That's sad to hear, but I totally understand. (You have explained it at length.😂) The good thing is that I just recently discovered Englogic, so I still have a lot of videos to work through. Thank you for keeping the channel open. I wish you all the best for the future.🙏❤
Thank you so much Patrik! For your support with my asmr channel as well. Oh yes, you have enough videos to keep you busy until Christmas at the very least (make sure you watch my Christmas ones haha). Thank you for everything! ❤️
I am now 1 hour in now and I feel like writing a comment. It's a crying shame Sam, you know you're a gifted mind, don't you? I was hoping to see your channel get to higher places. I will continue watching your videos provided you don't take them off thou. Thank you friend, it's been a pleasure going on these virtual journeys in your way of thinking
Thank you for this lovely comment: it really means a lot! 🥰❤️ Yes, the channel will stay open so you can watch it whenever you want. Thank you for coming on this journey with me: it's amazing to see that my method does resonate with people. Thank you for all your support and comments over the years ❤️🥰
Englogic was one of the few channels that provided reliable content for detail-oriented people. It was a beacon of hope for those looking to learn what's not being taught elsewhere. While it may not have provided the financial compensation you were hoping for, I disagree that Englogic was a failure. Its main purpose was to enlighten people with true and reliable information on the English language, and it has certainly fulfilled that purpose. As you've mentioned, Englogic was "your baby", but now it's us who are going to be orphans. Thank you, Sam, for all your hard work and efforts to help us achieve a deeper understanding of this language! We wish you all the best in your future endeavours! Take care!
Wow, Dias, I don't even know what to say to this comment: it's simply and wonderful and very rewarding 🥰 thank you for showing me that although I haven't achieved financial success, I have managed to reach my goal in terms of quality of content and standing within the language community: it really means a lot! I will miss being geeky with you all and thanks for your support over the years ❤️🤩
A huge thanks to you for all. I found your videos by searching for a specific thing a while back, and yours was the only channel that spoke about the issue in depth, I also shared your videos with friends. I've subscribed to your other channel and wish you all the luck in the world.
Thank you so much! Helping people find specific in-depth answers to their questions is exactly why I started Englogic in the first place do thank you for telling me I've succeeded! 🤩 I'll see you on my asmr channel, then! ❤️❤️
Today, I came across one of your videos, and I was amazed by it. You explained all the details of the topic so clearly. While watching your latest video, I stumbled upon this one, which made me feel deeply sad. I think you're an excellent teacher, and one of the main reasons you don’t have more subscribers is due to RU-vid's algorithms to my mind. I’m also thinking about uploading videos like yours, but this video has really discouraged me. I think you should give it a second thought.
@@all-right144 Thank you so much for saying that! ❤️ If you really want to start a RU-vid channel, my advice is to do it: despite how mine ended, I'm really happy I gave it a go because I'd been meaning to for years. I only regret not stopping sooner, but you should definitely try, at least to get it out of your system, if nothing else 😉 I also realise that not many youtubers can survive solely on the revenue brought in by ads because it's fairly low. Most teachers use this as a platform to then promote their courses or lessons. I never wanted to do that and that's on me. Funnily enough, though, I've decided to give teaching another go and either this week or the next I'll upload a video where I give you all the details 😉 I've thought about coming back a lot of times but I just can't risk it because I MUST make money, so I wouldn't go back to posting videos like I used to. I'm seriously considering posting new videos but only on a membership basis, so people would have to pay a monthly subscription to access my content. I still need to see how my other channel and my new teaching go, but I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the support and do let me know if you start your own channel!
Oh, Sam... I'm so saddened by your news, and yet I'm not surprised. I can't remember when I subscribed to your channel (some time last year? before that?) but I do remember that what struck me about it was how thorough you were in covering your topics, how clearly you explained things, how original your way of teaching was and how beautiful your English was - and yet, you had so few views! I think my first ever comment on one of your videos was about that. I had seen a couple of videos on other English-teaching-related channels but I never even considered subscribing. I saw one of yours and I subsribed immediately. And I even commented (I very, very, very rarely comment on anything I see on social media), and you were kind enough to reply, and to even cover one of my language questions in one of your videos!! As a former self-employed translator, I can absolutely relate to everything you say about being self-employed, and I do understand your decision to stop doing something that takes up so much of your time, effort and emotions without giving you the income you deserve. I did the same. There were so many things you said in this video that I wanted to comment on, and now I can't remember any! So, I'll thank you for all your hard work, and I'll wish you all the best. In the meantime, I'll be catching up with the videos I've missed over the past few weeks. You will be missed. 😘
Thank you so much for everything you have said and for your support and comments over the years! Especially considering that you never write anything on youtube (neither do I haha). It's been a great journey and the fact that people in the field like you appreciate my channel really means a lot. Teachers, linguists, native speakers and anyone involved in the world of languages were a portion of the public that I specifically wanted to target and to interact with, so thanks for being part of that. My channel will stay open so you can come back to it whenever you want and once again, thanks for being part of this journey 🥰❤️
@@genevieveeguia7626 Thank you so much, Genevieve! It was sad, indeed, but I'll try to pop back every now and then, at least with posts and recommendations 😊
Thank you for your honesty in this video and for the hard work that you put in your channel. I hope one day it all will pay off for you one way or another. Good luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free online, Sam! You're a great teacher, and I love your content and I'm sure many others do too. I hope the videos will stay so you can continue to help everyone with their English journey even in your absence. (Okay just finished the video and they're staying :) ) Fun fact: I just found your channel a few days ago and you're leaving already haha :'D After 2.5 years you still check your channel's progress first thing in the morning? I know it can feel excruciating that's why I don't use social media for that very reason but I wish you could literally care less about the exposure you're getting or not getting with your videos (sounds insensitive I know especially when a dire need for money is involved and your concern is understandable, but I'm saying this for your sake- considering you're starting a new channel). I'm a self-taught illustrator and my drawings were pretty good especially back in the day, 10+years ago, before AI generated art and tracing became a thing, but didn't post my work on popular platforms for similar reasons. I actually tried for a while and it had me obsessing over follower counts and number of likes it quickly became damaging to my mental health so I closed down my account and never returned. So as someone who doesn't use much social media for myself either, I understand what you've been going through. It reminds me of why I stayed away from managing an active page in the first place. But anyways, you'd been out here helping people and still are, so that's amazing! Thank you for your great sacrifice and hard work. It hasn't only been helpful but a pleasure to watch you teach so passionately and effectively. You'll be missed, Sam! :) I could've just ended it there but I have to say this; oh my gahd, you're a drag- no wonder you're so beautiful. When I first stumbled upon your video I thought you were gay but it's even better than that! XD I like how honest, authentic, vulnerable, and transparent you are with your subscribers it's like listening to a very close best friend I've known for years haha. Best of luck with your new ASMR channel! Less taxing, more rewarding for sure. ♥️
First of all, Ray, thank you for taking the time to write your comment, especially considering that you are new to the channel 😊 it's great to know I've made such a good first impression. Yes, I was so desperate to reach monetisation that my days started like that for 2.5 long years! And I didn't even tell you all the other things I had to do: the sleepless nights spent editing, up until 2 weeks ago I'd bring my laptop on the tube on my way to my drag shows so I could work on the train, one year I spent the week before Christmas (I was already back home with my family) re-doing all my thumbnails until 5am every night.. The list goes on and on. And I've always been happy to put in the work because I believe in and love my channel and what it represents, but I do need to make money 😔😭 and yes, it was very frustrating to have to suffer for so long before reaching monetisation. Oh, so you are a creative, too! I am sorry you had such a negative experience with social media 😔 even though I don't use it in my private life, I've realised I don't mind using it for work but I do need to get something out of it haha 😜 But wait: does that mean that you work as an illustrator or that you do it as a hobby? And YES: I AM A DRAG QUEEN! everyone told me I should do englogic in drag and I probably should have, but I don't actually like getting into drag or make-up (I like the final product and the fact that it allows me to sing), so I wouldn't have enjoyed it; plus, given the advanced content of my videos and the type of subscribers I have, I don't think it would have worked and I am sure I would have lost credibility, so I'm happy I never did it in the end. But I'll definitely talk about it more on my asmr channel and at some point I'll also make a video in drag. In the meantime, you can find me on Instagram at ellagantuk if you want to have a look (don't worry, I don't need to make money through that haha). Thank you for what you said about me being vulnerable and transparent as that's what I've always wanted to be (within the limitations of having to teach English through maths 😜) and I'll keep doing that on my other channel (I'm pretty sure I received the notification that you'd subscribed to it but I can't find it anymore, but thanks if that's the case 😉). What can I say? Thank you so much for your support, however brief, and for grasping my essence so quickly and accurately. And if you are ever in London, you have to come to one of my shows! ❤️
Vielen Dank! ❤️ Es freut mich sehr, zu wissen, dass dir Englogic so wichtig und hilfreich gewesen ist 🥰 ich bin auch traurig aber hoffentlich werde ich jetzt mehr Zeit haben, um Deutsch wiederzulernen 🤩
It's so sad to hear that Sam! Watching from Thailand and I caught every word in your video. I can feel you completely. ❤😢 Thank you so much for your time and dedication nurturing this channel. Firstly, I followed this channel because I love listening to your voice, your British accent and also your lessons on pronunciation. I used to teach English in my free time many years ago but with my busy work scheduled, I had stopped. Now, with the rise of online teaching, I've come across some online English teachers teaching incorrect pronunciation . This highlights the importance of good teaching and inspired me to help others avoid similar mistakes. I'm not here to tell my story, though. I just wanted to share that when I listened to you, I saw myself (we're not comfortable in front of camera, scripted not to miss the point, spent ages editing, not monetized as I just started). I whole-heartedly understand your journey and cried with you. 😢 The knowledge you've shared is valuable, but the time you've dedicated is equally important. To me, you are an incredible teacher. I will always come back and learn from this channel and will also recommend to my future students. Lastly, I wish you joy and tons of success with your new channel. Subscribed! ❤ P.S. Last night, I listened to your new ASMR channel to calm and relax before going to bed.😍
@@m.online3888 First of all, I'm really sorry for my late reply but I've been very sick (starting to feel better now, though 😊). Thank you so much for your wonderful message! 💖Being supported and complimented by other teachers is a great achievement 🤩 You are absolutely right: there is a lot of incorrect and/or superficial information out there and it's an absolute shame, and I'm glad my channel can bring some clarity amid all the inaccurate opinions out there 😉 I'm really happy that I gave Englogic a go because I'd been meaning to do it for years and I'm glad I'll never have the regret of not trying 😊 Thanks for understanding where I'm coming from and for following my other channel, too! 🤩 Today I've hit 1000 subscribers, which is one of the two steps towards monetisation, and I'm really happy! Thanks again for taking the time to write to me 🥰
@@EnglogicSam Thank you so much for your response. I'm very glad to hear that you're getting well now. I'm also sorry for my late reply as I had been not so well too.😌 I really appreciate your attention to details to my response. I can see you are such a caring and loving person.🥰 You did such a great job that you hit over 1000 subscribers so quickly on your new channel. Success is coming along your way. Always my support. Take care. Cheers !❤️
@@m.online3888 Sorry to hear you were sick, too 😔 I still am and it's now been almost 2 months 😱 But this time I was late to reply because I was on holiday 😜
@@m.online3888 I'm almost on the mend, thanks, and my holidays were very strange because I was ill, but I still managed to enjoy parts of them. I'm glad you are back to normal 💪
I've never such a great teacher. I just found your channel. After watching a couple of videos I fell in love with English. I really feel sad hearing this news. Best of luck sir
@@miriqbal8764 Thank you so much for saying that, what a beautiful comment! 🤩 Yes, it is a shame that I had to stop but you have plenty of videos to keep you company for a while 😉 And sorry for my very late reply but I was on holiday
I'll always feel blessed for having the opportunity to find this channel and to hear from you all these mathematical techniques. What fascinated me the most is that you are Italian, and English is not your first language, just like us! + You love MATHS 😍 Thanks for all the videos, teacher Sam 💙
I just discovered your amazing channel today! I''ll go through your previous videos in the coming days/weeks. Good luck with your (new) other adventures.
From Italy. Hi Sam. I was sorry to read that "Englogic is coming to an end" but, after seeing your video to the end (I watched it in 3 chunks) I understand the logic behind your decision. I was glad to learn that the channel will still be accessible so that we can continue to comment. Good luck in your future ventures.
Hi Francesco, sorry for my late reply but I was on holiday. Yes, unfortunately, it makes no sense to continue. Someone has mentioned creating a system based on a subscription fee: if I ever decide to come back, it will have to be through something like that so once I've had a good mental break from it all, I'll see if it's a feasible option. Don't worry: you'll be the first one to know 😊
Hi Sam, This is Wendy, one of your students on AT 3/4 years ago. Your videos are helpful and informative. Thanks for your sharing and great contribution to English learning community. Wish you all best with what you are working. Take care!
Thank you so much, Matt! I will Englogic and you all, too. After working on it constantly and relentlessly for three years, it is really strange not to have it permeate my life anymore. Thanks for your support! 🤩
Sir don't stop uploading videos on this channel......I really appreciate your teaching.....you always give reason to use the things in english....i m from India sir.......your videos could be inspiration for other people........many of us have cleared their doubts through your videos
Hi ,Sam.I 've just found you yt channel 3 weeks ago,but so sad hearing you 're qutting.Let me tell you a bit about my English learning experience.When i graduated BA in the university, i realized that my Eng knowledge was not good enough and i wanted to continue it in MA level.(but no luck in non-financial case ,too😓)Now i became an Eng teacher,i have been teaching for 12 ys.As i am working in a small public secondary school with 195 students in a village so far away(near my hometown),north-easthern of Thailand, i found lots of problems in ENG learning and teaching.So i am looking for some information about how to sound Eng naturally .i focus on Eng native speakers yt channels.now i found you.When i watch and learn from you, i feel like i am taking a special Eng teaching training course and importantly, i think your contents recognized me my dream wanting to get MA degree in Eng i had 23 yrs ago.Sam your information is very useful and helpful🙏.maybe one day you would come back, you could focus on people like me, Eng teachers who have never been to Eng native speaker country,no chance to go to the oversea university.Wish you best luck🙏💖💖 From Thailand🙏
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! It's amazing to know my channel is so inspirational to you, thank you for telling me 🥰🤩 It's funny how you are the second person who's told me to teach teachers because a couple of months ago I was actually looking into starting a segment on Englogic specifically on that. And now I know for a fact it would resonate with quite a few of you 🤩 at least for Joe I need a looooooooooong mental and emotional break from Englogic, then we'll see if/what happens. But thank you so much for your praise and appreciation 😍🥰🤩 it really means a lot, especially coming from a teacher. In the meantime you have plenty of videos to keep you company for a good few months at least 😉🤩
I run into your channel by chance a couple of days ago and I was really excited about it. Now you say you are quitting and I wonder if you considered the possibility to launch a kind of crowd funding. It is so a big pitty to loose it...
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I have to say I hadn't thought about it, but it's a good idea to consider in the future. Right now I do need a break because after 3 years of never missing a weekly post (to no avail), I do need to step back from it all, especially because I do not want to be hurt by yet another potential failure, but it is indeed an option that I'll bear in mind, thanks! In the meantime you have plenty of videos to keep you busy for a few months at least 🤩 thanks for your support!
Sad to see you go.. This is the best channel for learning English that I have found on the Internet. It's not about the simpliest rules, basic facts that one can found on dozens of yt channels.. it really is informative, very informative, well-thought and the material and the presentation is always of the high quality. And I totally agree with one of the commentators whom you've mentioned that your channel is unique. That's why I enjoy watching your videos so much. Just a side remark: you are so charismatic and artistic, it'd be great to see you on the big screen one day. Good luck to you 🍀 🤞 in all your new projects and thank you so much for all your hard work!❤❤❤
Everything you have mentioned is exactly what I wanted people to understand and appreciate about my channel so thanks for confirming it's worked! 🤩 As for being on the big screen, funnily enough, I trained in screen acting because it was my dream to be a film and TV actor. I later realised it wasn't for me but since I'm very vain, I do like seeing my face on a screen and RU-vid helps a lot with that 😜 If you want to see more of my face (without any slides getting in the way), I have an ASMR channel called SAM CARUSO ASMR. It has no language value and ASMR is definitely not for everyone, but I tell a lot of personal stories on it so I thought I'd mention it. Thank you so much for your support! 🤩🥰
@@EnglogicSam I can't fall asleep lately without asmr😄, so I'll definitely watch it. I still think you'd make a good actor:), but if it's not your cup of tea, then it's not:).
@@CalmnessLivesHere I've got into the habit of needing ASMR, too. I'm so scared of not falling asleep even when I'm very tired, that I'd rather listen to it just to be on the safe side. Luckily, the few times I tried without worked, but if I can, I do use it, so I know how you feel 😉
@@EnglogicSam yeah, same here. I am really grateful to those people who upload asmr videos, coz I've started sleeping much better. Sometimes I prefer silence, sometimes asmr or the sounds of nature.:)
@@CalmnessLivesHere I only like rambles where people talk at normal speed so my brain can focus on them and not on what it's thinking about. It's really interesting how we all like different kinds of ASMR
Watching your video confirmed what I have already known: Life is a bitch. If it was fair and just, you would make good money for such excellent quality and commitment. I absolutely understand your reasons for quitting Englogic and though your confession was heartbreaking, I think it is a good decision. If you were rich and treated this as a hobby, I am sure you would continue, because it's obvious that this first child of yours is your great love and achievement. When I think about these 6k people who found you by themselves, I can see a little town of committed friends. I know monetary it is nothing, but this number does mean quite a big group of people. Please, try to remember about this. As a mother, I am sure your mum is very proud of you. I am proud of you. And even if you are crying a bit, I feel you are also proud of yourself. You are a teacher and you are a keeper. Sometimes, you are soft and delicate but also, you like some challenge and you know your value. And you've got many, many talents. Between the lines, I can see you also suffered being a gay person in Italy, which taught you to fight for yourself and be stronger. The result: nowadays you, is stunning! You are beautiful, both outside and inside, you are fragile but resilient, stubborn but realistic, I do hope Life will notice your efforts, and notice them soon! And you will achieve your goals: financial and personal stability and happiness. You deserve it so much, Sam. Now, after crying a little bit, I have an important question. I'd like to watch your drag performances and get to know more about this side of you. You mentioned your website but I can't find it. Could you, please, give me the link? I've already subscribed your ASMR channel and told all my friends about it. Can you imagine, I had no idea what ASMR stands for? Now I know and all thanks to you. So, I am going to keep in touch. Greetings from very beautiful, spring Poland. Dorota
Dorota! Thank you so much for your wonderful message and sorry it's taken me a while to reply but I've been inundated with comments and I also need/want a break from Englogic, but here I am now 💪 You are absolutely right: my channel has indeed helped quite a few people and I'm really happy and proud of that, even more so if you think that most of them work on this field. Receiving praise and appreciation from other teachers, linguists and even native speakers really means a lot as they are a big portion of the audience that I wanted to target 🤩 And thanks for your motherly support 😍 Although my mum doesn't understand anything about RU-vid (or computers in general 😜), she is proud and happy that I do something I love which is also useful. She is a teacher as well 😊 Funnily enough, I really want to do some ASMR videos about and in drag (primarily because I hope they will bring more followers and watch time haha 🙊😜) and I've now started telling everyone back home about me so I can finally do it. My mum is taking it well and I'm really proud of her. So in two weeks my drag videos will come out! 👸 The best place you can follow my drag is Instagram at ELLAGANTUK (although I have a feeling you might already have found me if I'm not mistaken). Dorota, what can I say!? I can't thank you enough for watching all my videos, for commenting and being an active member of the Englogic family. Thank you for your kind words and for already supporting my new channel! We will most definitely keep in touch on there and we'll talk soon 🥰😘
I have never watched you or your channel but somehow this video ended up on close top of my feed. RU-vid is really funny… they could’ve suggested more your channel to other English learners and lovers… but no, now I get to see only coz it’s controversial for YT and you are leaving. I wish you the best in your future. I’m sure your channel will be missed for your following and the ones who end up coming back in the future. Thank you for leaving the content open for others. You seem a very sweet and nice person to be around! Would you leave your socials so we can see more from you? (Id love to see drag or anything from you) 🙈
Wow, thank you! I didn't expect to strike a chord with someone who's never watched my channel 😉 Yes, it is indeed a shame, but now that I am receiving tens of comments from my staunch followers and subscribers, at least I know that I've managed to help people the way I've always wanted, which is a great way to end things on 😍 Thank you so much for your support, however brief, and my drag Instagram account is Ellagantuk. My New ASMR channel is SAM CARUSO ASMR 😊
Dear Sam. The masses are way too stupid to recognise your genius. I absolutely agree that you are the best one can find on RU-vid. You are a great communicator, and I hope that one day you can establish a channel that achieves the success you deserve
Jacopo! Thank you for this wonderful comment and for all your support over the years! It's really heartwarming to know I've made such an important impact on the community we've created 😍 Hopefully, my new ASMR channel will pay off and I'm excited to see what happens with that. For now I'm enjoying talking for hours on end because I loooove talking haha 😘
