Thank you Emma! As a teacher of English in the Primary School, I' m improving my listening skills and use of the language every day.

Well, hey there, Emma again!✋ How are you now?😊 As I promised earlier, I decided to watch this lesson one more time since I had found that out an extremely useful one for me as an English learner while I was watching it a half a year ago, right? As a result, I wanna go back and watch that again! You know, I actually love all of your videos, it doesn't really matter what they're about whereas others are searching the specific types of lessons such as phrasal verbs videos or idioms lessons! But I always find them all extremely come in handy, in fact! Keep up doing the stunning job, Emma!🥰 You're really brilliant at teaching English!👍👍👍

Hello dear teacher from Buenos Aires Argentina. Thanks for this spectacular lesson. You help us a lot to improve our skills in grammar and also to understand native English speakers giving us tips like the pronunciation of either . We are making so much progress as a result of watching all your videos.😘🌹💝

Yes I noticed all of these formal linking words! And by the way I love these formal linking words than informal ones! Remarkable lesson! Thank you so much for taking your valuable time! Outstanding as always! Best of luck to you!🙏

Dear Emma, your lessons are really amazing and always so inspiring for my lessons with Italian adults as well as younger school students.

This subject informal vs formal linking words is so interesting. You surprise us every now and then by teaching a subject no other teacher has ever touched upon! Thank you so much for being creative and innovative.

There is a teacher named Emma. She teaches English as well as grammar rules. Despite there being many other teachers, she is something special. You can choose either Emma or others, and as a result, you will benefit since you are working really hard, especially on English grammar and connectors. In fact, you are doing an amazing job. Keep going and don't give up✌.

We love mmmEnglish and her casual and professional attitude. Both the style of her Teaching, EMMA is our INSPIRATION.

Hello Emma, a hilarious and optimistic teacher. This video is pretty beneficial. Your idea about comparison casual and professinal context is perfect. However, linking words are sometimes neglected by us. I need to practise them as much as possible. An imaginary situation for an expression "Either either"/ After 2 shopping hours when your husband is knackered and you ask what kind of dress to choose for purchasing, (eiher blue it matches with the colour of your eyes or white)he replies "either either".He is too tired to think proper way.His only wish to do home. Thanks for this brillian video.

Love your lessons as always. Be always with us to lead the way to learn more new things in this adventurous journey. And I love to watch and listen to your beautiful voice.🧡

Perfect creative content as usual, Emma. I always struggle with linking words, you classified and categorised them simply❤

I'm not completely sure with the differences between casual and professional terms whereas your lesson will help me to be more comfortable with that! Thank you so much Emma 👍😊
