00:00Hey, Maya, can I ask you something about English?
00:03Of course. What's confusing you?
00:06I often say, I look forward to meet you.
00:10After look forward to, use a verb ending in ing.
00:14So it's, I look forward to meeting you.
00:17Got it. What about, she explained me the problem?
00:20That's not quite right. You need to say, she explained the problem to me.
00:26English prepositions are my biggest enemy.
00:29You're not alone.
00:31Last week I wrote, I have less friends than before.
00:35Since friends can be counted, use fewer.
00:38The correct sentence is, I have fewer friends than before.
00:42Less water, fewer friends?
00:45Exactly. Less for things you can't count, fewer for things you can.
00:50One final mistake. I said the price was very cheap.
00:54Prices aren't cheap or expensive, things are.
00:57Or, a better sentence is, the price was very low, or the product was very cheap.
01:02Wow, I've been making mistakes I didn't even know existed.
01:07That's how learning works. Every mistake teaches you something new.
01:11Then, I guess I'm learning a lot.
01:13That's the spirit. Thanks a lot.
01:15Thanks a lot.
01:15Thanks a lot.
01:16Bye.
01:16You
