That's perfect! My books will be helpful for learning Russian and English. I published Transliterated russian dictionary with English translation. Compound words dictionary separated by tables. All details on my channel. Red velvet and Vanilla Gelato. Exercises for an interpreter. And also two copies of these books, where Russian words have given in Cyrillic.
There’s an alternative in Mandarin for ‘it takes two to tango’: “一个巴掌拍不响”, literally meaning that one hand doesn’t slap out loud.

Homework done Elliot!🙋
1. a) One shouldn't be worrying much about life. One should take it as it comes.
1. b) Stop having nightmares about your exam. Cross the bridge when you come to it.
2. He suddenly farted aloud and I could not keep a straight face.
3. No, she is mischievous and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.
4. In the party, that guy was flirting OTT.
5. Whenever I talk to my male friends, my dad gets the wrong end of the stick.
6. Excuse my french but She is a b**ch.
7. You both stop pissing me. Not one of you started. It takes two to tango.
8. Elliot recently tied the knot and he things he's getting old.
if im not mistaken,
7) 'both of you' not 'you both' & 'none of you' not 'not one of you'
@@ahmad-us1yl I've actually heard English native speakers use "both of you" and "you both" so these are both correct.
Also no 8, at ' he *thinks '.
You must be a workaholic having done your homework so well))

"Take it as it comes" is the perfect idiom for me. I know for sure that I'll be using it a lot.
Thanks for sharing! This is really helpful, hope you stay health and safe in the UK!

Today I can say I’m good at English... thank you for your lessons you were one of my first teacher here on TH-cam 4 years ago... thanks mate I still watching your videos now day even back to home country... Brazil
The stories and incidents behind every idom were so helpful to reach the real meaning... love yu
So much fun to watch your video and I've definitely learned quite a lot about idioms! Thx!
Your videos are so amazing, they really helped me a lot improving my English..
Appreciate your efforts ❤
Congrats Elliott! It is always a real pleasure to see your face and watch your videos. I really enjoy mirroring you and imitating your accent, my English pronunciation is improving slowly but surely. I look forward to being one of your student pretty soon 🙏
Your accent is so fascinating... It's really good to Heard your voice with such a great topics you cover in English...
Thanks a lot for your videos, I enjoy every single minute, you're amazing!
This was really useful :) I have my C1 speaking exam soon so maybe I could use those idioms!
Congrats on the wedding💝 Also, nice Green Day T-shirt 😊
Congratulations for tied the knot. And I loved the anecdote about your parents. Cheers!
Congratulations on your wedding, Elliot! Enhorabuena por tu boda!! I love your accent and that's why I love watching your videos: it helps me a lot with my own pronunciation.
Very nicely done, Elliot, and I do enjoy listening to your cool British accent. I notice that you've made a point of saying that you do not use outdated expressions. However, I can tell you that here in America at any rate, every one of the idioms you discussed has been around for quite a long time. They were all used when I was a kid (in the 1950s) and used by my mom and dad much earlier. But never mind, I enjoyed listening to you, and I will look for more of your videos. And if it's not being too old fashioned, I congratulate you on "getting hitched", and all best wishes to your lovely "ball and chain".
we use in as similar phrase to "exscuse my french" in Italian too, we say "Scusa/perdona il francesismo" lol
P.S.: Congrats on the wedding :)
in russia, we use this phrase too!
ahhh certo, ciao
In Ukraine we use the phrase as well 😊
We also use it in Latin America and Spain xDD "Me disculpas el francés, pero ****..." Greetings from Vzla ^^
Really helpful and Love it !! New idioms 💖 Thank you teacher Eliot 👍👍👍 so far I've been go for english classes my teacher never thought that!!
Thank you very very much for your lessons. I am 19 yrs old from Myanmar (Burma) and I just started studying English properly last year. But with your lessons, I don't see much difficulties when I read novels that include many idioms. Cause I always write down the idioms you teach in my notebook.
Thank you so much again.
Btw I wish your family the best and have a brightest future ahead.
Stay healthy and happy 😊
Great one! Really very informative! Thanks a lot!
I enjoy the lesson. THANK YOU💕💕💕

I found the nice channel! Thank you for your class!
Thank you so much for those informative and amusing videos I have just started watching your videos and I didn’t get bored at all.
Congratulations on your wedding!! Thanks a peak for uploading the lesson btw ❤️
I go around and write things (I see and hear) down too! And as an EFL teacher and learner, I've always done it and strongly recommend it!
Happy to hear it's not a completely outdated habit (of clever people :)).
Keep up the good job, Eliot, and congrats on getting married!
I love learning idioms. Thank you so much.💗
You cannot imagine how much I enjoy while I’m watching you
You’re amazing 🤩
Congratulation, teacher, for the wedding! Everyone gets old anyway. Be happy! Been years watching your videos (cause my lecturer recommend your channel, glad for that) 🌼
Mazal tov! What great news, wishing you many joyful years together!
Hi Elliot! I loved this video so much!! Thank you ! Idioms and common expressions that are really used these days in UK are my favourite to learn ! Could you please make another video with idioms and phrasal verbs if you like, please?
So, you are married now !!my God ! congratulatios ! I hope you guys are very happy for ever !!
Thanks again for the idioms !! Looking forward to your next video !! Best wishes ,
Lily
Most probably the first video ever of this kind to watch without skipping.. congrats.. 👍💐
Hi! Im Korean who stayed in England for 4 years when I was attending middle school! I love UK, England, Prem league, British accent. But Im not perfect in speaking in UK accent :( . So happy to have found your channel, and will follow your video and learn, to improve my British accent!!
So happy for you both, I wish you two all the best in the world 💕💕
Really interesting information. Thank you very much.
Every time I see this guy on my homepage, I feel like I don't remember why, but I must watch this. I don't even remember what's so special about him, seems like something common. And then I turn it on, hear him speaking, and understand why I thought I had to. These speeches sound so intelligent, so sexy, spectacular. I think there should be a term for it, kind of BSMR British sensory meridian response.
U make my English fluent each day cause I learn new things from u .And congrats for being married best wishes from Zambia my country
Congratulations!!! You look so happy! Glad for you!
The BEST and most wonderful teacher ever!
Thanks a lot for your interesting lesson! That was very educational!
I love that section of IDIOMS, SLANGS and EXPRESSIONS! Regards from Spain! :)
Thanks for the lesson. I am from Sri Lanka. One of the main reasons why we cannot understand native speakers is our lack of proper understanding of idiomatic phrases or slang often used by natives. By watching lessons like these we are able to understand much of what they say..
I find it your videos are the most interesting things on TH-cam THANKS for helping me
love this channel!!
man, you're amazing! Thank for your videos. 🇧🇷
Thanks for this!!! Please do more videos ... I really love your videos, it makes me feel special... I don't know why I really want to learn british this time, it's very interesting for me😭👸🇵🇭

Wahh congratulations Elliot! I'm so happy for you!!
You are a great teacher,thanks a lot!!!
Please make a video on house furniture, Elliott!! I struggle with that one!😅
Wonderful examples and I absolutely like your British accent!
i like the bonds you did between the phrases and expressions, you must have made a lot of efforts because of making up the stories and also had to use the modern ones. absoultely a rocket science
so glad I browse through the web, and your video up on my suggestion list. you really got my attention and subscribe immediately.....I will stay on your channel.

That's perfect! My books will be helpful for learning Russian and English. I published Transliterated russian dictionary with English translation. Compound words dictionary separated by tables. All details on my channel. Red velvet and Vanilla Gelato. Exercises for an interpreter. And also two copies of these books, where Russian words have given in Cyrillic.
