Hi there!
My name is Cleison and I'm from Brazil. This website is great. I can always learn new words and expressions and improve my listening skills through it.
I have a doubt about the transcription. When they are about to get in the London Eye, Aslhie said:
"Oh, and the weather’s so good, we’ll be able to see loads."
What does she means with "we’ll be able to see loads"?
For me, seems that the meaning is "we'll be able to see a lot of things".
Is it an usual term? Can I use it with another verbs or in another tenses too? Like this:
"We'll be able to do loads"
"We've seen loads"
Thank you.

Hello Cleison!
 
Yes, that's a common word in informal British English speech. If you look it up in our on-line Cambridge Dictionary, you'll see it means lots, as you guessed. Both of your example sentences are fine!

Hello ngakute!
 
Sorry to hear you're having problems! Users in Vietnam don't usually have problems watching videos. So I can help you, could you answer these questions?

  • Which web browser are you using? (Firefox, Internet Explorer...?)
  • What computer or phone are you using?
  • What do you see where the videos should appear? Nothing, or is there a message?
  • Have you tried any other web pages on LearnEnglish?
  • Do you still have the same problem if you use a different computer?

 
Let's see if we can sort out your issue!
 
Regards

I have just studied English for about 2 years . I've studied at home and have never had an English teacher or English courses. I just try very hard myself. my comprehension is pretty good and I think listening is the best way to learning English and other languages. I've try that and have been successful.I know I'm not very good yet but I know I can do that.

Hello katerina111!
 
Well, you should see this website as a library – just borrow whatever interests you! A good place to start is our Elementary Podcasts. These are short radio shows about different topics. To help your listening, vocabulary and grammar, you can read the transcripts and do the exercises. You can talk to other learners in the comments, too. There is lots of other material in our Listen and Watch section as well. If you want to work on grammar, take a look at our grammar section.
 
Don't forget that we also have a search box. Put a topic you're interested in into the box – like 'meeting people' or 'the present simple' - and you'll get a list of pages about that topic.
 
We have a lot of different levels on the site, so don't worry if something is too hard – find something easier, and come back to it later. Just try to look at something every day!
 
Hope that helps,
