5310
02:56
to make another one within the next couple of weeks I'll keep my fingers
23
176510

03:01
crossed for that one question 3 why do you always say tatar at the end of your
24
181550
9210
03:10
lessons can you say something else instead that's a great question at the
25
190760
6900
03:17
end of each lesson of course i always say tatar for now and that's because
26
197660
4500
03:22
it's a friendly way of saying goodbye so that's why i do it for a short time I
27
202160
6060
03:28
stopped saying it and I received many messages from students all around the
28
208220
5130
03:33
world saying mr. Duncan you've stopped saying tatar for now why can you please
29
213350
5760
03:39
carry on saying it so that's the reason why i say tatar for now is because if i
30
219110
6270
03:45
stop doing it everybody will complain a question and before i enjoyed lesson 73
31
225380
8370
03:53
about the olympic games how many people are involved in making a lesson like
32
233750
6000
03:59
that that's a nice question well as you know i make a most of my lessons on my
33
239750
6660
04:06
own including my Olympic lesser which was less than 73 I made it all by myself
34
246410
7640
04:14
with a little bit of help from mr. Steve of course so to answer your question
35
254050
6189
04:20

36
260239
5921
04:26
he questioned five earlier this year you were in Turkey will you be visiting
37
266160
7250
04:33
another country whoo I like that question the answer to that is yes I
38
273410
7570
04:40
would like to visit many more countries of course traveling around the world
39
280980
5760
04:46
takes up a lot of time so if I'm doing that it means I can't make any new
40
286740
4680
04:51
lessons but I would love to visit another country very soon maybe
41
291420

317940

05:24
go on get writing now question 6 why don't you ever reply to my message I get
46
324030
9060
05:33
that one a lot many many times in fact the reason why I don't reply to all of
47
333090
7680
05:40
the messages is because I get so many but I do promise and I can promise right
48
340770
5670
05:46
now that i read all of the messages that i receive it's just the fact that i
49
346440
5700
05:52
can't reply to them all so if i haven't replied to you I'm very sorry but I can
50
352140
6720
05:58
promise that i have read it okay okay okay hmm question 7 do you have a

55
398800
7230
06:46
English alone well I suppose you can yes the answer to that question is yes if
56
406030
7410
06:53
you are willing to put the work in and you have enough motivation you can do
57
413440
6659
07:00
anything by yourself and finally question 9 why do you teach English in
58
420099
8070
07:08
English well that's a good question I suppose many people ask me this
59
428169
5581
07:13
including people who speak English is their first language and sometimes they
60
433750
5430
07:19
ask me in a very rude way they say mr. Duncan you're stupid you teach English in
61
439180
6660
07:25
English why do you do that you you stupid man well let me explain let me
62
445840
6569
07:32
use a little bit of logic first of all i speak english and i was able to learn
63
452409
6151
07:38
English without knowing any other language whatsoever so when I was a
64
458560
5310
07:43
little mr. Duncan I couldn't speak any language whatsoever so I was able to
65
463870
6060
07:49
learn English without having any language so if I can do that then I'm
66
469930
5820
07:55
sure somebody who already has a language to refer to can learn English very
67
475750
7259
08:03
easily so that's the reason why I hope that explains the question and the
68
483009
7171
08:10
answer ok are we happy with that so please no more abusive messages cuz cuz
69
490180
8340
08:18
