Grammar
Many of my students, no matter how good their English, confuse personal pronouns.
Pronouns like he, she, it and one, I, you and they, me, you and them, we and us, cause endless confusion for students.
This video aims to put this confusion to rest once and for all.
With visual clues to help you remember, this English language video will help you avoid making the same mistakes with personal pronouns. This aspect of English grammar can be very awkward.

English Rules
If I had a dollar for every time an English student mispronounced the simple past form of regular verbs, I would be a rich and happy man. 
As it is, I'm a poor and happy man. 
I'm happy because I have created a video that will stop students giving walked and lived three syllables instead of two.
This video lesson will show all students how easy it is to always pronounce the ed ending as either /id/, /t/ or /d/.
Watch this video a few times and you will be sounding like a native English speaker before you can say "I have learned the secret!" (with 2 syllables in learned, not 3)
This video was created to answer a question by Maria (YouTube name - rockmusicM), a student in Spain, so all thanks due to Maria.
