As you learn English you will want to prepare for certain things you will do. One of those things will be a visit to a restaurant where you will need to be able to order food in English.  In order to order food and to feel comfortable you will want to know as many English words and phrases about restaurants as you can.

In this English lesson I will go over basic restaurant vocabulary, advanced vocabulary, and many English phrases you would use when ordering food in a restaurant.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about restaurants!

Sorry for the bad audio in this episode!

In this English lesson you will be able to ask me a question about the English language and I will do my very best to answer it.

I have been doing these English sessions every week for over a year, and they have been a great opportunity for English learners to ask me, a native English speaker,  questions about phrases, pronunciation, and usage.

The English language can be a bit challenging to learn at times. I promise that I will try to help!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson!

As you learn English you will learn a lot of phrases to express happiness, and other positive emotions. This English lesson will teach you the opposite. In this video I'll go over some phrases that we use when frustrated, aggravated, or annoyed.

I'll also go over how to emphasize each phrase to communicate these feelings more strongly, and I'll teach how to soften the phrases to help you communicate if you aren't feeling these emotions as strongly.

All in all this English lesson was made because I was feeling frustrated, and I thought, why not turn lemons into lemonade and use my frustration to teach you something new!

I hope this little video helped you learn a little bit more English!  Don't forget to share this video, click the thumbs up, and subscribe!

Have a great day!

In this English lesson I will go over my top ten secrets for staying motivated while learning the English language.  I know that learning English can be fun, but at times it can also seem like a lot of work, and you can become unmotivated. Staying motivated while learning the language can be a challenge.

In this video I hope to help you out by giving you some tips on how to stay motivated and excited about learning this fun language.  Some of the tips I will give you are based on rewards, and some are based on just being very disciplined in your approach to learning English.

I've ordered them as a top ten list, starting with number ten, and progressing down to what I think is the most important thing you can do to stay motivated while learning the English language.

Of course, I realize not all of these tips will work for everyone, but I'm sure there are two or three here that will help you out a lot!

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this English lesson!

I know from my last English lesson on idioms and phrases that a lot of you like to see things related to the phrase when I help you learn it. In this English video lesson I'll take you to some very beautiful places around my neck of the woods (that's a phrase you'll learn in this lesson), and while you learn English you can also see some gorgeous sights!

It was a great day at first to go outside and teach some English, but the weather did get quite bad towards the end. I finished anyways, but I did get a little bit wet from the rain out by the lake. Oh well!

I hope this English lesson on phrases and idioms helped you learn just a little bit more English!

Have a great day!
