📚 I really recommend this edition of Macbeth for you to use when studying: amzn.to/3UadwnE
It prints on an A4 page with extra wide margins, so there is loads of space for you to make your annotations. Plus, the glossary is embedded into the text so it is really easy to see the translations of the more challenging words. The link is also an affiliate link, so you'll be helping to support my channel - thank you! 👏

Stream English is all about pushing your GCSE English Language and Literature skills to a grade 9. One of the best ways to do that is for me to see your work as I use my experience as a teacher and an examiner to give you specific advice. You can submit essay questions you’ve written on the Stream English website; I will then create a video where I mark your work and talk you through how you can improve. Submit your work here: streamenglish.co.uk/submit

This video is incredible, thank you so much for it! I struggle a lot to understand Shakespeare's language - to the point it was making me panic about my exams. The chunking strategy is amazingly effective, and I feel like I can finally understand extracts I wasn't able to before. Again, thank you, have a good day today

Thank you so much. Your strategies are incredible. I was so intimidated by the language. But now thanks to you it seems doable.

Thank you so much for this! I've picked up tons of tips and the chunking method to understand context as well as the archaic language list and contractions were incredibly helpful. And thank you for adding in a couple of things about R+J too, those were really handy to pick up on. Thank you again for your help, I'm feeling much more confident with Shakespeare now :)
