Rebecca I really appreciate your teaching in English Grammar I'm from South Sudan and I like the way you teach. God bless you and give you more knowledge of teaching all over around the world. Thanks.

A very high quality explanation! There's so much total rubbish on RU-vid by people who have little idea of what they are talking about! This is not suitable for beginners but best for A1 to B2 students who want to clean up mistakes or misunderstandings. It's excellent for teachers just starting out.

Your lessons are well organized. Your style of teaching is simple yet effective.

Mrs. Rebecca is a genius English teacher who I ever met and knew in my life. Her program is simply a perfect program to learn the English step by step. Her way to teach English is simply convenient, suited to everybody very well. I appreciate and like Mrs. Rebecca very much. She is my best English teacher ever. I am thanking Mrs. Rebecca very much.

You're such a wonderful and best teacher I've ever seen, very well explained and easy to understand.

If only my teachers were like them, they do so wonderfully and so understandably, I have the problem that I can't keep up with the class because unfortunately it's a level too high and the teacher doesn't care whether you come with them or not. So I learn from these videos for myself every day. Thank you very much for these teaching units. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🌺☀️

Hello, you're the best teacher that I have known in my life!!! Thank you very much. But I have a question (sorry, it's not about the topic). Well my question is: Yesterday I saw some videos in the EngVid page (beginner level) and I want to know if all those videos in the page are in order? Thank :)

You are the best teacher I have ever heard. This was my first lesson It's glad to found your RU-vid .

After watching a lot of videos and reading passages finally I got the whole concept within 41 minutes and that is enough for me . Thank you, mom.

Thank you so much, i really appreciate this lesson...

I appreciate your easy explaining skill 👍

Great lesson. Well, I finish this lesson with a big insight into stative verbs and I'll search more about it because I didn't know it. Since I'm Brazilian, I guess ('cause I don't know if my idea is correct) that we haven't in Portuguese this structure, for the reason that, we have 2 ways to express a supplication/other verbs that are considered "Stative Verbs" in English. For an example, it involves using both the Progressive Tense ("gerúndio" in Portuguese) and the Simple Present Tense ("indicativo") "to claim a necessary", in a literal translation is: "I'm needing help" or "I need help" (Translate: "Estou precisando de ajuda" ou "Preciso de ajuda") Right, but why I'm talking about it? Sure, if we stop to analyze these two ways (Brazilian/Portuguese and American/USA) to express a life mindset, we recognize that it is so language philosophical/new form to think about actions/situations, taking into account the English context: "When I need something" like help, I do not "need" in a progressive time, that is, this situation isn't structured to express to a native speaker/listener a meaning that "The person whose the subject is asking the help and He/She helps the solution be presented to the finalizing the subject problem, in whatever time, this occasion will finalize", as occurs in Portuguese; so concluding semantically to us (Brazilians and others) that is a passenger situation. So different of English perspective about it, that consists to analyze just the "need" in general, who doesn't care about the "future resolution" and actions that will finish this verb. Any linguist/grammarian there to validate if I'm wrong in this logic? Thanks for your reading and attention!

Rebecca thank you! You are the best teacher, that I saw ever
