    Some more idioms for you all! These can easily be used in daily situations, so try to keep them with you, ready to use, wherever you go!
    Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

    I can't get my head around: You don't understand
    Get it out of my system: Do something you really want
    Give it a rest: Stop, chill out.
    Blew me away: something was fantastic
    I county care less: Really don't care
    Take it with a pinch of salt: You don't agree completely
    Dig yourself a hole: baring yourself
    Put the nail in the coffin: Its one big bad final to your bad day

    I unintentionally learned American English growing up, so I continued focusing more on that dialect (I'm not a native speaker). However, since I started teaching English, I realized I need to be more educated in at least those two of the most prevalent English dialects because I have students from all profiles wanting to learn different things. These videos are so helpful, and your voice is so soothing. Thank you so much!

    Ciao Elliott. I am an addicted of sound. So your videos are crucial for me. This is just a personal passion. I work with the English language all the time. This is not the point, however. I am a pianist, too. I've studied for years in a professional environment. I took the final degree as Piano performer. However what really changed my performances was my experience in the chamber music, with other musicians, other instruments. In this experience LISTENING makes the difference.
    Music has helped me a lot in my studies. Especially when phonetic was the main issue. How English people speak has become a sort of "lovely" game...where imitation plays a fundamental role.
    I started studying long time ago, when there was any TH-cam and no Internet. I remember I used to record the BBC broadcasting when I succeeded in finding it!
    Thank you so much for your efforts. I wish you a lot of success.
    By the way, I remember I learnt to elide the final "t" in "a bit" listening to people all the time when I was in Torquay for a couple of months. I was 18 yo...
    Now I beg your pardon for my written English🤣. See you.
