I've been learning English for more than 25 years and I think you are by far one of the best English teachers!

All languages have their own musicality ..learning the right rythm and intonation of a sentence with a xylophone is the best tip ever!Thanks so much Gideon!🎶

In Russian the same way we are talking something about " You couldn't help me?" or "You don't wanna cup of coffe?" It is very polite form. more polite then to say "Please..." Thank for your videos, Teacher)

I am sure there is a way to sound sarcastic in every language, even though you are using the most polite form of speaking...

Hi ! Brilliant video. A French tourist, I was on holiday in England for the last two weeks, and I really enjoyed your previous one. I learned something ! When I travel abroad, I’m always afraid of being rude because of my speaking. Thanks to you, I used the magic formula « You wouldn’t put some ice in my glass for me, would you ? ». I do think this made me pose as a quite polite person… and I got my water chill enough.

So much of talent and hardwork in one video, it's starts with English, French and Italian and then ends up with clearing up the concepts that one needs especially for the English language. Sir has always been true to us and so focused.

Thank you a lot for being so benevolent to the subscribers' needs. It's always a pleasure to watch your perfect videos. This one is no exception either. Look forward to seeing more of you. I do a great deal of work to improve my English which used to be quite good but is clumsy and rusty at the moment. I have no idea why but you give me a hope that one day quantity will inevitably turn into quality. Yours.

In Hebrew we also have only one form of "you" (actually - two forms, masculine and feminine, but with the same level of politeness or lack of). Much like in English, future tense can be applied for a polite request. On rare occasions third person can be used for extra politeness, that also comes with the equivalent of "Highness".

Your videos make me want to study English all day long! Thanks so much. You rally are a PROFESSOR.

I have been wanting to learn this for years, and no teacher was capable to explain it to me. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for your excellent explanation! greetings from Santiago Chile 🇨🇱

Gideon thanks for the excellent videos! Phrases, rules, tips you don’t find in books and yet native speakers use all the time. Explained clearly with a fine sense of humour. Keep up the good work!

As a teen, I visited my pen pal in Nottingham, I wanted to say something about Metallica. The kids looked at me like I was speaking gibberish. Then I remembered and tried to place the accent on different syllables, me-ta-lli-ca (no - too flat, monochord), mEtallica? hum, nop! metAllica?? Yes, that's it! This slightly embarassing experience taught me something that I never forgot. I actually didn't hear the melody and rarely caught the intonations that you're talking about until I lived in England. Thanks for the video, it is very important and useful to know that indeed!

Great video, thank you. In Italian we also use negative forms to sound more polite. Inflection and intonation patterns are very important, but unfortunately they are seldom taught. Thank you for the brilliant and enjoyable explanation.

Fantastic lesson Following you dear professor

I just love your classes. Thank you

I just discovered your videos, they are lovely to watch! As a polyglot (6 languages), I always say to people: try to find the song in the language, once you can produce the right song you will be making so much more progress, even if you don't have an extended vocabulary... English is my 3rd language, used very much in my 'previous' life, not so much anymore these days. That is why I really like to watch your videos, it will help me not to loose too much of what I learned in the past. Thank you very much!

Thanks you as always! A real competence booster.

In Chinese, to show our respect to someone, we will add a Chinese character 心 "heart" below the character 你 "you" which becomes 您. The pronunciation between them is slightly different. Respectful you is pronounced as nin while the regular one is ni.

I study English for 15 years now and am amazed how many simple but unknown to me features of your language there are! Thank you for showing me your beautiful language from all unexpected angles!

Can't believe I found out about this channel only now! What an amazing resource of useful information. So grateful for your fun, instructional videos. Here are all the various ways I can thank you: Ta, cheers, , Thank you, uber thanks and grazie!

*TL;DR Thanks for the video, it's great. "Manipulation" gets a bad wrap. Keep up the great work.* This is the first video I've seen from you. It's fantastic and filled with great insight. I hope to find someone of your caliber once I reach a similar level of B2+ in Russian. In regards to the "manipulation," I speak as a monolingual individual. 1. The word "manipulation" is neither good nor bad, it's neutral. You could manipulate someone to lose weight/give up addiction just as you could manipulate them to kill themselves. 2. Every individual seeks to attain what is in their best interest. Words are a tool to do just that. 3. Everyone is an actor in their own movie. Everything is based on appearances. Politeness is another way of MANIPULATING how you portray yourself in the world. 4. Let's use an example to drive MANIPULATION home. Your grandmother dies. Your mother is devastated. You want your mother at ease. You use chosen words and body language to comfort her. Is it so terrible that you've manipulated your mother? Is it so bad that you made her favorite cup of tea? Should you be condemned for eternity to fire and brimstone because you MANIPULATED your mother? Maybe we should have let the depression and thigh fat from compulsive eating cling to her like a bad pair of skinny jeans. P.S. Thanks for the video LetThemTalkTV. I thoroughly enjoyed it. P.S. The last time I checked, learning class, sophistication, etiquette, tools to self master, etc. has never been so accessible and digestible. This man is freely giving keys to the puzzle of leveling up. I suppose a housecat who knows he's a lion could become a lion. Meanwhile, an everyday housecat will forever be just that.

Fantastic!!! I could tell the importance of melody by the way people talk, especially in movies and series, but I had never heard a detailed reasonable explanation before. Thank you to the moon and back.

At the end I feel we're learning not only English but also reinforcing some etiquette through your videos. Thank you

Gideon, YOU'RE THE BEST TEACHER! Soo creative and spontaneous! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

In Swedish it's official since the seventies, I guess, to use the informal "du" for you. It equals the French "toi", just to compare with. The Swedes dropped the formal "er" even to address your boss, or a bishop. The only formality still kept is when you address the king and queen. Yes, they are still into that stuff. While in palace you are expected to say "ers majestät".

Great video. I'm a native born English speaker (from down south, London way) and finding it fascinating listening to a breakdown of what I do by habit, including the different ways of sounding polite and the different tonal ending. Negetive questions are used a lot in the UK. Some of it is also to have a longer, gentler introduction to the question, to allow the person time to tune in - rather than just blurting out a question and the person not having time to start listening. When you said about a "feather in the arse" it did make me think of different ways in which people from Britain (different to the UK) say rear, backside, bottom, bum, arse (more common since Father Ted). Unlike in the USA where "ass" seems to be used (not a small horse) and "fanny" which is pretty much the opposite anatomically in the UK! (with women anyway).

Lol creative way to clear the doubts! great explainer bonus video Thank you
