The cutest couple I have ever seen 😍
Thanks so much Iqra. :-)
@@SimpleEnglishVideosWelcom! Could you make a video on vegetables and fruits names in British please? I searched british one everywhere on internet but there's only American one. ☹
And the oldest on youtube that teach English, as far as I know, :D Great stuff!

Simple English is our path to success. Their kindness means so much to us.
That's very sweet of you Mollie.
Mollie Tai yes
Simple English Videos oh no! you forgot a comma!
I laughed out loud at your choir 😂😂 maybe you can open a new channel for your songs 😅 I would definitely watch all the videos over 10 times 😆 I LOVE YOU GUYS ♥️
Duygu, I'm so glad the choir made you laugh. This is Jay writing and I have to say that it made us laugh when we looked at it too. And we're so glad to have you with us.
English is a very tricky language to pronounce, but everything becomes easier with you! Ah, I was forgetting... very nice voices for a very nice choir. Congratulations!!!
So glad we can help Marymar. Glad you liked the choir.
Lovely couple of teachers. You've got a like
Thanks so much Jairo! :-)
While I'm a native English speaker, I love watching these because I get to learn all of these intricate little sounds that are in our language that I was never really consciously aware of and how difficult some of them are.
Oh Adam, you have the makings of a great linguist! :-)
I love this couple. They are such great teachers and human beings.
Thanks so much Steve. :-)
It's the first time I understand every single word listening to English. You're so expressive and clear and your videos make me think in English. Thank you for that, you're a beautiful couple!
So glad you were able to understand everything and enjoy the videos barbaglio. Thanks very much for writing and telling us.
And you write very well in English :)
your modesty, simplicity, is your strength , itu helps a lot, i can understand itu easily, thank you so much from my very heart
Mei Lissa, you are very welcome. Thank you so much for watching our videos.
I want Vicky and Jay to be my grandparents.
Hi Jamie, you'll have to join a queue. Someone else asked us that. Ha! So glad you liked the video.
You literally answer to every comment, that's the sweetest thing! Love your energy. Bises from France!
We really enjoy engaging with our viewers and subscribers. Thanks for watching our video, Zarrougui.
We love you!!!!! All the viewers love your videos!!!! Thank you!!
Dewan Rahman, that is so very kind of you to say. Thank you so much for that and thanks for watching our videos.
Hi there, teachers! I’m an Italian young boy and I wanna learn American English ‘cuz I gotta go to live in Florida. What should I do? Thanks for your advice. God bless you
Well having just read your last message, I know that you're aware that words get reduced when we speak. That's a great start because that's going to help you improve your listening.
This is going to be a journey Sia Lode A Dio, where you need to surround yourself with the words (sounds and written) of English. You'll need to get as much exposure as you can to English so my first bit of advice would be to make it fun.
What do you do for fun now? Follow your interests and start looking for ways to explore them in English - so websites and videos about hobbies you enjoy and music you like. Listening and reading should be your priorities because words won't come out unles you've put them in first.
If you get a chance to connect (like you've just done with me) take it. There are going to be times when you think your English is standing still and you're feeling tired and you just want to switch back to Italian. Understand that's perfectly normal, but remember every time you expose yourself to English, you are going to learn something new and get better.
Make it fun and it will be a very rewarding journey. I promise.
Hey bruh how old r u ?
Today is 20th November 2019. In Vietnam we celebrate and honor all the Teachers on 20th November annually. Thanks Vicki and Jay for your nice and helpful lessons. Wish you good health and happiness. You are my teachers.
Lieu Nguyen, we are very pleased to be able to help you with your English studies. Thanks for writing to us and thank you so much for watching our videos.
Actually English is very regular if you ignore 50% of exceptions!
That doesn't sound regular to me at all if half of the language is not regular!
@@mysaviourjesus4134 he/she was being sarcastic, lmao
'Literally' is literally the hardest English word to pronounce for me :D
Thanks for mentioning it. It's on my list Ma Sz.
Voy a dominar las clases de inglés de mi escuela con estos videos. ¡JaJaJa! 😁❤
¡Gracias! 😉
Hello Michael Jhonny, so glad they can help. I expect your teachers will be pleased too. You're very welcome.
I cracked up at Jay's 'it's easier to write with a pen than a sword' 😂. Thanks for brightening my day 😊.
Hi Angel. This is Jay writing back to you. We're so glad we could brighten your day! Thanks for writing to us and thanks for watching.
You both are so lovely and helpful. I don't have enough words to say how thankful I am. I love you guys. 🤩
Thank you so much Thaigo. It's great to have your support.
The choir part was hilarious ! 😹😹😹
I love you guys so much ! Thanks a lot for making such nice videos. ❤️
Marc-Étienne Y. Perreault , this is Jay writing back to you. We're so clad you enjoyed the choir, and we're very grateful you like our videos. Vicki and I had to practice long and hard to get the choir part right :-)
It is amazing that after years spent together you kept your original accents.
Yes, Ana. There are a few words in our house that change - is it a dustbin or trash can - I've noticed we have both said both. But when it comes to accents it seems we are pretty obstinate.
A wonderful video, and a couple of new words for me :) Thanks Vicki and Jay!
As always Ahmed, it's good to hear that our video is useful for you. Be well.
Yes, you're good and so truly inventive. Thank you.
Thanks so much Catherine.

Your message touched a very soft spot within us, Daniel. When we wonder why we're making videos sometimes, it boils down to a desire to help the world communicate better, and hopefully become a become a better and more peaceful place. Thank you so much.
Very helpful videos! The word "archive" was a bit tricky for me. didn't think i would make a mistake in pronoucniation of this one
Oh yes, I can see how that word could be tricky Infernus. Thank you. I'll add it to the list.
Onomatopoeia is actually a greek loan word (Ονοματοποιεία) and actually means Name creation in Greek. Fascinating how languages one another. Lots of love to you beautiful people!!

Welcome to our channel Andreaa T. It's great to have you with us.
Hello there! I had just discovered your videos and I'm very enthralled with them, as it is very informative for a Filipino who very often speaks English. Also, you two are very sweet and really cute together in your videos and it really makes me giggle watching the videos and keeps me attached to these videis enough to keep me watching! Thank you very much!
Greetings to you in the Philippines Obek and welcome to our channel. We're delighted you've found us and so glad you like the videos.
May I also suggest these words, "pterodactyl" and "bathe".
Oh I love the pterodactyl idea! Thank you! That's going to be so funny.
I have just seen your account for the first time, I’m really impressed. You are great! I have already watched three videos - I think you are very funny and kind! I’m from Poland, I learn English, because I like that language and I think your videos will help me in the future ❤️ can I have you as my grandparents? 😂
Weronika, we''re so happy you found us. Welcome and we certainly hope our videos help. As for being your grandparents, I'm afraid so many others have asked the same question that you'll just have to get in line (or a queue as they say in British English).
Love you guys!

Oh good luck with your GCEs ZedReck. So glad our videos are proving useful.
I'm neither British nor American but I have no trouble pronouncing those words. I'm so glad English is taught to me at a very young age and even in school all thoughout college.
But still, I'll keep watching your videos. I might stumble on a few words that I'm not familiar with and gain something new on my vocabulary. Thanks for your videos!
Sometimes it's just nice to know we're doing things right. It's great to have you with us, Krystle,
I love these pronunciations videos, they are so useful! Love from Argentina, South America
That's great to hear. Thanks Adrian.
Thank you so much!) I've been trying to memorize how "choir" should be pronounced for quite a while, and now I hope I got it!)

I love your videos! You are so easy to follow. Thank you :)

Thanks so much Elizabeth. :-)
Fantastic job Guys!
Thanks so much Katarzyna. :-)
Wow this was so entertaining! Please make more
So glad you like it and we plan to make more Sophie. It requires warm weather because people don't want to stop to talk to us when it's cold. But we have a great list of words we plan to hit the streets again when the weather warms up. In the meantime, we have more similar videos that you might like. Some of these were recorded in the street too. ruclips.net/p/PLwrM2Wcy_MsAm3Dtqs-PlYCBH_bXLOcsb
today I learned I've been pronouncing posthumously wrong! :o
and onomatopoeia is my favorite word! Its fun to say and I like to look up the onomatopoeia of other languages :)
Hi Cheri Bee. It's great that you approach words as fun to say. It really is the best way. :-)
Another amazing video! You both are the epitome of kindness, genuineness and warmth!
I think the words "caveat" and "albeit" are pretty tricky to pronounce.
By the way: I´m excited about the expression "The pen is mightier than the sword"
Very happy to have you with us Wilfried. I've added those two words to our list. Thank you.
Thank you ! this English conversion very helpful to me.
So glad you like it Sena. Thanks for writing.
If you haven't done it yet, you should try the word "epitome." I'm a native English speaker, but when I was younger, I thought it was "e-pi-tome," three syllables, instead of "e-pit-o-me," four syllables.
Oh that's a really interesting one Kayla. Nobody has suggested it before. I've added it to my list. Thank you.
Haha! I knew that one! Thanks to the fantastic pop band Sparks and their song 'Giddy giddy' from their latest album 'Hippopotamus'. I think you guys, having a good sence of humor, actually would like at least that song from that album. Or maybe you already know Sparks, started their career in the early 70s, hit in Europe, especially England, 1974 with 'This town ain't big enough for the both of us'.
The word 'epitome', I hadn't heard that before so I looked it up in a good dictionary, with pronounciation.
Not the only word I learned from their lyrics.
I'm from Sweden, by the way.
Keep up your good work! 💖
Perfect
That's great to hear Ali. Thanks for writing. :-)
I love this video 💖💖💖💖💖 FC from Thailand 🇹🇭 🇹🇭🇹🇭
That's great to hear. Thanks Panawut. :-)
I really like your channel!! It's bringing back the old days when I was kid, I used to learn English on BBC CD's, I forgot the name of the course but there was cartoon conversations and really nice songs, unfortunately I didn't take it seriously and I stopped after a while, I really like British accent and I want to master it + your style are amazing guys, Keep it this way please.
Much love :)
Thanks so much Ammar. It's never to late to go back and pick up your studies. We're delighted to have you with us.
Really good, thanks, Muy buen video.
So glad you liked it Jorge. Thanks for writing.
❤ the British accent! 😍 --love from India . Please add the word "bureau and twelfth" to your list
Great ideas spha! Thank you! :-)
Hello! I really enjoy this channel. Can you please make a video of the differences (if any) between 'whether' and 'weather', and other similar cases?
Ah yes, words that sound the same and have different meanings and spellings. I think we might start with there, their and they're and see how it goes. It might turn into a series. Thanks for this suggestion Patricio.
I love your videos !!
That's great to hear Diana. Thank you.
thank you for the hard words :)
Hello Raihan. We're pleased you found this video worthwhile. And thanks for watching.
I love you guys so much!

3) Asthma
4) Bronchitis
5) Emphysema
6) Carboxyhemoglobin
7) Hypoxia
8) Interior
Great suggestions. Thank you Thinh. :-)
I love your method of "backchaining," I forward your video to my colleagues and they found it fantastic. Can you do a demonstration of pronouncing "knock" and "lock?" I don't have a problem of saying them, but I cannot explain the rationale like the way you do. It's a bit challenging for some people to distinguish their differences.
Hi Josh. Thank you so much for sharing the video. We love it when that happens.
I can't claim back-chaining as mine. It's technique I was taught many years ago, and I'm so glad I was. It's enabled me to help so many students get to the end of long English words without stumbling. I don't know why it works, but it's a gem and I'm so glad you found it helpful too.
That was really useful, thanks very much 🌹🌹
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for writing. :-)
Hi u saw me two days ago but if u can both answer together. Thank u for a all the great videos you do and I love every single one of them you should be very proud I wish u had 2 million subs because u do loads of good things and ur the light to youtube
