    I'm a native English speaker but I'm totally here because I'm shit at small talk. lmao. This guy's voice is so soothing, he's basically the Bob Ross of English. Also, a tip for the uninitiated, politics and religion are never small talk. They are the very definition of very, very prolonged talking that or may not end up in open conflict and/or large quantities of yelling. The more you know.

    English is my first language, and this has so much value that isn't taught in school. Thank you!

    It's been more than 5 years that I first watched a video from teacher James. I'm already nearly fluent in English and I still learn a lot from his videos. Thank you for all teacher. Keep posting your English lessons.

    This guy is the best English teacher I've ever seen. You work for an idea, that's very cool. I haven't seen any teachers who teach so well. So I wish you good luck in your work, I think you'll do your best.

    Hello teacher James! As far as I'm concerned, I like your pocket watch, cause I really like vintage things. Thank you so much for these lessons your sharing for free. 🙏

    I am not very good at starting a conversation. It's normally goes like this "Hey, good day eh?" and the other person normally just goes "Um... yeah sure." and walk away.

  • Truely a gifted teacher. A an English language motivator. You have open up more the YES I CAN to archive my English as a superb communication tool . A tool to open up my world around and about. 👍
  • Great teacher, great way of teaching english, the manner of teaching you use, the jokes you make during lessons are all fit each other 👍🏾👏🏽. Could we somehow touch base to talk about personal class? of course, if you have them

    I'm terrible at small talk. There is nothing as terrifying when I meet another person who is as terrible as me. Learned so much from this video. 1. You have a pocket watch? wow. 2. You smoke?
  • @hdkl6892
