Hi:) even though I know some stuff you are teaching I watch all of you videos because I love your performance. I wish I had such a great resources when I started my adventure with English so my English would be perfect by now.
Yes, I suspect this video was pretty simple for you Anna Anna? But sometimes it's nice to go over stuff we know to remind ourselves. So glad you liked it.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Exactly, I refresh my English but I also learn a lot from your videos. The way you teach helps to stick the knowledge in my head easily. I love your sense of humour, your positive attitude and beautiful smile. Thank you:)
Quite engaging, from beginning till end! And choosing the context of cooking the soup is brilliant! Very wise to go vegan, Jay! I'm sure this video will inspire many :) Thank you guys, I loved it :)
This is Jay. Going vegan was a good idea. My heart doctor is very pleased with the results.
That's great to hear, Jay :)
شكرا لكم تحياتي من مصر
Thanks very much Elsayed. Greetings to you in Egypt!
I Was Vegan for Two Years. and it really works. Good Video.
Hi Alejandro, Vicki here. I was surprised when Jay went vegan and I didn't expect it to last for long. But he's still vegan a year and a half later. I think it's been good for us both because we've found some wonderful vegan restaurants and I eat more vegetables now too.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos there is one seed in Spanish Ajonjolí, you toast it slow and mix it with sweet banana and a litle water. It taste delicius. One of muy favorite drinks
Alejandro, as it happens, we're visiting Spain very soon and we'll certainly try this drink. (If we can pronounce it!) :-)
@@SimpleEnglishVideos I found the Name of this Seed. the name is Sesame Seeds. you can toast them very carefully of not to changue the flavor and mix it with Sweet banana and a Little water. Taste Delisious and it is very nutritive. I really Recomend it. even some children I know love this.
JAY! :D Vegan greetings from Germany *___*
So grateful for you and your decision to live as a vegan! *___*
Hello Stefanie. Vicki here. Im going to let Jay respond to this one.
Sorry Vicki for talking off-topic 🙈
But my vegan heart made pow pow pow hearing that Jay doesn't eat anything "what had a face or a mother" 😊😂
I'm so happy that I came across your channel! You both won my heart and your videos are super interesting 😮
And we're thrilled to have you with us.
This is a really helpful video! I am going to share it with my university students. Great clarification on requests and offers. Hope the lentil soup was tasty!
So glad it was useful Single Step English. Sorry it's taken so long to reply and hope your students liked it. :-)
you guys are a lovely warm couple
Thank you for the kind words Flower Power.
Sending lots of vegan love all the way from Brasilia 🌱💚
Partout Francais.... this is Jay writing back to you. As you might have learned, we moved to Spain in August of 2022. We settled in Almeria on the Southeast coast of Spain. But I discovered quickly that there isn't much variety available for vegans here. So I have had to include some fish in my diet to stave of hunger. Be well.
Another great Video...It's also useful for beginners
So glad you like it Ashish. Yes, I think the first rule is perfect for beginners.
It's amazing class
Thank you so much Allysson!

Thanks Youssef. And by the way, a friend of ours runs an Egyptian restaurant, which is a great place to go for vegetarian and vegan meals. And great food too, of course.
Your friend must be lucky to have your friendship , I live in ismailia City by the Suez Canal , finally most of your videos reflects a shinny spirit of yours , bye see you .
Nice apron👍
Ha! Thanks Myun Choi. I think we bought it at Ikea. Maybe some other viewers have one like it.
I'm eager to try your recipe of lentil soup!

It's really good.
Very funny explanation. Great
So glad you liked it Hummed. Thanks for writing.
second, greetings from Poland
Hello Barbara! Greetings from Philly!
your are best
That's so nice of you to say, Самара Толоковна. Thanks for watching our video.
It was very funny when they had the soup for the second time 😂😂😂
We had fun shooting that scene.
In Poland we always cook stock at home
Yes, it's cheating to buy a packet, but it does save time.
May I know how do you cook it?
In another video, can you please talk about the difference between "Whole and all" thank you in advance.. ❤️
Hi Rasmin. You have reminded me that we need some more videos on countable and uncountable nouns. Thank you.
How did you 2 meet? I'm very curious, you are great together
Long story Mr. sir. Perhaps we can make a video about it one day.
Simple English Videos yes, I'd actually love that!
Hi Vicki and Jay, how are lentils countable? They are small in size like rice! If we can count lentils then we can count rice too...Please help, I'm confused. Can you explain? Thank you 😃.
Oh great question Sridevi! Ha! You're quite correct that rice is uncountable but lentils are countable. I can't explain it except to say English isn't always logical! :-)
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Thank you so much both of you 😃.
5:52 hahahahaha
:-)
03:49 She Says We need Spoon then He Says They Are not here so i don't Understand spoon is single But "they" is not use for the simple Somethings i don't understand or Am I Wrong ?
Great question Yigit. I asked for one spoon and he said 'There aren't any in the drawer', meaning there are none. If there are none, it also means there isn't one.
In English we have countable and uncountable nouns, so if I'd said I need some rice, he would have said there isn't any. (Rice is uncountable) But with countable nouns 'There aren't any' is a natural response.
GOYA LENTIL !
Do you know Goya lentils Kevin? We use a lot of them on our house.
The soup needs some garlic and cumin . At the end you can put some fried vermicelli . Unfortunately there aren't any tomatoes .
Well said Iman. And, your suggestions sound delicious. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much guys , Jay went vegan I think that would be hard to him.
How did your lentil soup come out?
That lentil soup was a bit spicy but we ate it all. I think Jay's found going vegan has been easier than he thought. He's discovered lots of new dishes that he likes.
Why am I vegan?
1. Healthy reasons
2. I want to protect the environment and also animals.
They aren't objects for us to use them and thrown them away when they're useless.
Jay, you have to try Gazpacho.( A spanish delectable dish) - A tomato soup.
Hi RUclipsrPolyglot. This is Jay writing back. I have tried Gazpacho, and I'm pleased to say, I've had it in Spain as well. I love it. We just had a delightful vegan lunch with a young woman (our first full time dog walker) her husband and their young child. They are all vegans. I made "Beyond Beef" burgers which are extraordinarily like real barbecued hamburgers but they are made from beets. She brought macaroni and cheese but the cheese was actually from made vegetables and yeast. It was lovely.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Many soja products are alternative for vegans.
There is vegan cheese. There is an alternative to meat. I buy soja products: Vegan Yogurts, cheese and meat.
I mean fake meat, not real meat. The product tastes like meat, but it's not real meat.
We can get the B12 vitamin thanks to soja products. I also found that B12 vitamin in some energy drinks.
Some people argued about this topic. Is that B12 vitamin artificial or natural?
Think about for a second. How do herbivores animals get their vitamins and proteins?
They eat grass, plants and fruit and they still survive. We don't need meat, nor fish to survive. We can make it without none of them.
Jay, I am vegan too.
17 pounds, that means 7 kgs.
Excellent. Well done!
Ciao
Ciao Josephine! :-)
Are there "countible and uncontible words" in german?
Hi Akos. I don't know German very well, but to my knowledge, no. Maybe some German speakers can confirm?
Simple English Videos But there r some different between klein, kein, and nichts... KLein: a little.... but if we wanna use thus adjective, we have to know da article of da pronun what we want to say! But! Warning! If we use der die or das, we dont put r or s as a last letter of the word! But we must 2 take a letter E. I dont know why! For example: Der schwarzE Wagen, die schwarze Katze and das schwarze Auto... Wagen and Auto mean CAR in english. Both words have only 1 meaning... Now let seethese word with INdefinite articles please! Der and Das go to EIN. BUT DIE IS EINE! So: Ein schwarzeR Wagen, einE schwarzE Katze, ein schwarzeS Auto... it is easy.
Kein is nothing in english. But itvis also kein oder keine! Nichts means nothing also, but it is dative case. So: Ich tu nichts. It means I dont do anything.
I mean... lentil soup is high in protein! 😂😂
Exactly, Statia. He's gotta get his protein. :-)
I would like that she be my mom
Well that's a lovely compliment. Thank you Arturo!
i cant be the only one who understood “pee soup“
Hi there
Not really I understand any and some .
(Do you have any eggs in fridge ?
yes, have some eggs in there )
i don't know, that's good
thank you
Yes, that works Szerbak. You could say 'Do we have any eggs in the fridge?' or 'Do we have some eggs in the fridge?' Both work.
I didnt understandt about any please helpe me
Try watching the video again or go online and ask for grammar an explanation and exercises. You can do it Neda!
There are some apples in the basket but didn't eat any. It would be okay if you cut me some pieces. I'm not hungry though.
Hi Anil. Great examples. Here's how I would probably say the second sentence: Would you mind cutting me some pieces?
But if Some and Any have different meanings, why do we even need those 3 rules? If you understand the meanings of these words, it should be enough to use them correctly. A person, who needs to think about if a sentence is positive, negative or a question to use Some and Any correctly, definitely doesn't actually understand their meanings.
Erm, I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand you, mjn80. Some and any both mean 'a number of' or 'an amount of'. Semantics isn't the driving issue, is it? Isn't it primarily syntax?
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Why do you think that semantics isn't the driving issue? The difference between Some and Any is all about semantics for me. They mean not just 'a number of' or 'an amount of'. There is a big difference in the meaning.
3:55
Lady:Look in the dishwasher.
Man:Sure.
Man Didn't noticed the spoon is dirty.
Lady also didn't.
Man: This one?
Lady: Yes. and the spoon will do.
Lady just used a dirt spoon
Me: Are you sure that was dishwasher?
Ha! No, I didn't notice the spoon was dirty Na Cl. I was too busy trying to remember my lines. :-)
Simple English Videos any spoon will do, even dirty one ))) but we really don‘t care )))
07:03 "Any" also has a negative meaning?! "Any" can mean none?! Sorry, but what you are saying is plain wrong. Yes, "any" can be used in negative sentences, but that doesn't mean "any" itself has a negative meaning. You should not confuse the meaning of a word and the meaning of a whole sentence.
I'm not sure what you mean. 'Any' doesn't always negative connotations but it's frequently used in negative contexts. Let me give some examples: 'I can't find anyone to help.' 'I can't find any of the things I was looking for.' 'Life's not getting any easier.'
And 'any' is connected to all or nothing, as opposed to 'some' which would mean 'part of' or a limited number.. Compare:
'If you have a question, anyone in the office can help' (all of them can help)
'If you have a question. there isn't anyone who can help' (none of them can help)
'If you have a question, some of them can help. (a limited number of them)
I don't think that to be a vegan is good for animals, because vegans eat their food :))))) (it's a jock), Vikky, are you vegan too?
Hi Umm Halil. No I'm not, though I've been discovering a lot of nice vegan recipes so I'm headed that way.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos That's great, wish you good health !!
Please don't say that going vegan is good for the environment and animals. You make the impression of being very sensible and educated people and I appreciate your work a lot, but you should be more careful and avoid saying such stupid things. I'm sorry for the adjective "stupid", but it fits in very well here.
Евгений Андреев, this is Jay writing back to you. I can't speak for everyone else, but I can tell you that the vegan diet has significantly lowered my cholesterol and improved my overall health according to my doctors, and that is the primary reason I've chosen that path.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Hello Jay. I'm glad your doctor's recommendations helped you. But it's your own personal situation. If you feel better and if you’re healthier, that can only mean that you’ll be able to produce more videos, which is awesome. But the issue with nutrition (and cholesterol) is much more complicated than you might imagine. I’d advise you to read this article first: chriskresser.com/does-your-diet-affect-your-cholesterol-level/. Vegan diet can really help in particular circumstances, but those are extremely specific cases, and such diet should be seen as just a very strict remedy for a particular concern (I highlight the word “particular”). There are lots of people who switch to “paleo” diet (which is in direct contradiction to vegan) and lose weight and their health gets significantly improved. Claiming that vegan diet is good for the environment and animals is a serious delusion (and if you're saying that you "can't speak for everyone else", you're contradicting yourself). Such diet can even be extremely dangerous, especially for anybody under the age of 20. Throughout history, there hasn’t been a nation or tribe on Earth that has been following a vegan diet for centuries. All native tribes and peoples that have been enjoying good health and living long lives have always been following a varied diet with a high ratio of animal products. I beg you not to resort to phrases like “vegan diet is good for the environment” because it is simply not true and can mislead other people who trust you. By saying such things you are likely to do more harm than good. I sincerely recommend you read the book “Nutrition and physical degeneration” by W.A.Price, which can give you a lot of food for thought. If you’d like, I can send it to you by email. Kind regards.
