Question comes from Winston.

Hi, Winston, Winston says.

I don't understand English.

I want to learn, but I don't know how to start.

I'm a newbie, right?

Lots of questions like this.

So, really, there are a lot of different ways that you can start studying a language.

Of course, we have lots of videos on our YouTube channel on.

We have a whole Web site to try to help people who are studying English.

You can check us out in English.

Class one no one dot com.

You confined like APs.

You confined worksheets, podcasts toe listen to.

So that can be a nice week to start.

We have some videos for beginners also, so if you're just starting, you can check some of the beginner level videos we have on the channel, for example, English in three minutes.

That's a good set of videos you can watch to learn some basic phrases.

I think so.

That might be a nice place for you to start.

But let's look at some other ideas for beginners.

Specifically one, join an English class in your city to get an English textbook and study at home.

Three make of language exchange with an English speaker for study vocabulary with APS.

Try out those those air A few ideas.

Of course.

You can always use our videos on the channel as well.

So I hope that helps a little bit.

Where do we use wanna and gonna and how?

Ah, this question is about the casual contracted forms have want to and going to so want to becomes Wanna going to becomes gonna in casual speech We use them in exactly the same way we would use.

I want to I'm going to He wants to.

She wants to.

He's going to She's going to We use them in exactly the same way.

Which means we used them in casual situations like I want to take a day off or I'm gonna go to the beach this weekend Or do you wanna see a movie tonight?

We use them in exactly the same way we use want to and going Thio but we use them in speech Typically, we don't right thes unless we're writing very casual messages, like text messages to our friends or something.

Next one, I got the next question a couple times, like maybe three or four times.

Okay, The question was about the adjective comparison video that we did a while ago.

So I introduced the word fun as an irregular adjective in terms of the comparative form.

So fun is a word on adjective used for an activity or something that's enjoyable, something we like to do.

But it is different from the adjective.

Funny fun is an adjective and a noun.

Actually, funny is just an adjective.

Fund refers to an enjoyable activity.

Funny, however, refers to something that causes us to laugh.

It makes us laugh because something is curious.

Something is humor's.

So, for example, we can say going to an amusement park is fun.

It's not funny.

It's not humorous, but it's fun.

Let's kind of break this down a little bit.

Let's think about it like fun.

Uh, in the adjective form here, fun is an enjoyable activity, something we enjoy Doing funny, however, causes laughter because of humor.

Something funny, eyes humorous.

It is a witty or there's interesting word play or whatever.

So fun is kind of think of fun is like doing in activity.

Going to the movie theater is fun going to an amusement park.

It's fun watching these videos.

Maybe is fun.

I know making these videos.

It's fun, but funny.

We use funny for, for example, a person or a movie or something that causes us to laugh because of humor.

So things that are fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, not fun.

Funny, funny, not funny, Not funny.

Funny, not funny fun.

So going to watch a funny movie is fun.

I think about that because these two words are different.

Fun is an adjective.

Funny is an adjective fun theme.

Comparative form is more fun or less fun.

The comparative form of Funny is funny year or not as funny.

So that's why I used to different examples in that video.

Thanks for that question.

Next question.

Next question comes from Carmel.

Carmel says.

Do you have any ideas on how to improve speaking skills in English?

Yeah, well, to improve your speaking, you have to practice speaking.

Here are a couple of ideas that you can use to maybe help you improve your speaking these air ideas for just ways to practice.

So chances to practice everyone.

Get a partner you can practice speaking English with.

This can be in your city or in your community, so find a partner to practice speaking English with This can be a language exchange partner.

For example, do if you can't find anyone in your town or in your city to practice speaking English with, you can try to find a partner on line three.

Try recording yourself speaking.

You can use your phone to do this if you like.

Just record your voice saying something and then listen to it again.

You might not realize it, but it's actually really helpful to hear your own voice like both side of your body.

Actually, we have something on the Web site you can check at English Class one no one dot com.

There's a voice recorder function so you can record your voice and then compare your voice to the sound of a native speakers voice and try to practice until your voice matches the sound of their voice.

So that could be another idea.

Number four.

Try repeating the things the characters in English TV and English movies say.

So if you're watching TV, if you're watching a video online, if you're listening to music something in English, try to repeat the thing you hear.

So not on Lee listening, listening, listening, but tried to practice saying the things the characters or the artists are saying, too.

Number five.

Kind of a strange suggestion, maybe, but try talking to yourself in English.

Actually, I do this a lot.

I'm studying Japanese and I talk to myself in Japanese from time to time.

So that helps me a little bit, but helps me get comfortable just saying words saying phrases.

So maybe that's helpful for you.

Those are five ideas for what you can do to improve your speaking Next question.

Next question comes from Mom.

Say no one long Say not one sign.

I'm very sorry if I've never been to Japan.

I've never been to Japan before.

I've never eaten horse.

I've never eaten horse before.

My question is, if you put before at the end of those sentences, doesn't mean you're in Japan right now or you're eating horse right now.

No, not necessarily.

Think of before at the end of the sentence as before now, I've never eaten horse before Now.

In other words, you could use this beef just before you eat horse or just before you go to Japan, if you like, as an emphasis phrase.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that you are in Japan now or that you're eating horse now.

You could use it in that way, sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean it.

If you'd like to emphasize it like if you're about to eat horse, for example, I've never eaten horse before.

You could show your interest, or perhaps to show maybe some anxiety or nervous feelings about what you're about to do.

But, no, it does not necessarily mean you are in that place.

Like, for example, you could just be having a conversation.

Have you eaten horse before?

No, I've never eaten horse before.

It could just be a conversation about it, but really before just means before now.

Next question.

Next question comes from Juan Garcia.

Hi, lawn!

Go asks.

I would like to know how to use down, up, off, in, on and out after a bourbon.

Why, it's necessary.

Oh, dear blonde, This is a very big question.

Your question is about phrase a ll verbs.

These are all called Fraser Verbs.

Verb plus adverb or proposition.

There an enormous amount of raisel verbs.

I cannot possibly talk about all of them in one video.

Brazel verbs are necessary because they are part of speech.

They are simply a type of herb.

They're a type of expression s So you need to know them because they will help you to communicate effectively.

So if you want to know more about specific phrase all verbs, I would suggest checking a dictionary.

Next question.

Next question comes from Hwang Jang Shik.

Hwang Jang.

Sorry, which one is correct?

I work out for 1 to 2 hours a day.

I work out for one or two hours a day.

I drink coffee 2 to 3 times a day.

I drink coffee two or three times a day.

Ah, well, that these air correct.

Actually, in this case, they're very, very small.

Differences between these 1 to 2 hours a day means between one and two hours.

If you say I work out for one or two hours a day, it means it's determined, like, uh, one hour only for work out for two hours on Lee for a workout.

So the difference here is Are you determining?

Are you deciding one hour or two cups of coffee or three cups of coffee?

Or is it between those two amounts?

So using 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 means between those two amounts using four shows, It's either a or B, but not between those two.

This is the difference between two and four.

Next question.

Next question comes from Bowie Dent Day, Bowie Valley.

Then day found into asks.

When can I use ever in a present perfect sentence, like I have ever, ever means at any time or at all times you can use ever when you're asking a question like Have you ever blah blah, blah?

Have you ever been to France?

Have you ever eaten Roman?

Have you ever taken a trip to the mountains, for example, We can use ever when making questions.

That's one.

But because ever means that all time we're at any times we've may not use it to answer a question like that.

Have you ever blocked love law?

We usually say yes or no in that.

In response, to that, we can say I have never, ever taken a trip to France or I have never, ever I forgot my key use.

For example, I have never, ever blah, blah, blah.

But in that case, it still means never an expression like never, ever just emphasizes the word never so to use ever.

We need to pair ever with a verb in a sentence, So we can't say I have ever just I have plus a verb we cannot say I have ever.

That's incorrect.

I have at some at any time or at all times it's it's redundant, it's it's not necessary.

We can, however, use ever in a negative expression like I haven't ever been to France or she hasn't ever eaten cheese, for example.

So we have two pair ever with a negative to make a response we use ever for present perfect, tense questions and paired with a negative have or has to make a response to make a negative response.

So please keep those two in my next question.

Next question comes from Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, where do we use wanna and gonna and how.

Ah, this question is about the casual contracted forms of want to and going to so want to becomes Wanna going to becomes gonna in casual speech We use them in exactly the same way we would use.

I want to I'm going to He wants to.

She wants to.

He's going to She's going to We use them in exactly the same way.

Which means we used them in casual situations like I wanted to take a day off or I'm gonna go to the beach this weekend.

Or do you wanna see a movie tonight?

We use them in exactly the same way we use want to and going Thio but we use them in speech.

Typically, we don't right these unless we're writing very casual messages like text messages to our friends or something.

First question a lot of you who asked about what to do to get a voice that sounds like mine.

When I'm making these videos, I'm specifically trying to speak clearly.

So I'm clearly separating my words.

The way that I talked with my friends in the way that I talk regularly is a bit different in the way that I talked on this channel.

But if you want to try to get this kind of pronunciation.

The best advice I have is just to repeat this kind of pronunciation.

It depends on your goal.

If you walk to learn to speak like me or to speak like somebody else that you really admire, you should try to mimic them.

That's what I do on.

That's actually a strategy that I use when I study other languages as well.

So if I hear something interesting that a vocabulary word the different has used, like in Japanese, for example, or they have a really good intonation or just the way they deliver the way they say something, it's really interesting to me or I want Thio.

I want to be able to use that to I put that in my head.
