Thank you so much for this amazing video :) it helped me a lot to understand the differences between them. 1. Say - My brother asked me to say hi to you for him. - Didn't you say something just before? - They said "We really enjoyed the video". - I have said no to the law since it was passed. 2. Tell - You didn't tell me the story! - Didn't she tell you what happened? - I told you to stop! - She was told that there would be a pay raise across the board. 3. Speak - I can speak a bit of Vietnamese. - May I speak to you for a moment? - Can we speak of another topic? - My grandmother only speaks Korean. 4. Talk - They talked about their wild times in high school. - Can I talk to you for a minute? - She asked me if she could talk about that with me. - Don't worry. He said he's going to talk about it with his wife.
This is the best way learning english💐❤thanks👍💕

Hi Emma, I was always afraid to speak English in front of the others, although I read daily a lot in English. But your videos motivated me, so, now I speak more easily when I held a lecture, and I even told my best friend to watch your videos, too. She said to me she will give a try. We talked several times about how can we improve our English conversations.

Thank you Emma for this helpful videos! It really helps me not only to remember but also understand stuff I've learnt back when I was studying English at an institute I just thought of a question I'd to ask to you Emma: the verbs REMEMBER and REMIND, they are different, right? In my native language (Spanish) both of these verbs are traslated as "RECORDAR", so when put that way, it appears there's no difference
Hey there, dear Emma! Fancy meeting you today!🥰🥰🥰 Surely, as an Advanced English learner, I can understand the main difference between these four confusing words, they're really similar, I know it! Lots of learners are inclined to mix them up, it's true.🤔🤔🤔 Thanks so much, my Emma for your clearest clarifications, I love the way you teach us English! Keep up doing your fantastic hard work! 👍👍👍
