I did it on a directly, polite way without think what she or he thinks. Sometimes it is true that someone gets you wrong.

I don't why, but I can't watch the video, it doesn't load Could someone help me?
Hello rubky9 Are you able to see the other Starting Out videos (for example, episode 1 or 3)? If you were able to see them or are able to see the video now, it was probably a temporary technical error. I've just checked and it's working for me, so I think it should be fine now. If you still can't see the video, I'd suggest you try using a different web browser or a different device to see if it works there. This often solves the problem, but if you still can't see it after trying that, please let us know what browser version you are using and we'll do our best to help you. All the best Kirk The LearnEnglish Team
