Hi,
Thanks for telling us.
There was a problem with our video today; some of it was on a server in New York and due to the storm there it stopped working. It seems to be fixed now.
Best wishes,
Adam

Hello!
I understand it in the following way:
Strong adjectives are used to strengthen the meaning of a word (A good teacher-an excellent teacher)
Examples: good - excellent (a strong one)
                 big - huge  (a strong one)                  
                 small - tiny (a strong one)
I didn't hear any explanations of weak adjectives in that programm. Rob was talking about strong adjectives and other types of adjectives, but you may guess that it is a plain form of an adjective.
Best wishes! Ann.
