For all these years , I thought I knew English because i was playing my games in english , i was watching movies with english subtitles . It turned out that there are still plenty of words that Ive never heard . Jaded,callous,disillusioned etc. Thank you for reminding me that I know nothing at all . As the Romans said : Ignoramus.

Hi, a great video!
But I don't get well on what Neil said, which is ''Now, research shows that fewer than 5% of people who have used dating apps, actually go out on a date with someone they met through them.''
''with someone they met through them'' confuses me actually. Could anyone do me a favour to explain?

I couldn't reach to the website to get the transcript of this video or any other videos of your (6 min) lessons. There seems to be some kind of error in this link in the video's desription. Would you please reply with the right link for the transcript.

there are many people use the dating app successfully but that not me;)) The distance is callous, the main motive that I use it due to out of curious. After many times being disillusioned, I am jaded with it;))

I've never used it. It's kind of embarrasing even if it was successful when I'm asked how I met the partner. Also, it's dangerous because I guess some people are just using it for hookup.

Guys! I really need someone to talk with in English! Just for improving our language and sharing our cultures to each other! It will be really helpful if we try so contact me guys and thanks.

I have never used any dating app. I prefer to meet people face-to-face. It's more conversational. Sometimes I have a chat on social media.
