    Building your vocabulary is not always easy. Thanks for that sentence! I'm at that point where I feel like I will never move forward and will be stuck at my current level for the rest of my life. 🙈 You give me hope! I've been living in the US for 4 years, and it seems to me that I have checked and learned from all the YouTubers. However, your method of sharing knowledge is the most suitable for me! Thanks again, and please keep up the awesome work!

    Reading books is the most effective way to expand your vocabulary 🎉. I've been using this method for a while and it has helped me enormously 😅. Never forget to listen to the audio books as well to learn correct pronunciation 😊. I normally write down the new words I encounter together with their meanings and search how they're used in a sentence 🎉🎉. If you use these methods, you'll be catapulted to greater heights. ❤

    As a Romance language speaker (more specifically Portuguese), I can't help but notice that some of these words have Latin roots. It's interesting and I noticed this myself when I took the TOEFL exam a while ago. In the vocabulary section, I knew some words for this reason, as they are similar to words in my language with the same meaning. Great lesson, as always. Examples of words in context are a great tool to enhance comprehension.
  • @user-sl7mg5wl7b
    Jus wanted to tell u u r the best teacher in this universe I appreciate ur offer u teach us step by step ur method of teaching is phenomenal
  • @tamar503
    Awesome words. Thank you Wes. Learning a language truly needs a perseverance, it is a non-stop process, but with videos like this things become effortless and fun. I watch and rewatch them at least four times and when i want to use them; they easily come to my head. THANK YOU Wes for your hard work and perseverance.
  • @rozii9876
    The most clear and carefull pronounciation I have heard ever. Sylable by sylable WONDERFOUL
  • @user-qo1ws7tc8k
    The narrative I promote is that this channel is really for those who want to become an English-learning snob! I need perseverance and making concessions to reach an advanced level. I am filled with remorse when I do not study, probably I am a workaholic! I do not have xenophobia and feel relaxed when there is a n influx of tourists in my country. People who are in exile are homesick sometimes
  • I with my whole heart appreciate you for your lovely way of teaching.You usually teach with immense energy and zest that prevents us from zoning out
  • I was surprised, some of the them I knew already without knowing they are a C2 Level, but I also learned some new words in this video so I could widen my horizon, cheers Wes for this amazing video greetings from Germany
  • I really enjoyed watching and listening to this attractive presentation! I know most of them, but the biggest challenge is how to use them in the right context especially, while speaking 🗣️. Teacher Wes, your efforts are highly appreciated and thank you so much!
  • @stellamoline838
    This channel is amazing and the teacher is very narrative and modest.😂because he said that it’s the best. Thank you. You are.
  • @aarthiamesar1349
    By the far the best video I've come across. The context in which the vocabulary words were used was really helpful.
  • @chendaye8815
    Thanks this is just great! As an English learner, I gotta admit sometimes it's hard to make our spoken English flexible in that we only know one certain form, normally it would be the verb form, and it could be really frustrating. Plz make more video of the alike content. ❤
  • @noriko244
    Wow, so many words that I haven't known. One of American Mars Rovers is named "perseverance" and still active . Isn't it cool? I really love this word. If I persevere with building up vocabularies, I'll eventually become a vocabulary snob. Thanks, Wes.
  • @loveraneldia7383
    Thank you Wess , I downloaded the Elsa App but I did not find any explanation on how to use it , and I was about to uninstall it, but now I am clear! Thank you again! I really appreciate it!
  • @enhadassah5336
    Dang he’s good what an amazing ending that really helped thank you !!
  • @user-jx4xm6cs7q
    Min of two ppl I share every time I get your lesson to have them supercharge their Eng vocabulary & accent! They need perseverance to make it happened…
  • @petunia-r7h
    Your videos are crystal clear and very informative and it is really an honor to have such an experienced teacher for us to learn and improve our English. Just a quick question, do you happen to know something like Elsaspeaking for French and German languages? You sound well informed and that is why I dared to ask you.
  • @Hestyjka2
    I absolutely love your classes. Thanks so much for posting!
