One of favorite English proverb is *"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"* (which means beauty is relative to each person and if you don't find yourself beautiful, someone else does) and *"Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house"*
The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" really applies to you miss lucy. you are so kind and a brilliant teacher. may you achieve success in your work :)
I enjoyed this Lucy!!!!!!! Another favourite of mine is: "Rome wasn't built in a day." I remember this to remind myself anything worthwhile takes time to accomplish and to also neither rush nor hurry the results. Lots of love and kisses!!!❤❤💋💋
Thank you for saying the proverbs in English. Of theses five proverbs what I think best is "the grass is always greener" because it gives us the exactly idea of how people usually think about the particular situation of others, giving only importance to the positive side and abstracting the bad circumstances.
Hi Lucy. Always love your videos! Here are the Chinese proverbs which have similar meanings as the English you mentioned in this video. 1. 这山望着那山高（The mountain is always higher). 2. 不要以貌取人. 3. 入乡随俗. 4. 百炼成钢. 5. 车到山前必有路 and/or 船到桥头自然直. Hope you like them. :D
In America we use a great many proverbs, such as "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" and similarly, "Beggars can't be choosers" both of which basically mean People who are given something can't be selective. A few other commonly used ones are: "All's well that ends well" - As long as the outcome is good, the difficulty getting there was worth it. "When it rains, it pours" - When something happens, it usually happens with great intensity and frequency. (Usually uttered after a negative series of events i.e. lost your keys causing you to be late then left your phone at home or the battery dies and then a tire pops on the way to work) "Actions speak louder than words" - Prove what you say by your actions. "Better late than never" - Better to do something late than to not do it at all. "Better safe than sorry" - Better to do something carefully and cautiously than to suffer the consequences later. "Curiosity killed the cat" - People who are too inquisitive and meddlesome can get themselves into trouble. "Every dog has its day" - Every person will have their moment of glory.
Hi Lucy! You're doing a great job. I can see passion in your eyes and I also see that you're a beautiful person. You are helping many people. Thank you.
Hi Lucy. Ive just seen this video and now I'm on really important exams for entrance university. Your video always encourages me and inspires me to learn and brush up my English skill. These proverbs made my feeling so good. Thank you so much💓 from Japan
I love the proverb :'When at Rome,do as the Romans 'It 's hard to adapt a different cultures, a culture that is strange to you but it's normal to foreign people ,maybe they do it daily. Adapt to other shows respect to other countries and it's something that I should do. Thanks a lot for this video.
Dear Lucy, thank you for all these interesting lessons, which I love very much. They are helping me to not forget my English now that I am in my own country (Italy) after living 10 years in London. You see...when there's will , there's a way! Keep up with the good work! HAPPY NEW YEAR! xxx
unfortunately I have discovered your channel late :/ you are such an amazing teacher,, i have watched at least 12 videos since yesterday evening and I'm satisfied.. thank you pretty British girl
'Don't judge a book by its cover' is my favourite proverb. In Brazi, we say 'não julgue um livro pela capa', which is equivalent to ' don't judge a book by its cover'. 'Practice makes perfect' in Portuguese: 'A prática leva à perfeição'.
Hi @English with Lucy ! I visited your channel by chance but I think I'll settle down in here for good. I'm from Poland and I can't wait to learn more about English from your videos!
I love this video too much becuase it's useful that you can use everyday in different situations. but not only that you have many amazing videos. I use to listen every night to improve my English. thanks so much. I am waiting for the next video.☺
Hello Lucy, I love your video so much. Just a little feedback, would you do more vlog? Because I believe by introducing what UK is all about could increase the motivation for viewers to learn more English in a fun way.
Thanks Lucy for your wonderful video lessons! "When in Rome , do as the Romans do" (a Hindi equivalent for this is: Jaisa Des Vaisa Bhes)--exactly the same meaning. "mimic the local culture!"
in one of your videos you said when you were a child people made fun of your accent! how dare they?? I cant believe that, your accent is just so stunning, most of the time I just play your videos to hear you speaking with that lovely accent!! and thank you for your videos .
another amazing video Lucy!! since I discovered your channel I have study a lot, with your tips I'm getting better and I hope soon visit London and study more and improve the accent
Hey Lucy!! I am a new student of yours and I have already become a very big fan!!! I am having an English exam in the first week of October and I am sure that I can surely come first if I continue to learn from you Many thanks, Shriya
Very interesting. Since you've been learning italian, let's make a comparison: 1) Identical to italian (neighbour's grass is always greener") (L'erba del vicino è sempre più verde); 2) We also say that but we often say "The outfit doesn't make the monk" (L'abito non fa il monaco) 3) The funny things is that we don't use it (^__^), we say, litterally; "Country you go to, habits you find (Paese che vai, usanza che trovi) even though it's not just the same meaning; 4) We say "The practice strenghten the organ" (L'uso sviluppa l'organo); 5) We say "Will is power" (Volere è potere).
Hi Lucy. Great video! I've just discovered your videos on youtube. I love the fresh style of your teaching videos and the branding/ image you are building. Speaking as a fellow English teacher with my own youtube channel as well, you've built up an insane amount of subscribers in such a short period of time. It's incredibly impressive! RESPECT! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
In Italy we have all of these as well! Some of them (like the 4th, the 1st and the 2nd) are the exact translation of the ones we use here in Italy. We have a proverb which is "volere è potere", which litterally means "if you want you can", which is like the 5th you said, and then we have "paese che vai, usanze che trovi" which is similar to the 3rd one ("if you're in Rome, do as Romans do"). Litterally it means "when you go to a country, you find its customs". But obviously there are a bunch of other proverbs used in Italy! We seriously have a lot
Hi Lucy, how are you? I'm Brazilian, and I'm still practicing my English My favorite proverb is also number five (I write them in my study books) ... Thank you for the lessons and happy new year! :)
The number 3 proverb gives me in first listen that: Information about English and Rome civilizations. What think English people about Rome or Romans. And what behave or consider Rome people to other cultures who visit their country. Respect must be always mutual.
“Fall down seven times, stand up eight” - Japanese proverb. Similar to “practice makes perfect”, but reminds you that no matter how many times you fail, getting up again is the key to succeeding.
Hi Lucy! I'm a brazilian fan of your channel. I'd like to thank you because you're helping me a lot with your lessons. I'm following the tips to improve my skills in English and I guess it's working! Congratulations, you are doing a brilliant job. By the way, don't you have interest in studying Portuguese since you speak Spanish? Both are very similar languages.
For any non native speakers: Edward's version of the proverb does NOT mean the same thing. "Where there's a will, there's a way" is about determination. In this proverb, "will" means wanting something. Edward's version in a tongue-in-cheek version, a funny version, a play on words. It changes "will" to mean the legal document describing who gets someone's money after they die. "Where there's a will, there's relatives" means something like, "If you have money, there will always be people who want it, so be careful not to fall in with people who are only using you for your money".
Would you please make a video, talking about the different English accents in the UK, and please include upper Rp and the Queens English, as I'm afraid many people do think rp is the highest tier of the English accents
Hi Lucy. I am Riya I sending from my brothers account. I just love your attitude I speak very nice English but sky is the limit I would like to improve mine with the help of yours
One of favorite English proverb is *"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"* (which means beauty is relative to each person and if you don't find yourself beautiful, someone else does) and *"Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house"*

The last proverb and your story was inspirational.
Good work, Lucy.

Good video Lucy. Please make more of these kind of videos, i love that different cultures have similar proverbs to mine but using different words.
There is an American version of #5: Where there's a will, there's relatives. Great job, looking forward to the next video!
For any non native speakers: Edward's version of the proverb does NOT mean the same thing. "Where there's a will, there's a way" is about determination.
