It is inevitable that i am going to sue him for his unruly behavior
Nuns,why would they do that
Thanks 😘😘😘😘😘 for learning us New words in such an exiting way
your videos have an unruly impact on me that makes learning english inevitable. 🙂
I think those review is really good to learning english and new words and expression. It's really helpful for me, but I just want to ask if they could talk more slow. I'm living in Asia, it's pretty hard to listen what they are saying….😂
Wow. Help me to learn new words. Thumbs up 👍
oh language language LANGUAGE 😭😭😭😭😍
Can i offer an idea?
U may dont have engsub but can u have english auto- generated? Cz i can hear almost the news but there are some few words i cant so can u have it?
Hope to see ur reply! Tks
Thank you.
Interesting presentation! Thanks BBC, Catherine and Tom.
OMG… Where is the subtitle? I'm not an english man you know. Can you be tolerant?
And inevitably, there is no changes in programs. 😁
I think it was a bit unruly of Tom to interrupt Catherine occasionally 😂😂
Our chief has set fund, which we raise by collecting 100 soms per person every month in order to use them for different entertainments. Before going somewhere we should decide the place together. Obviously it was inevitable we started arguing, the more people are there, the more opinions they have. Yet my chief believes that this situation cannot be unruly.
I hate unruly kids!Thanks BBC LE!
Made my day!
hello,I have two questions:
3:47,Tom say "collect money for (?teritifun???)" what is the word in the blank? and in 6:00 what Catherine said about her unruly hair? I did not hear it clearly ^^
Hello. Thanks for this kind of videos. It's a great way to practice our listen.
Great intervention ! I was wondering what embezzling means ! And followed a great explanation !
thanks so much for this video. I am a beginner so I can hear clearly and understand well the man but I not the same when the woman talk. I think she speaks more quickly than the man. Anyway it was very interesting.
The Nun movie part 2 will be The Two Nuns. LOL
Lovely! I love to hear/watch your video. It is nicely slow to catch and easy to understand for foreigners like myself.
thank you so much!!!
So nice
Not nuns; sisters. There is a difference!
I really appreciate for such a nice vocabulary.
