Todays lesson was funny and much of the American Jokes introduced this time were closely contact with the pronunciation skills. So possibly I guess the man came to the dentist at “two thirty p.m.” (: Endless Thank You Vanessa and Dan. !

As an EFL teacher I find your videos really professional and totally agree with your approach to teaching and learning a foreign language. Although I consider myself as an "effective user" of English I watch your videos on a regular basis. They are very motivational, natural, realistic and entertaining. During my years of teaching and learning English I have always been looking for the "curiosties" of this beautiful language, such as onomatopoeic sounds of animals and the like; stuff that are hard to look up in dictionaries. One of the undiscovered territories of English for me is the so-called "motherese" words and I could really appreciate you making a video about those special "baby-words" which mothers and fathers use to talk to their babies. Thank you! And keep up with this amazing channel.
Tooth hurt-y means its tooth hurts so he went to the dentist. When we pronounce it in american accent, it sounds like the time: two- thirty 😂😂

Have you ever thought about why nicknames are recalled easier than "official" names? On this lesson you will answer this question. The trick is associate an emotion to the word you are learning. Our memory performs better when we associate an emotion to the content we are learning. Thanks Vanessa for putting this "theory" in practice. Please say hi to your husband and to the babies! Thanks for preparing this kind of material. My English is improving everyday thanks to teachers like you!
I love the silly jokes. Thank you, Vanessa! You're an amazing teacher!

Thanks a lot for sharing this video with us "your virtual students", sometimes when we decide to study english we never think of ways to tell or even to understand jokes that are common in America, even learning idioms is difficult (but that's another topic), thanks for these huge posibilities of content coming from real spoken english and its daily customs
Hi, Vanessa.👋 I'm Japanese learning English. Your video made me so happy🤣 and I found a similarity with joke between English and Japanese!! In Japan, two types of joke are famous. One is called nazo-kake. To use it, two words(or noun clause) are connected with one phrase(predicate), usually thought of as a formal joke(many comedians do it) The other is called da-jare. You use a phrase or word twice in one sentence in different expression. Latter is simple and known as a dad joke. A person who uses it usually makes others a bitter smile😅 Well, I want to give you examples of jokes, but it's hard for me😫forgive my poor English‼️

In my mother tongue, Persian, there's a literary array called Ihaam, using a word with at least two meanings. It's used in all types and generes of literary not just funnies. I like it in romance and love poems and sentences.
Thank Vanessa for your clip. A couple of years ago I tried to watch DVDs or KZreads about jokes, but I could only saw other people laughing without any understanding. However, with your help, I can understand all of them with a little funny and one big laugh. Hope someday I can laugh at some jokes along with native people.
I love those jocks guys, thank you for posting them.
I couldn't possibly agree more with you. Actually l had fun with this kinda lesson, hence probably helped me. Now l could crack jokes in English even though English isn't my home language. I was so overhelmed assuming l couldn't understand jokes in English. I could understand you and found it useful to have this kinda lesson. You rock😊

Hi Vanessa, these jokes are simply amazing! I think the explanation for the last one is that the man went to the dentist's at 2:30 and because he had toothache, the point here is the pronunciation of two thirty/ tooth hurty. It's always a pleasure to learn something new with you. Bye!
Thanks Vanessa
Venessa, I absolutely loved this video. And your husband did a wonderful job here!
I loved this lesson! My answer for the test is that when we pronounce tooth hurt-y, it gives : two thirty !
I'm adding each of these jokes to my repertoire! Thanks, Vanessa! 😂

Thanks! Interesting!
Wow, such silly jokes you inspired me and motivate me to learn english. Keep making videos
Great video! Exactly what we need - just English conversation on any topic in a very pleasant, natural (and very understandable) performance! You just listen and remember. (God bless youtube for the auto-translation feature). Over the course of a year, listening to your lessons with Dan, I began to understand English quite well. You just talk about something or just talk - we just listen and remember. Thank you very much! God bless you :) We are waiting for new American conversations and American stories in your pleasant (and understandable) performance.
The way you explaining is outstanding ❤

I really enjoy this show! I always found jokes and puns so hard but after your explanation, I think I can totally understand at least the 15 jokes you taught and laugh out loud. The feeling is sooooo great! This lesson is so helpful and Thank you, Vanessa! Currently, I am also listening to CNN 10 Student News every day, it's a 10 minutes program, and I can understand almost 90% of the content. But when the host tells a joke or pun at the end of the program, I always get lost. I guess to fully understand them requires more than just vocab and grammar, but also a deep knowledge of American culture. I'm still working on it!

Dear Vanessa, these kinds of jokes are very common in Norway too. I enjoy them a lot, but many of my friends think they are too silly. But that does not bother me. By the way, I want to tell you one joke, we have here: It's not the fart that kills, but it is the smell. And to explain this joke, I have to explain the word "fart". This means speed, velocity. And the word "smell" means bang or crash. So the whole sentence explains how dangerous it is to drive too fast, as it may result in a collision. (But of course, the english sentence itself means something else😂
Vanessa I’m thankful to this video
