What English Teachers Are Saying

I’m an English teacher too and this is incredibly useful for my beginner level students!!! Bravo”

Robbie T.

“I absolutely love your material. I’m a teacher and your material is an inspiration and a wonderful tool I use frequently with my students. I’ve recommended your channel to all of my students and they all love it too…Thank you again for your wonderful material!

AMB

“You do a fantastic job, one of the best I’ve ever seen! I have been sharing your videos to aid some students of mine to ‘unstuck’ their English…Thank you so much for all your effort on making these videos!”

Samuel D.

Seriously, you are a teacher who knows how to put CI input theory into practice. We will be sharing your work with our scholarship students in Guatemala.”

Fred D.

“I use your videos all the time, and you’re a great reference for me on using comprehensible input with my students. :)”

Antônio C., Brazil

“It can be hard to find good-quality, engaging videos to use in class or for students to watch on their own. There are a ton of videos aimed at English learners on YouTube, but most of them are simply explanations about grammar points or lists of words/phrases (‘Learn 10 English idioms about food!’). It’s hard to find videos that give students real exposure to the English language (i.e., comprehensible input) instead of just telling students facts about the language. It’s especially hard for teachers of low-level learners.

[Comprehensible English] has videos on a lot of different topics, all aimed at lower-level English learners. The video quality looks really nice and professional and includes lots of visuals. A lot of my students were interested in his video on Dalgona (Whipped) Coffee. Many of the videos are just a few minutes long, but some are much longer (the whipped coffee video is 48 minutes).”

Allison Lewis

This is exactly what the Internet was missing! Will be sending this and comprehension questions to my students this week. 👍 Thanks for making these and keep up the good work”

Kendra, English teacher

Works very well with my literacy students. Thanks”

Farnaz S.

“Way to use humour in a way beginners can understand!!! I just heard of TPRS earlier this year and have been dying to try it. Couldn’t find anything in English to show my students until now. You’re a blessing!”

Kendra, English teacher

“Excellent addition to your series. This is the most creative approach I have seen for serving this group of ESL students. I will be showing this to my ESL students in Guatemala tomorrow with the closed captions on. This provides wonderful reinforcement. Thank you for making our seminar more useful to the students. You are Mr. CI.

Fred D.

“Fantastic!!!! I’m Brazilian and also an English teacher, your classes are soooo useful. I mean… here in Brazil we do not have your language as a mother tongue, so my students struggle to learn. I’m still trying to teach them by using only English, but it’s kinda challenging. Thanks for your classes. Keep up the good work.

MBM

“I like this presentation format. There’s a lot of cues in even a few pictures, but it all stays pretty comprehensible.
