are many reasons why I stopped making them but after doing my last final live
40

07:53
stream many people got in touch to complain they said Mr Duncan why why
41
473779
4801
07:58
have you stopped doing the live streams so because I had such a big response and
42
478580
6269
08:04
many people were getting very upset about it some were even crying
43
484849
4800
08:09
apparently some people got so upset they were actually crying
44
489649
3600

any proverbs for example we can say a bird in the hand is worth two in the

8940
14:59
bush sometimes a thing that you have can be
107
899850
3210
15:03
very valuable so one thing that you have can be worth more than something else
108
903060
5040
15:08
also a little bit of what you fancy does you good I love that expression
109
908100

15:15
it's a lovely expression it says so sometimes having something that you
110
915290
5670
15:20
desire or something that you fancy can be good for you but of course if you do
111
920960

nice to see you today now Jacque Vaughn is here hi hello to
147
1167250
5220
19:32
you as well hello mr. Duncan can you make a group
148
1172470
4260
19:36
for chatting on Facebook Thank You Abdullah for that a lot of
149
1176730
4770
19:41
people have asked me about Facebook groups now the thing is it is very hard
150
1181500
5610
19:47
to keep the Facebook groups going and the reason why is because you have so
151
1187110
7350
19:54
much choice now on Facebook so many things you can look at it's also a very
152
1194460
5010
19:59
similar situation here on YouTube also on YouTube there is a very similar
153
1199470
4620
20:04
problem because there is so much choice now on YouTube and also on Facebook
154
1204090
7040
20:11
people tend to move around a lot they don't follow one thing
155
1211130
7030
20:18
for very long so this is one of the big problems with the internet nowadays it's
156
1218160
4800
20:22
very hard to get people to stay with you to keep with you so that's one of the
157
1222960
4980
20:27
reasons why I don't or I've never created a chat group on Facebook but I
158
1227940
7110
20:35
do have a Facebook page and the address will be coming up behind me over there
159
1235050
7650
20:42
so the Facebook page address will be coming up and also I will mention it
160
1242700
5640

21:56
English can you guess what is going on here can
171
1316440
8070
22:04
you see what is occurring right here there is a cricket match taking place
172
1324510
8060
22:12
and this actually was filmed yesterday during one of my walks so I was walking
173
1332570
6730
22:19
into town and as I walked past one of the large recreation areas I noticed on
174
1339300
6840
22:26
the field there was a cricket match taking place
175
1346140
4240
22:30
and there it is so many people think that cricket is a very typical English
176
1350380
9480
22:39
thing when we think of England many people might think of cricket is about
177
1359860
8340
22:48
to hit the ball whoa that was a good one oh my goodness did you see how far that
178
1368200
5700
22:53
ball went that was a very good that was a very good strike do you understand the
179
1373900
8610
23:02
game of cricket do you understand it I must be honest I don't really follow
180
1382510
4620
23:07
cricket who I think is going to go again the bowler is about to bowl a ball well
181
1387130
9810
23:16
another good hit so when people think about England quite often they will
182
1396940
8670
23:25
think about playing cricket although having said that not many people do play
183
1405610
5370
23:30
cricket it is more of a spectator sport so many people watch cricket but I
184
1410980
7319
23:38
wouldn't say that many people actually play cricket to be fair mr. Duncan hello

197
1501850
8670
25:10
in British English there are many differences but don't forget there is
198
1510520
4110
25:14
only one English language the language the language of English is only one
199
1514630
5940
25:20
language so many of the variations between British English and American
200
1520570
5520
25:26
English are spelling and sometimes pronunciation but to be honest most of
201
1526090
9569
25:35
the English that is spoken by both people in America or people in Britain
202
1535659
6171
25:41
is relatively the same the difference comes when we talk about accents so just
203
1541830
7570
25:49
as there are many accents in Britain or England there are also many English
204
1549400
5909
25:55
accents in the United States as well on my You Tube channel there is a lesson
205
1555309

28:24
welcome let's have a clip let's have an excerpt
226
1704410
4800
28:29
because today we are talking all about the English language and one of the
227
1709210
5400
28:34
things I would like to take a look at besides proverbs and also phrases so
228
1714610
7290
28:41
things that you know during your studying of English things that you have
229
1721900
4950
28:46
gained from your studying of English so are there any proverbs or phrases that
230
1726850
6270
28:53
you love maybe you can tell me what they are
231
1733120
5560
28:58
but first let's have a look at a clip from one of my English lessons where I
232
1738680
6600
29:05
talk all about the origins of English hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England
233
1745280
10740
29:16
how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy I hope so I have a
234
1756020
8580
29:24
question for you when is an English word not an English word when it's a foreign
235
1764600
5640
29:30
word used both inside and outside the language in today's lesson we are going
236
1770240
5460
29:35
to look at those words that may sound foreign to non English speakers but are
237
1775700
4140
29:39
commonly used by many native speakers every day in some cases without them
238
1779840
5070
29:44
even realizing it confused not for much longer
239
1784910
4080
29:48
I hope as we take a look at what I like to call for English the English language
240
1788990
7800
29:56
has become one of the most spoken in the world it has been described by some as a
241
1796790
5100
30:01
global language over the years it has been viewed as a language of freedom and
242
1801890
5250
30:07
a symbol of oppression its use is still on the increase and remains an ever
243
1807140
6600
30:13
dominating medium on the world stage having said that to describe English as
244
1813740
5610
30:19
a unique language would be a misnomer as we will be finding out today even modern
245
1819350
6720
30:26
spoken English regularly contains words taken straight from other languages some
246
1826070
5070
30:31
examples of which we will take a close look at later but first let's take a
247
1831140
5130
30:36
close look at how it all started with a brief history of the English language
248
1836270
7160
30:48
the English language was formed in four distinctive stages in its original form
249
1848110
5680
30:53
we usually refer to it as Old English this is the earliest form of the
250
1853790
4620
30:58
language which was created between 500 and 1100 AD by the invaders of ancient
251
1858410
6330
31:04
Britain from Southern Denmark and Jutland who
252
1864740
3660
31:08
were known as the angles the angles along with the Saxons and Jutes spoke a
253
1868400
5580
31:13
language which in modern times became known as Old English the word English
254
1873980
6180
31:20
comes from angles the land of angles which is where we get England you could
255
1880160
6330
31:26
also see this influence in the French word illunga latere there were four
256
1886490
5010
31:31
distinctive dialects of Old English Northumbrian Mercian West Saxon and
257
1891500
5930
31:37
Kentish all of which were related to the different regions of early England which
258
1897430
5890
31:43
still exists today as Northumbria Mercia Wessex and Kent
259
1903320
7670
31:52
the next big change came with the Norman Conquest led by William the Conqueror
260
1912280
5640
31:57
who invaded England in 1066 ad with this invasion came a new language
261
1917920
6000
32:03
this time the integration the French language occurred which formed into what
262
1923920
4860
32:08
we now call middle English through the changes caused by the realignment of
263
1928780
5460
32:14
power the language of Latin was also integrated into English the romancing of
264
1934240
6000
32:20
the English language was by then well underway in fact the Roman influence had
265
1940240
5790
32:26
occurred earlier albeit in a small way after the introduction of Christianity
266
1946030
5460
32:31
to England during the 7th century it is worth noting that even at this time the
267
1951490
6210
32:37
English spoken bore very little resemblance to the language we use today
268
1957700
3930
32:41
but its influence on modern English cannot be ignored
269
1961630
4170
32:45
a large portion of modern English words are in essence foreign words which came
270
1965800
5850
32:51
into being during the early invasions by the anglo-saxons and the Vikings
271
1971650
7850
33:08
from 1204 ad a division formed this was due to the fall of Normandy and King
272
1988630
6610
33:15
John to the King of France this caused a division between France and the English
273
1995240
5010
33:20
Normans the ruling class by this time were known as the nobles the next big
274
2000250
6060
33:26
change occurred after the Great Plague which wiped out a huge portion of the
275
2006310
4680
33:30
population and led to a surge in the so called laboring class these events led
276
2010990
6240
33:37
to another surge in the use of English as a common language middle English had
277
2017230
4920
33:42
taken hold of the country and would go on to develop yet again into what we now
278
2022150
4380
33:46
refer to as early modern English with this came the period known as the
279
2026530
5190
33:51
Renaissance it signaled the birth of modern literature philosophy and science
280
2031720
5430
33:57
which would go on to shape not only this country but also many parts of the world
281
2037150
4550
34:01
from this would come what we now refer to as modern English people often ask me
282
2041700
8770
34:10
why I'm so fascinated by a language I have spoken all my life and used daily
283
2050470
5070
34:15
why am I not bored of hearing English spoken all the time this would be a fair
284
2055540
5430
34:20
question my love of English comes from not just
285
2060970
3270
34:24
how it is used but from how it came into being used English is more than a
286
2064240
5280
34:29
language it is an essence of all which came before it carries with it
287
2069520
4800
34:34
traditions thoughts and ways of living from over the past nine hundred years
288
2074320
5060
34:39
the changes that have occurred indelibly left their marks on this language as
289
2079380
5110
34:44
Wars and invasions were carried out and attitudes altered so the language
290
2084490
5700
34:50
changed to the marks left by the Romans anglo-saxon Vikings and the many rulers
291
2090190
7410
34:57
of this country ever since have shaped the way in which English is used right
292
2097600
4380
35:01
up to this very day the historical impact of English remains with us new
293
2101980
5190
35:07
countries were formed through this language sometimes by choice and
294
2107170
3780
35:10
sometimes not the modern use of English does more than merely allow dialogue to
295
2110950
5640
35:16
take place it gives us a common ground it serves as
296
2116590
4200
35:20
a means for us to understand each other as I have said before whether we agree
297
2120790
5070
35:25
or disagree with each other is irrelevant the important thing is that
298
2125860
4170
35:30
we are all talking
299
2130030
3589
36:11

300
2171799
6280

we are broadcasting twice across YouTube I'm not sure if I'm the first person
305
2203130
7379
36:50
ever to do that I'm not sure I wasn't too too sure about what would happen
306
2210509
5161
36:55
what what the effect would be of doing that I was a bit worried that YouTube
307
2215670
6270
37:01
might might break so I hope I haven't broken YouTube toch al has sent me some
308
2221940
7649
37:09
information about where he lives my country is Nepal Nepal is a small
309
2229589
4831
37:14

310

7589
37:22
Nepal is also the birthplace of Goutam Buddha thank you very much though shall
311
2242009
6840
37:28
we are all learning something today so if you want to tell me something about
312
2248849
4111
37:32
your country something special you saw earlier that I talked about cricket
313
2252960
6029
37:38
because some people do play cricket here in England a lot of people think
314
2258989
5431
37:44
that playing cricket is very very typical of what you see in England but
315
2264420
6300
37:50
in fact it isn't but you will you will see it sometimes quite often in villages
316
2270720
4519
37:55
because I live in a very small place you see mr. Duncan Donna asks are you single
317
2275239
8741
38:03
I don't know why that is important I have no idea
318
2283980
5180
38:09
Zhanna says I like movie actors such as Meryl Streep and uma Thurman uma Thurman
319
2289160
9790
38:18
she's very very very pretty very lovely actress
320
2298950
4410
38:23
and a good actress as well and I like watching many movies with them over and
321
2303360
5430
38:28
over again yes of course because some people have a favorite actor for example
322
2308790
6420
38:35
I quite like Tom Hanks so I do enjoy watching movies with Tom
323
2315210
6540
38:41
Hanks in so yes that's a that's another good point yes because some movies are
324
2321750
4800
38:46
so good you can watch them again and again but of course you might also be a
325
2326550
5130
38:51
fan of a particular actor or actress so yes that's another good reason for
326
2331680
6240
38:57
watching a particular movie over and over again so maybe you enjoy the movie
327
2337920
4920
39:02
but also perhaps you enjoy watching the actor that appears in the movie well
328
2342840
6420

start raining in fact it's still raining now you might just be able to see
341
2432210
4980
40:37
that it is raining at the moment so I was supposed to go outside and and give
342
2437190
8010
40:45
you some flash phrases and flash words but unfortunately at the moment it is
343
2445200
6750
40:51
actually raining so so hopefully the rain will ease off in a few minutes so I
344
2451950
7409
40:59
can go outside to give you some flash words and flash raises but at the moment
345
2459359
4970
41:04
it's raining here in England I would like to see you can you make a live show

41:16
in public oh I see do you mean that that I should make a personal appearance
347
2476190
6379
41:22
where you are that's a very good idea I have in the past thought about traveling
348
2482569
6731
41:29
to other countries but of course it's very expensive getting on a plane and
349
2489300
4980
41:34
flying to another country and then staying there can be very expensive but
350
2494280
5819
41:40
there are some countries that I would love to visit such as Japan I've always
351
2500099
5250
41:45
been very fascinated by Japan also I would love to go to Vietnam one day
352
2505349

8400
42:17
are right yes of course cricket is played in many countries
356
2537930
3419
42:21
because of the influence of the British Empire of course
357
2541349

5670
48:32
country that I would like to visit one day when Jose mr. Duncan thank you for

2912190
6960
48:39
your very good classes I am Vina del Mar watching in Chile I think I've already
414
2919150
6150
48:45
said hello to you Sano is here practice makes perfect
415
2925300
8310
48:53
yes that's a very good proverb if you have any proverbs that we would like to
416
2933610
5160
48:58
give me today any proverbs or English phrases that you would like to share
417
2938770
4920
49:03
with me practice makes perfect Thank You Zanna for that that is an
418
2943690
5460
49:09
amazing that is a brilliant phrase practice makes perfect
419
2949150
6000
49:15
allows us to remember that the more you do something the easier it becomes so if
420
2955150
6930
49:22
you practice doing things if you do it again and again if you do it many times
421
2962080
6110
49:28
you will improve never be afraid to repeat things
422
2968190
6670
49:34
this is something that I explain quite often to my English students that you
423
2974860
6330
49:41
should never feel afraid to repeat things to do things again and again
424
2981190
6870
49:48
because one of the best ways to learn anything is to repeat it
425
2988060
6500
49:54
come Jeanne says I have to revise my lessons for my final exam but at the
426
2994560
5830
50:00
moment I'm watching the live stream I prefer learning English I prefer
427
3000390
7320
50:07
learning the English rather than those subjects at university well I always
428
3007710
5550
50:13
think English is a very interesting subject to learn because you don't just
429
3013260
4590
50:17
learn the language but also you you discover a whole new world because
430
3017850
5280
50:23
suddenly you can communicate with lots and lots of people in many different
431
3023130
4950
50:28
countries so that is one of the reasons why I love the English language because
432
3028080
5160
50:33
it allows us to communicate it's something I believe in strongly Patricia
433
3033240
9240
50:42

440
3085440
10740
51:36
thank you very much a proverb that goes a friend in need is a friend
441
3096180
7860
51:44
indeed I love that expression yes it reminds us that if someone really needs
442
3104040
6360
51:50
you then it is a sign that they want to be your friend it is also a sign that
443
3110400
5760
51:56
they trust you to help them with their difficulty so yes a friend in need is a
444
3116160

always keep repeating is Sherlock Holmes well there have been many versions of
577
4199429
6270
70:05
Sherlock Holmes made over the years many movies I remember growing up I used to
578
4205699
5431
70:11
watch Sherlock Holmes movies that were made I think they were made in the 1940s
579
4211130
6000
70:17
or 1950s and they starred an actor called Basil Rathbone and he played the
580
4217130
8759
70:25
part of Sherlock Holmes but of course since then many people have played the
581
4225889
5551
70:31
part of Sherlock Holmes including Christopher Lee and more recently
582
4231440

594
4315990
5640
72:01
Woman now in the cinemas I haven't seen it yet but in the 1980s there was a TV
595
4321630
7830
72:09
show in fact I think it was the 1970s there was a TV show called Wonder Woman
596
4329460
6440
72:15
played by Linda Carter so Linda Carter used to play Wonder Woman in the late
597
4335900
6750
72:22
1970s in the TV show Wonder Woman oh I also like Sherlock Holmes series
598
4342650
10390
72:33
with Benedict and ivory watched them several times
599
4353040
5610
72:38
so not only movies so maybe you can watch a movie again and again but some
600
4358650
5220
72:43
people like to watch the same TV show many many times David Howe is here hello
601
4363870
8520
72:52
David Howe watching at the moment where are you where are you David
602
4372390
4860
72:57
is it your first time here let's year says it's not what you look at that
603
4377250
7770
73:05
matters it's what you see yes sometimes we can be very shallow people can be
604
4385020
7350
73:12
very shallow when they see a person that they don't find attractive but maybe
605
4392370
4620
73:16
underneath that person is a wonderful human being so yes and also we also say
606
4396990
7350
73:24
beauty is in the eye of the beholder so we all have different tastes we all have
607
4404340
6060
73:30
different likes so what is appealing to one person might not be appealing to
608
4410400
7920
73:38
someone else I like your hat mr. Duncan how much does it cost this eye I
609
4418320
7710
73:46
actually can't remember I've had this hat for many years I can't even remember
610
4426030
4980
73:51
how much it was Jobin is here Thank You Jo beam for your
611
4431010
5669
73:56
message I I don't think that's a very good thing to say at the moment
612
4436679
6351
74:04
Kate Malik one of your favorite movies is kick the bucket I I've never seen a
613
4444650
8410
74:13
movie called kick the bucket never seen it of course
614
4453060
6179
74:19
kick the bucket means to die or what books do you recommend for improving our
615
4459239
8041
74:27
English level there are many I would never recommend one book or two books I
616
4467280
5850
74:33
would say read as much as you can gather as much information as possible so don't
617
4473130
6060
74:39
just read one book or two books read as much as you can get a dictionary buy a
618
4479190
6270
74:45
dictionary and look through it learn as many words as you can fill your brain
619
4485460
5810
74:51
with English that's what I say don't judge a book by its cover
620
4491270
7600
74:58
yes that's another good expression that's very similar to the one that we
621
4498870
3420
75:02
had just so don't judge something based on its appearance don't just judge
622
4502290
7830
75:10
something based on what it looks like AF war hütter says I've watched the
623
4510120
7860
75:17
friends TV show all I see friends yes a very popular TV show during the 1990s
624

625
4525330
11990
75:37
jobina Babu asks do you think politeness has changed over the years I must say I
626
4537370
8710
75:46
think people have become more self-centered and more selfish over the
627
4546080
7920
75:54
years so I think certainly my my feelings since returning from China for
628
4554000
7410
76:01
example so I so I I even now because I've been living in the UK now after
629
4561410
6840
76:08
coming back from China for ten years for just well nearly ten years
630
4568250
5760
76:14
and when I first came back to the UK I noticed that people became had become
631
4574010
7260
76:21
they've become very shallow very materialistic and maybe even selfish mr.

Sammy KJ asks is there a job that you've always wanted to do well when I was
852
6222849
9310
103:52
young I I always wanted to be on the radio I've always wanted to be a radio
853
6232159
6241
103:58
presenter so even when I was very young about 10 or 11 years old I used to
854
6238400
6389
104:04
pretend that I had a radio show I used to have a little tape recorder a
855
6244789
5180
104:09
tape recorder and a microphone and I used to record shows when I was about 10
856
6249969
7451
104:17
or 11 so I've always wanted to be a radio presenter and for quite a while I
857
6257420
5190
104:22
did it I actually did it so it was something I wanted to do and I did
858
6262610
4379
104:26
actually get to do it but if there was another job that I would like to do I
859
6266989
6690
104:33
think it might be working on a farm I know I've mentioned this in the past
860
6273679
4920
104:38
I've always quite liked the idea of working on a farm
861
6278599

884
6495500
5730
108:21
some of them concerning English and some of them not one subject which has come
885
6501230
5580
108:26
up a lot is the way in which I present my lessons I regularly receive messages
886
6506810
5639
108:32
from viewers saying that I remind them of Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the
887
6512449
5401
108:37
Caribbean movies I don't know what you're talking about after all I don't

889
6522290

easily I'm just an honest man trying to make a living so I hope that I can put
890
6528679
5520
108:54
to rest this idea that my mannerisms are similar to Jack Sparrow's forever go as
891
6534199
6241
109:00

rom-com is an abbreviation it means romantic comedy so when we say
930
6809110
7480
113:36

934
6841010
6569
114:07
you have to earn money from it it's a bit like doing this really mr. Duncan

115:34
Harry Potter is easy to read for English students I think so yes it's a very good
946
6934800
9010
115:43
way of learning English reading a book that is aimed at younger people is a
947
6943810
6000
115:49
very good way of picking up the English language I think so you're right
948
6949810
6830
115:57
apparently Zhanna remembers Fantomas Fantomas I'm not sure
949

6300
117:11
of a cricket match taking place yesterday
