		<description>All what was said by you makes sense. No matter what club, service you are going to join in you do not want for sure be bothered by people who happened to be there by accident. So any kind of payment seems to be the best way to make kind of preliminary selection. Personally I do not mind it, I am not going to join any elitary golf club ; ) either. The example you gave was golfing club. What comes to my mind are clubs where everything seems to be quite expensive although it should not be, for example I need to pay double price for beer, drinks etc. It is all about making impression of elitism. People tend to show off, they want to be around people who are in some way similar to them, at least in terms of money. I do not mind it, either. I do not want to be around people who do not want me to be around them ; ). The only problem I can see is that sometimes that kind of elitism can prevent some people from fulfilling their dreams. Some sport disciplines, for sure golf and tennis are the ones are so elitist that &quot;regular&quot; people can not afford to practise them. And that is sad.</description>

and I miss U GUYS ;)

SO Tell me about it, it&#039;s a great and brilliant idea and I like the how u think to help us 
seriously I need to improve my English I visit many site and sign to many courses and I pay a LOT BUT OMG the way they use to teach us is awful and didn&#039;t take seriously!!!!
The problem IS THAT I can understand from the native and what R saying BUT worst is that 
I cant say any thing I cant reply I got confuse and act like an idiot or dosh and the words come out of my mouth like lab la lab la ????
WHY I DONT KNOW!!!!!
The IDEA that U come out is really helpful making small community for those who want to 
improve or learn E is the ONE demand 
BUT there is a problem 
 in my country it’s a bit difficult to pay online cuz I live in Gaza Strip in Palestine
and my salary is about 100$ and it&#039;s barely enough 4 me and it&#039;s hard 2 me to make earn 4 a living??!!!!!

I like UR idea and I wish U could find a way to help people Like us :)

		<description>Hi! I&#039;ve watched this video, and want to ask you, Andy- please please please don&#039;t pay attention to Artur&#039;s comment. First of all, your lessons for the advanced students, who wants to get good stuff from you without any damn childish trash. The video at the link is for beginners, and, in my opinion, not very intelligent beginners with bad sense of humor. It seems like these guys don&#039;t respect their viewers, they&#039;re not interesting and not funny at all.</description>

		<description>Thanks for all the awesome comments guys!  Great stuff.  I read them all and loved them.  Much appreciated.  I wish I could address all of them but I don&#039;t have time at the moment because I&#039;m making more videos!  Anyway, I did want to comment on the last comment.  I appreciate the support Artur.  Great to hear you like China232 and thanks for being honest.  I respect that.

I looked at the link you sent and personally thought it was pretty bad.  Everyone has different tastes.  I&#039;d like to become more professional and get better and better.  In my mind, the video you provided was much less professional and less useful.  I&#039;m very curious what you liked about it.  I&#039;ll be happy to change styles to fit the tastes of you guys, but I really don&#039;t get what is good about this.  I&#039;d love to hear why you like it and also whether or not other people feel the same way.  I don&#039;t mean to sound negative one bit.  I promised on one of my recent blog posts that I&#039;m going to start being more like the real me.  I&#039;m going to say what I really think.  So again, I don&#039;t mean to sound harsh, I&#039;d just like to hear what in fact you or anyone liked about this, and what you are finding could and should be improved about our current style.  

We are still thinking of how to create new video styles, so the more clear the ideas are from you guys, the better.  Thanks everyone!  BTW, based on the comments here, we&#039;re definitely going to be making a &quot;SUPER VIP&quot; section with an elite club of international serious learners.  We&#039;ll add a lot of stuff in there, the awesome community will just be one aspect. I think it&#039;s gonna totally kick ass once it&#039;s done!

		<description>Hi Andy and ADD! 
I just want to tell you guys! What are you doing is good, but you have to make it more professional. With all due respect, just look at your concurrent, sometimes they doing better, with some extend. For example I like this guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWkgwDmH-zI 
I think they do very well. Of course you told that it’s boring to talk about grammar, but you know this video is very useful and fun actually. 
Guys I have to admit that china 232 it’s very useful for me, and it’s fun too, thank you guys!</description>

		<description>Hi Andy,

I personally appreciate the way you try and help the people learn real English stuff. At least, I believe I get what I am paying for your VIP course. I quite agree with you that there is a ton of websites around pretending to be willing to teach something. What they do is just to pump out their old, boring and sucking garbage.

I am trying to visit your website everyday to watch your video lessons. 
Awesome!

Regards,

		<description>Hi guys,
 Great idea. You know I live in Sydney right now and I thoroughly understand what you guys are talking about. I am looking for this serious partner to help me to improve my English. I also tried to make a connection to linguistic faculty to help me to find some to practice English and if he/she is interested in learning my language, I can help him/her. But, I haven&#039;t yet got any feedback. At the moment, I am trying to go to free English conversation class whose teacher is native speaker. They probably make a small group and talk to each other for 2 hour every week. This program is to be continued for 4 consecutive weeks. I also hanging out with native speaker but believe or not it is sometimes difficult to understand them but I am not disappointed. I am gonna be offering  your website (i.e. www.learnenglish232.com) to those who are really serious in learning English.</description>
