I used to live in Baltimore.
Long ago, Baltimore was a rich port city and the second-largest city in America.
But now, Baltimore is famous because about one person every day is shot and killed there. (333 killed in 2022, 337 in 2021)
One Sunday afternoon, I went for a walk.
My neighborhood had parks and museums and art galleries and cafes.
But after just a few turns, I was in a different neighborhood.
This neighborhood had liquor stores with bars on the windows.
In English, we call this “a bad neighborhood.”
Bad YouTube Neighborhoods
YouTube also has bad neighborhoods.
In these neighborhoods, also called “channels”, your English can get mugged.
You may become so bored that you fall asleep.
You may become so confused that you quit because you decide Chinese will be easier.
Some examples I found in a bad neighborhood:
“Stop using the glottal stop!”
“How to talk about percentages.”
“Formal, Neutral, Informal: Use the correct register in English!
Zzzzzz…
So what are the good neighborhoods?
What channels will improve your English?
Let’s talk about that tomorrow.

I like to watch short movies, 5-20 minutes about different topics.😃
Yes, I saw something interesting video lessons on YouTube, the channel of a young, nice person, Cambridge graduate She teach about how to become more fluent and more spontaneous in English. One of the method she spoke was solo technique of narration..
You choose a certain important event in your life, think at a few kee points, imagine you are in the front of an audience and you narate the event.By repeating and practicing this technique you become more fluent day by day.
I disagree with you, Mr. Vig.
Take a look at the YouTube channel Luk’s English Podcast, for example, the interview with Steve Kaufmann, whom you also swear by.
You even advertise through his channel.
What are you talking about?
Hi, I know that channel. A lot of my students like it. He tells stories. So if you like it, too-that’s great!

I cannot comprehend how some individuals can be so mentally sick and so stupid to believe in a word this bald fuck said. What is he even on about. Do you need to see a doctor or a psychologist. What do you even mean by neighbourhood. Do you know the meaning behind the words ur using or are just trying to waste your time even further you waste of oxygen.
