Glad to see that someone is doing this on here! Many people need this kind of posts so I personally thank you :)
Cool. I personally and professionally (well, semi-pro, here on Steemit) thank you for your kinds works.
And I'm thrilled that you appreciate this work that "someone is doing on here." After I first looked at Steemit, I realized how we could create such great resources for the entire world, and have all those resources put on the blockchain, for posterity.
Seemed like a damn good idea to me. And I had a few good ideas of what I could offer.
I really like what you do, too, particularly your series. A series is not only a great way to attract regular followers, but an amazing opportunity to create a full and comprehensive knowledge base. I try to encourage more people to post in a series. It's easier, and it's better, than a mass of single posts.
Cheers, and Full Steem Ahead.
Wow, so many kind words that I don't even know how to react :D (I'm an introvert and it's hard to express myself into words)
Really thank you from the bottom of my heart, your opinion matters a lot to me :)
Happy to know about you! @fitinfun had introduce you in her post recently. Anyways I'm glad to check you out. Because after reading this article you not only giving free hand outs for others to share around but also you thought me a lot of new words!
Are you doing this daily basis?
Happy to meet you. And glad you like this and that you are handing them out.
I'm currently trying to upload these groups of prefixes on a daily basis.
About 3 months from now, I will begin posting each individual entry (each text box). Then, I will definitely do them daily, and will probably include short exercises for any learner to complete. Hope you keep following and finding those posts.
You are a great writter and i think I am lucky who follow you and learn new thing from you and your post you always try to give a lesson to the reader
thankss for sharing this great leasson your vocab-ability post is always knowledge full
and the second main thing on your post is that you also give a brief reply which cover more information keep it up
God bless you
Thank you for your compliment and kind words. I consider myself lucky to be able to share this material, and lucky to have followers who appreciate this material.
I'll keep it up for quite a while...
This is a great way to learn the language.
I think all the teacher's should approach English this way.
Specially in the Asian and the African belt.
Thanks, and ... no kidding. I'm currently studying Thai, and sometimes I wish we students had a similar reference of all the Thai vocab.
Yes, it's always easy to remember the meaning of the words, when you know the roots of the smaller words within the word.
I see only few teachers practicing this.
I knew it all. What a winner.
Woohoo. Second place in the writing contest, FIRST place here.
I hereby announce that @sandrina.life is the champion of this "I - Vocab-ability" post!!! Congrats!!!!!
Too bad, I have never heard most this words in my entire life! Damn I should keep on following you!
Yep, you damn well should keep following me. You just might learn something ... or many things. In a few months, I'm gonna do daily posts of each individual entry (each "text box"). I will include short exercises, which will receive upvotes if completed properly in the comments section.
Then, you will really start learning a lot. Good luck!!
That sounds great! Instead of an expensive English course a free course on my favorite platform! I will definitely follow you!
Great. I wanna teach hundreds of thousands of students around the world, on Steemit. (So, I guess I need another 99,000 followers.)
Hahah next time, I will resteem your post. Hopefully it will help you to find a few other students!
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I think I’m very immature 😂
Good exercise. If you can use the word "immature" in such fictional and creative way, you must be very intelligent and ... MATURE!
I will eventually become intelligent and mature enough if you keep on posting this educational post. I will continue to learn more... it will help me increase my very limited vocabulary.
Many Asians can speak very good English, so don't let your Asian-ness hold you back.
Awesome work as always..
Word meanings and sentences, I feel like I'm in school again but in a good way.
Cool. Some people would say that education begins AFTER school is finished. In a good way!
Those are very wise people
Your article, as always, is very informative. I believe that you are doing a great job sharing knowledge with others. Good luck to you
