pain
Your souls,...in pain
So just stay carefree, so remain bemused
Invite them to drink, to eat, to be amused
Sat at the table, they'll speak of stifled cries
Of dominion of death and their other lies
Poo Tin came to you for his satisfecit
To see you kneeling and stretching your cheek
Spit in his face in ultimate in the wild
Take him in your cross, aim the head with no sag
Afar make it I never see flags again
And the families can prosper without pain
So children can run, play, have a laughter
With no hammer blow, nor sweep of the reaper
...
Kids go on laughing and being beautiful
With no hammer weight, nor shade of a sickle
Happy to make a quote video. I'm from India. My great prime minister is the strongest man Narendra modi. I'm a language trainer.

Please do not forget to support other nations who suffer from occupation and foreign invasion as Palestine,Iraq.Syria. Lybia. Yemen....
Absolutely !!! 👍👏
I wonder if you have ever watched Graham Phillips on RUclips...
Yes and I know his position and that of Anne-Laure Bonnet as well who had tried to alarm about what was going on in Dombass an Donetsk as soon as 2015. That is a real absolute shame that the western press and medias have somehow silenced what occured out there with the agression of the Russophones. Shame on the nato to not have contributed to make respected the Minsk agreements and somehow having dangled an enticing promise to ukraine about the possibility of integrating NATO and probably having comploted inside the country. All that though knowing that Putrid would anyway be inflexible on its red lines! From that perspective I consider nato to be very largely responsible of what occured...and this all the more so that since the fall of the wall, it cannot be denied that all the agreements with Russia have been flouted and trampled underfoot. if he isn't responsible, it is no less true that Poo Tin is guilty having committed that invasion and agression of a sovereign country. He is the agressor and guilty of the death of innocent people and seemingly many others to come. In the same way Ukraine is responsible for having let operate these factions that had been agressing Dombass for 8 years (since 2014). Had Putrid defended these regions, it would probably had been more 'acceptable' than invading a whole country and killing more and more innocent people ...For that, he has fallen down in the the depths of my disgrace and contempt... As much as I despise those NATO rats who in any case were no longer needed since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact! Yeah, I claim that these nato rats were not useful anymore and have since committed enough dammages all around the word and especially for the greed of the U.S. as all the others are their puppets and their vassals! ...
Do you plan to send money to the ukranians/ refuges who fled to Russia saving their life?
Stand with Donbass! 🇷🇺
Stand with Donbass. Z!
Since people have brains, there is still hope. Thank you, guys! Donbass needs your mental help. I'm from Donbass, I know what I'm talking about, Ukrain has been bombing us since 2014. It's horrifying. This will soon come to an end.
@@Leo007619 If you were from Donbas, you wouldn't say so. I know quite a few people from Donetsk, All of them have quite the opposite opinion. And so all the world, except for Russians who only watch their national TV

Dear ladies. You enter into the area where you know strictly nothing. You have a language platform. Do not mix it up with politics. Why were you not supporting people in Donbass bombed since 8 years? And all other from other countries. You ask to share what I think. So listen. Russia is liberating Ukraine from fascist regime. Criminal regime with regards of their own people. It was not a good idea for you to make political comments . As for proverbs ' they are good.
I don’t think I mentioned the politics at all. I’m talking about refugees, ALL refugees…I do not support any war, including those that western governments have started.
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah so limit yourself by general statements but not particularly in connection with Ukraine. You showd also Ukrainian flag. Why? Are you Ukrainian? It is already the demonstration of your position. Once again I repeat it was a very bad idea to mix up your language platform with this political issues in which you know nothing. There are 3 million refugees in Russia who left Ukrainian territory during these 8 years. Why don't you speak about them? You do brilliantly your job as a teacher. Stay please within this limits.
Shame on Russian government, Putler and all their supporters, including you!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah dear leila, what can you say about Minsk agreement, way to peace, that was sabotaging by Ukranian government? What about hundreds of children killed by Ukranian shellings for 8 years? What about leaders of Germany and France who were guarantees of agreement, but started fuelling war next day after signing? Why you didn't awake 8 years ago, after nazi coup in Kiev? Can you explain?
Who the heck are you to tell Leila what she feels like doing or saying?!!! ... She never ever evoked Politics; please balance things! ....
Thanks for your support for the Ukraine. The Russian occupants won't give up hopes to take the capital city of Ukraine, today a missile was shot right above the place where I used to live before moving to Poland. The debri hit an apartment house, and even though no one died, the funnel from the missile in the ground looks atrocious. Not to mention, the house caught on fire and it's 100 yards from a kindergarten.
Hard to know what to say …so awful 😞
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah Whatever money you can collect & send to our Military will not be redundant because our Army people have the ability to stop Putin's occupants once and forever, nip the evil in the bud, so to say :) If you provide enough support, the war will stay inside the Ukraine, just like NATO wants.
Any Palestinian ones ? Or Iraqi ? Or Syrian? Lol bye Ukraine
You shouldn't judge like that. Of course that is a real interrogation most westerners shoul have as somehow, we feel more 'touched' only because the drama is at our doors. The same prostestations and solidarity should be manifested regarding the cases you quoted and unfortunately many others such as Yemen currently.
Leila evoked Ukraine but also all the other refugees...
Probably she felt it more now having a kid. Regardless, she did the very right thing with a lot of modesty, heart and nobility.

Hi Leila.
It really saddens me to see people running for their lives crying and scared like what's been happening in the news lately... I can only imagine how devastated these people must be feeling right now, the children, elderly people etc. "We Owe Our Children; The Most Vulnerable Citizens in Any Society a Life free from Violence and Fear"~ Nelson Mandela ♥️
You're a great mother Leila...🌟Thanks for this lesson👏
Beautiful quote, thank you 😊
Stranger, foreigner! What does this word mean? What !
On this rock I have fewer rights than in this field! What! I've crossed this river, this path, this blue or red line visible only on your maps, and the trees, the flowers, the sun, no longer know me!
What nonsense to pretend that I'm less of a man on one point of land than on the other!
You tell me: We are at home and you are not!
- Where? Here? All you have to do is dig a pit, and you'll see that the earth will receive me just as well as you.

Quelle ineptie de prétendre que je suis moins homme sur un point de terre que sur l’autre !
