I've been following a lot of English teaching channels for a long time now, But, trust me, you guys provide the most advanced and natural language. My respect to you ladies ❤❤
Wow Leila! My goodness! What a gift! What a gem! How I loved that lesson !!! Honestly I just didn't see the 15 minutes pass. I totally lost the track of time that flew off in a blink of an eye. Not only all the expressions were absolutely amazing but I laugh my ass off all the lesson long (especially the part related to the 'I made a a mistake' alternatives 😂). Your humour and facial expressivity are a real treat and pleasure! It was very rhythmic and edgy; clear, fluid, accurate, expressive and rather straight to the point or ... How to learn without even realising! 👍 Probably the greatest compliment a teacher can receive I guess ... Both you and Sabrah are incredible teachers. Your British voices and accent are to me like the epitome of the English language and a real climax to my ears !!! Thanks a million for that. I just ...love you my sweeties 👏👏👏... I feel like that lesson is gonna be a hit! Gros bisous Leila! You rocked it, you kicked ass... That was downright fantastic 🥰😘🌹🌹🧡🧡💕💕 ........+ ∞ I think I'm gonna watch this endlessly ... Please all, share, SHARE! 😊
Hello Leila, My son and I are learning English from your channel. My son is primary 4 in Hong Kong. His English teacher always made positive comments on his writing , excellent usage of vocabularies and outstanding adjectives! He learned all of english from you. Thank you very much indeed!
Hi!!! What a wonderful comment to read! Thank you so much for taking the time to message us and put a big smile on my face! What’s your son’s name? I’ll say hi in the next video I film! 💕💕💕
Hi Leila, it's another great lesson, you have always provided crystal clear explanations which have taken my English to next level . you hit it off the park. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hello Leila english teaching the lessons create some thing new words to learn some of them are know and not know becouse never have use familiar daily life thanks to you
You're so right Leila! Learning and becoming familiar with the expressions, idioms and phrases is so important because they are so much used on a daily basis and also they make the richness and 'colour' of the language. I dunno if you studied a bit of French next to Italian and Spanish but I know Sabrah did so here are some common equivalents in French you'll maybe find interesting: 1) I'm afraid I can't J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir .... Then you can give a reason like Je suis vraiment désolé mais j'ai déjà autre chose de prévu....etc. 2) Over my dead body Ah non! Plutôt mourir ! Il faudra me passer sur le corps ! Sur mon cadavre ! Jamais de la vie ! 3) It's not really my thing! C'est pas trop mon truc/mon 'trip' ! Ex: Non, merci mais c'est pas trop mon truc en fait ! 4) I would jump at the chance! Je sauterais sur l' occasion / Je foncerais sans hésiter / je n' hésiterais pas une seconde ... 5) How could I say no to that! Comment refuser ! / Comment pourrais-je refuser ! / Comment dire non ! .... 6) Would you like to get a coffee/glass/drink...? Wanna grab a coffee? Tu prends un café ? / Tu bois un coup ? / Tu prends un verre ? ... (or you can use the more polite 'vous prenez' if you don't know the person well) 7) Wait! (Attends/Attendez ! ) Hang on! could/would you hang on? excuse(z)-moi une seconde/minute ! Patiente(z) un instant s.v.p. ! ... 8) Hold your horses! On se calme ! / du calme ! / Attends un peu ! / Minute papillon ! ... 9) Gimme a sec! (Donne-moi/laisse moi) une seconde/minute ! Donnez-moi/Laissez-moi une seconde/minute ! 10) Hurry up! (Dépêche-toi ! fam: Magne-toi ! Grouille-toi ! ...) Dépêchez-vous ! Magnez-vous ! Grouillez-vous ! Don't dilly dally Ne traine(z) pas ! Ne lambinez pas ! 11) Stop faffing about/around! arrête(z)/cesse(z) de traîner/tourner en rond/tergiverser ! 12) Why? (pourquoi ?) how come? Comment se fait-ce ? Comment ça se fait ? Comment se fait-il ? 13) Can you help me? Would you ming giving me a hand? Could you give me a hand? Peux-tu/pouvez-vous me donner un coup de main (s.v.p.) ? Pourrais-tu/pourriez-vous me donner un coup de main (s.v.p.) ? 14) What do you fancy? Que veux-tu ? Que désires-tu ? Que souhaites-tu ? Que voulez-vous ? Que désirez-vous ? Que souhaitez-vous ? Or with the 'est-ce que' as you know very used in French: Qu' est-ce que tu veux/désires/souhaites ? Qu'est-ce que vous voulez/désirez/souhaitez ? More polite using the conditional: Que voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais-tu ? Que voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez-vous ? qu'est-ce que tu voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais ? Qu'est-ce que vous voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez ? Note: A perfect example where you see how English is way much simpler than French, right? 😂 15) What's wrong? What's up? Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ? Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe ? Que se passe-t-il ? Qu' y-a-t-il ? 16) Long time no see! ça faisait longtemps ! ça fait un bail ! ça fait une paye ! Depuis le temps ! .... To be followed ... 🥰🌹🧡
Hello, Leila! I'm all ears to your explanation. I get it and would like to apply several of the words I could remember on my conversation. Thank you for the materials. It helps me a lot.
Oh wow, lovely to see you in the brand new.year.... Infact, I was impatiently waiting to wish you for the new 2022 but this was the only forum that I can get through to you and glad you came up with this great lesson earlier than expected which helped me in a big way to wish you and sabrah for the new 2022 ❤️❤️... And here's to you and Sabrah for a great 2022...and May you and sabrah draw all the courage and blessings and execute your precious and valuable lessons as the year unfolds!!! 🙏🙏 Tnx for all your commitment and support during the last year... ❤️❤️😘👍🙏 Finally, May god bless you,Sabrah and all your families and friends always and forever... Yours always xoxoxo, "Gams..." ❤️
Madam Leila is bestowed a prudent trait that catalyses the listeners' curiosity and attention towards her well lovely explained lessons! Actually beautiful and Paradised teacher.
Hi, Queen Leila. Holy cow, what a great smashing lesson! You're on a whole new level. Moreover it was laughable, you put a smile on our faces. Your expressive facial expressions are a real doozy! A total class act!👍🏻❣️ Wishing you the best! Tons of love!🥰💞🤘😘💖💗💗💕
Hi Leila, Wish you a very Happy New Year! An interesting and informative lesson about idioms and phrases to daily uses. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and learnered many new things. It is truly useful to all learners. Thanks and regards,
Leila mam u r stupendous 😇😇and unstoppable ,nothing can stop ur great effort, it's been everyone's privilege to have u as a great tutor 👨🏫👨🏫each and every videos🎥🎥 you are uploading it brings a great smile😊😊😊 on our face, for this smile we always eager to learn something new that we haven't learn during our past time so and we always exhilarating ourselves and prepare for your next video
Thks so much for new year gift in 2022. Excellent lesson as always. I really appreciate yr time n yr hard work to do this. Happy New Year Leila Keep up the great work 💕👍🥰
I really liked 'wait a sec, I'll be there in a minute ...' and then you're left waiting for - how long? rofl - honestly, I really do enjoy your lessons.
Really Thanks so much for your video, it's really very useful for me to understand the native English speakers, I really like it cos these English expressions I were never taught in local school in Hong Kong. You know what? the expression "Long time no see" , this one I totally understand it, cos this expression is a Chinese word directly translated to an English word. The Chinese English teachers always laugh that students should not say in this way, cos it's "a very Chinese "English expression. But now is a Native English Speaker like you to say it is more native way to express "Haven't seen you for ages"is "Long Time No See " Is it ridiculous?!
Hi Leila, great video. Apropos the first example i.e. “No”, if I have to decline an offer of tea at my friend’s place, what else could I colloquially say in English / American lingo (besides “I’m good”) ?
I really liked "cocked it up" - it sounds pretty much like the four-letter word in this sense, and "I don't give a crap" sounds just fine as well. Just found "I don't give a flying crap" is also acceptable, or rather unacceptable, and most amazing, "I don't give a rat's behind".
Golly 😍 What a dog's bollocks lesson!!!🥰 It's hecka come in handy for us mam.....You rock everywhen mam...A heart-to-heart with you mam It's been ages since you and your pal saw on TH-cam mam..... Are you okay mam?🤔 Nevertheless Your teaching is greatest thing since sliced bread and your mate as well mam.....😁 Thanks for sharing spectacular lesson and I'm so grateful for your assistance mam.....♥️♥️♥️
Hello Leila! Hope you are doing great! I want to tell you something, maybe no one has never told you this, you are soo hilarious. You got me at 8:02🤣🤣🤣 I never heard of such thing before. I wondered how hard was it for you to hold your laugh. Probably, you are that funny that you haven't paid attention to it. I love watching your videos to see the jokes you crack. Anyway, have a good one.
Good job teacher, excellent class, I have learned several expressions more, but please, don't let me down, sometimes I am feeling blue because I get lost ( I don't use a translator) with your words. You slam the accelerator and I start being back and forth trying to understand, and taking up the lesson again. Good job, I can't keep with your rhythm. I am a marathon man not a sprinter like Usain Bolt. Bolt, It is funny, you don't run as Bolt does, you fly. But I need to get used to following your rhythm. It will be my challenge.
1:27 Hahaha! 😂Personally I would be so chuffed to bits if I could be uploaded in the flesh by you and Sabrah even only for a hug, to say you a little hello and be close to you 2 my sweeties! I feel a bit devastated that you don't need to upload me! 😂😂👍👌 🥰😘🌹🌹🧡💕. Gonna watch the lesson now. See ya later Leila!

Sans blague ?! Tu plaisantes ?! .... Tu rigoles ?! ... slang/colloquial: tu déconnes ? ... Hope you'll like it. Bisous 🥰🌹🧡 Funny fact: In English the 'C' word is the most taboo! In French 'con!' is very used and one of the most popular, along with 'merde!' of course! Sorry, excuse my French! ;-) 😂 Or should I say maybe: Excuse my English! like you Leila! (thanks by the way! 😂) In fact 'un con' originally designated the female pudenda and therefore the same thing as a 'c--t' but it hasn't the same vulgar or dirty connotation in French ! (For example Georges Brassens or Pierre Perret used it in many songs with that 'erotic' sense). Then it derived to mean a prick/moron/twat/idiot .... So it can be rude when you insult someone calling them un 'con' with a derogative, offensive tone. But, just like in English in certain context, a rude term can also be used as a term of 'endearment' with friends so you can call a friend 'un con!' when he says a nonsense or pulls /plays you a prank/trick/joke for example. So you would say to him: T'es con ! T'es un con ! Quel con ! .... ;-)
It is in your answer to Carlos Henrique below! ;-) I promise you're gonna be shocked yourself ...:-) You 'shamely' wrote: "You’re comments are always appreciated" Possessive YOUR! and not 'you are=you're' which here doesn't mean a thing ... I'm sure even Francesco would fall over with a feather seeing it! 😂😂. ...Or maybe he is the one who writes the comments?! 😂😂😂 I'm kidding of course! .... ;-) I know he's brilliant. Hi to him and best wishes 2022! :-) You spotted it? P.S: Of course Leila don't take me too seriously. (That's the contrary of me.) Being serious without taking oneself seriously! is the deal ;-) My love and admiration are absolutely not impaired by what one could think is an insignificant detail but ... not so much in fact (!) and I'm pretty sure that as a teacher (of the English language namely) you will totally agree with me ... Bisous Leila! 🧡🌹
Everything seems so obvious but... How to apply these in daily life?😩 The method is only one, practice 😄 As usual knowledge of English is enormous but using much worse 😭
Hi Leila,
I am 63 old man from Poland. Your lesson was very useful for me. Greetings.
It was such a sensational lesson.And you know, this lesson teaches us both basic and native English,so this was soo useful. You guys rockk!❤
I've been following a lot of English teaching channels for a long time now, But, trust me, you guys provide the most advanced and natural language. My respect to you ladies ❤❤
Wow Leila! My goodness! What a gift! What a gem! How I loved that lesson !!! Honestly I just didn't see the 15 minutes pass. I totally lost the track of time that flew off in a blink of an eye. Not only all the expressions were absolutely amazing but I laugh my ass off all the lesson long (especially the part related to the 'I made a a mistake' alternatives 😂). Your humour and facial expressivity are a real treat and pleasure! It was very rhythmic and edgy; clear, fluid, accurate, expressive and rather straight to the point or ... How to learn without even realising! 👍 Probably the greatest compliment a teacher can receive I guess ...
Both you and Sabrah are incredible teachers. Your British voices and accent are to me like the epitome of the English language and a real climax to my ears !!!
Thanks a million for that. I just ...love you my sweeties 👏👏👏...

You are the best teacher. 👌 very well 👏 done.
You're so right Leila! Learning and becoming familiar with the expressions, idioms and phrases is so important because they are so much used on a daily basis and also they make the richness and 'colour' of the language. I dunno if you studied a bit of French next to Italian and Spanish but I know Sabrah did so here are some common equivalents in French you'll maybe find interesting:
1) I'm afraid I can't
J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir .... Then you can give a reason like
Je suis vraiment désolé mais j'ai déjà autre chose de prévu....etc.
2) Over my dead body
Ah non! Plutôt mourir !
Il faudra me passer sur le corps !
Sur mon cadavre !
Jamais de la vie !
3) It's not really my thing!
C'est pas trop mon truc/mon 'trip' ! Ex: Non, merci mais c'est pas trop mon truc en fait !
4) I would jump at the chance!
Je sauterais sur l' occasion / Je foncerais sans hésiter / je n' hésiterais pas une seconde ...
5) How could I say no to that!
Comment refuser ! / Comment pourrais-je refuser ! / Comment dire non ! ....
6) Would you like to get a coffee/glass/drink...? Wanna grab a coffee?
Tu prends un café ? / Tu bois un coup ? / Tu prends un verre ? ... (or you can use the more polite 'vous prenez' if you don't know the person well)
7) Wait! (Attends/Attendez ! ) Hang on! could/would you hang on?
excuse(z)-moi une seconde/minute ! Patiente(z) un instant s.v.p. ! ...
8) Hold your horses! On se calme ! / du calme ! / Attends un peu ! / Minute papillon ! ...
9) Gimme a sec! (Donne-moi/laisse moi) une seconde/minute ! Donnez-moi/Laissez-moi une seconde/minute !
10) Hurry up! (Dépêche-toi ! fam: Magne-toi ! Grouille-toi ! ...) Dépêchez-vous ! Magnez-vous ! Grouillez-vous !
Don't dilly dally Ne traine(z) pas ! Ne lambinez pas !

14) What do you fancy?
Que veux-tu ? Que désires-tu ? Que souhaites-tu ? Que voulez-vous ? Que désirez-vous ? Que souhaitez-vous ?
Or with the 'est-ce que' as you know very used in French:
Qu' est-ce que tu veux/désires/souhaites ? Qu'est-ce que vous voulez/désirez/souhaitez ?
More polite using the conditional:
Que voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais-tu ? Que voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez-vous ?
qu'est-ce que tu voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais ? Qu'est-ce que vous voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez ?
Note: A perfect example where you see how English is way much simpler than French, right? 😂
15) What's wrong? What's up?
Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ? Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe ? Que se passe-t-il ? Qu' y-a-t-il ?

Fair enough
I really liked 'wait a sec, I'll be there in a minute ...' and then you're left waiting for - how long? rofl - honestly, I really do enjoy your lessons.
Fantastic
Really Thanks so much for your video, it's really very useful for me to understand the native English speakers, I really like it cos these English expressions I were never taught in local school in Hong Kong. You know what? the expression "Long time no see" , this one I totally understand it, cos this expression is a Chinese word directly translated to an English word. The Chinese English teachers always laugh that students should not say in this way, cos it's "a very Chinese "English expression. But now is a Native English Speaker like you to say it is more native way to express "Haven't seen you for ages"is "Long Time No See " Is it ridiculous?!
Love that ♥️
Hi Leila, great video. Apropos the first example i.e. “No”, if I have to decline an offer of tea at my friend’s place, what else could I colloquially say in English / American lingo (besides “I’m good”) ?
Can I use those as formal English
A very beneicial viedo.
You name is nice.
All the best for you.
I really liked "cocked it up" - it sounds pretty much like the four-letter word in this sense, and "I don't give a crap" sounds just fine as well. Just found "I don't give a flying crap" is also acceptable, or rather unacceptable, and most amazing, "I don't give a rat's behind".
Thanks a million for such an entertaining lesson. I'd better stop dilly dallying and write some of those phrases down
Great use of that expression!! 👍☺️
I love the facial expression of Leila when she was using these expression. It makes the language come to life.
Thank you ☺️👍
C'mon guys hit the thumbs up , chop chop !

Hello Leila! Hope you are doing great! I want to tell you something, maybe no one has never told you this, you are soo hilarious. You got me at 8:02🤣🤣🤣 I never heard of such thing before. I wondered how hard was it for you to hold your laugh. Probably, you are that funny that you haven't paid attention to it. I love watching your videos to see the jokes you crack. Anyway, have a good one.
Being funny is the biggest compliment you could pay me! Thank you so much and I’m so glad you enjoy our lessons! ☺️👍💕
I love you Leila. Do you recognise it that your name is an Arabic one 😀
my favourite english idioms is it's the best things since sliced bread.
‘Thing’ not ‘things, but yeah , fantastic expression!!! 👍
I get it
I know that one...its not rocket science..one of my favourites
One of mine too! 💕👍
I always wondered.......Is it England, Great Britain, or the UK?.......... hmm? Isn't she charming?......Love the accent!!!
Good job teacher, excellent class, I have learned several expressions more, but please, don't let me down, sometimes I am feeling blue because I get lost ( I don't use a translator) with your words. You slam the accelerator and I start being back and forth trying to understand, and taking up the lesson again. Good job, I can't keep with your rhythm. I am a marathon man not a sprinter like Usain Bolt. Bolt, It is funny, you don't run as Bolt does, you fly. But I need to get used to following your rhythm. It will be my challenge.
💙💙💙

Are you sure that in UK it's said "It was a piece of cake" or does another kind of stuff exist for cake?
There are lots of expressions with ‘cake’ I think Americans say ‘easy as pie’ too 👍👍👍
@@LoveEnglishUK gotcha
For seriously I heard the more rude expression "Shut up!". Definitely very colloquial and only used between friends, I guess.
I wish I could give you a hundred likes.
Just one like from you makes us happy! 👍🥰💕
Anyone help me in speaking language
You are a little bit faster. But it is fantastic Could you make it slower please?
💚💚💚
Hey Luis! How’s it going? ☺️💕

🥰😘🌹🌹🧡💕. Gonna watch the lesson now. See ya later Leila!
😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed my mistake! I was gonna edit it out but thought it funny! 👍☺️
I often use a made up expression of mine which is hold the phone pls … which makes my British friend laughs each time . ( meaning wait a sec )
Nice! The ability to be creative with a language shows you’ve really mastered the language! 💪👍☺️
@@LoveEnglishUK thank you but I am far away of having mastered British English language .. I keep plugging away learning. ☺️
Damn after a couples of hours I have realized you have made my day with your comment . Thank you.

Funny fact: In English the 'C' word is the most taboo! In French 'con!' is very used and one of the most popular, along with 'merde!' of course! Sorry, excuse my French! ;-) 😂
Or should I say maybe: Excuse my English! like you Leila! (thanks by the way! 😂)
In fact 'un con' originally designated the female pudenda and therefore the same thing as a 'c--t' but it hasn't the same vulgar or dirty connotation in French ! (For example Georges Brassens or Pierre Perret used it in many songs with that 'erotic' sense). Then it derived to mean a prick/moron/twat/idiot .... So it can be rude when you insult someone calling them un 'con' with a derogative, offensive tone. But, just like in English in certain context, a rude term can also be used as a term of 'endearment' with friends so you can call a friend 'un con!' when he says a nonsense or pulls /plays you a prank/trick/joke for example. So you would say to him: T'es con ! T'es un con ! Quel con ! .... ;-)
Hey Fabrice! How’s it going? Good start to the new year? 😊👍
I fucked up is more vulgar ,although it’s use in many tv series.🤬😂
Very true! 😂😂😂
It is in your answer to Carlos Henrique below! ;-) I promise you're gonna be shocked yourself ...:-)
You 'shamely' wrote: "You’re comments are always appreciated" Possessive YOUR! and not 'you are=you're' which here doesn't mean a thing ...
I'm sure even Francesco would fall over with a feather seeing it! 😂😂. ...Or maybe he is the one who writes the comments?! 😂😂😂
I'm kidding of course! .... ;-) I know he's brilliant. Hi to him and best wishes 2022! :-)
You spotted it?
P.S: Of course Leila don't take me too seriously. (That's the contrary of me.) Being serious without taking oneself seriously! is the deal ;-)
My love and admiration are absolutely not impaired by what one could think is an insignificant detail but ... not so much in fact (!) and I'm pretty sure that as a teacher (of the English language namely) you will totally agree with me ...
Bisous Leila! 🧡🌹
Ahhh typo! 🤪😂😱
My bad
Everything seems so obvious but... How to apply these in daily life?😩 The method is only one, practice 😄 As usual knowledge of English is enormous but using much worse 😭
:)
Teacher I have just subscrive .Please speak slowly
You can set the speed of the videos a bit slower if that helps ☺️💕
