    Learn 5 common idioms I frequently hear used in Britain in this British expressions and pronunciation lesson. Idioms will help you sound more confident and fluent when you speak English, so write these down, and use the British accent tips I give you to make them sound perfect!
    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.

    Can you record some short stories. For example oliver twist from charles dickens. I will probably listen it. Please do it. It can improve our pronunciation

    I absolutely adore that "Running dogs and cats":))) Well, living in Ireland , I hear this lovely idiom quite often from mature Irish Gentlemen, and have hearing these words, every time I begin looking around - where ARE all those dogs and cats running away of the heavy rain?😂Thanks for the lovely lesson, Alian😊

    Cold Turkey-try to quit something completely
    Out in the sticks-live away from city
    Neck of the woods-your area, your location,where you are from
    Do/done a runner-to escape, to run away
    By the skin of my/your teeth-very close to not achieve goals

    I’m actually French and studied British English in school (long time ago) but because of Netflix and tv series and the fact that as a non native I tend to mimic, I just started having an American accent. So this is perfect !
