EWM Bot: English With Masters Helper

You follow an English channel, you solved a quiz, and now you want to share your answer or ask a grammar question, but the comments are packed. EWM bot exists for that: it accepts messages from readers and passes them to the people who run the English With Masters channels.

It is not a teacher or a tutor. It is the project's mailbox. Its rules are described briefly and honestly, and they tell you right away what is expected.

What you can send the bot

The description lists four scenarios. All of them are about channel life, not individual teaching.

• Quiz answers. If a quiz is running in the channel, you can send your answer here.
• Grammar questions. Try to find the answer yourself first: the description asks you to search the internet beforehand.
• Suggestions. Ideas for the group and channels: which topics to cover, what to change.
• Admin contact. For advertising questions, or if you were banned from the group.

What the bot does not do

The list of no-go items in the profile matters just as much.

1. It does not explain word meanings. The authors suggest using a dictionary.
2. It does not proofread texts. Sending essays for correction is pointless.
3. It does not do homework. Such messages get no reply.

If you want a free proofreader, choose a text checking service or find a practice partner.

What stands behind it

The main English With Masters channel has about 76 thousand subscribers. Posts are tagged by topic and level: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, at levels from intermediate to advanced. The material clearly targets people who have moved beyond the basics.

A partner channel with quizzes and one for exam preparation run alongside it. The bot is a shared entry point to all of them.

Learning English from channels

A channel does not replace a course, but it complements one well. Short posts are easy to read in a queue or on a commute.

• Keep a notebook. Write down three words a day with example sentences.
• Take quizzes regularly. Mistakes stick better than right answers you got the first time.
• Review every other day. Spaced repetition brings a word back before you forget it.
• Speak out loud. Pronunciation will not improve by reading alone.

Writing to the admins well

Make the message specific. Say which post you mean and what exactly you did not understand. One idea per message, not ten questions in a row.

If you write about advertising, name the format and desired dates right away. If you were banned from the group, describe what happened calmly and without accusations. That raises your chance of a reply 🙂

Who it is for

The bot suits channel readers who need to send a quiz answer or contact the admins. If you never followed these channels, there is nothing for you here: the bot does not run lessons of its own.
