    If you go on wikipedia you can find the origins of these words…

    As good as you were at explaining words a year ago… OMG your presentation skills and production quality has improved so much! You have let me know your secret, it can’t just be practice.

    PS I can’t believe the YouTube comments for this video are relatively intelligent.

    Oh, and just to notice, we always used it only - once - by one person for greeting someone we just met, not - twice -…
    Nobody says “hello” twice either

    Hi Marina,

    I’ve been going back and catching up on old lessons I never watched before. You are really improving your game considerably over such a short time. Remarkable.

    Regarding “hello” though, you might want to redo this video. Prior to the invention of the telephone, the word was used as a greeting in literature (e.g. Mark Twain in the story “Roughing It” and as far back as the 1820’s by other authors).

    Have a great day!

    Hey Eric, I agree with you on your suggestion. I also have found other references to the word. Also many references to the word ahoy. I think further investigation and a remake of the video would be great.

    Ahoy hoy Marina,

    Great presentation & explanation, you mesmerize me with your beauty and the fact that you like to explain words/phrases, you explain so seductively.

    I like it, while learning at the same time, good website!
