Sooo I had another couple of lessons with Lingoda recently and LOVED IT! I am so happy to have them as the sponsor of my video - I think the Sprint is such a great opportunity. Here is the link to sign up: bit.ly/TheLanguageSprintLucy - use my code JOIN12 for €10 off your deposit.
Hey Lucy ...... How are you??? I am your student from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩 you can search about Bangladesh in the Google please come to our country and if you wanna come than reply me... It's srabon....... You looks great 😘😘😘😘😘Don't worry I am a girl who read in 10th standard...... ........ 😊😊😚😚😚😚🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😀😀😀
I don't want to beat around the bush. But i am sure i am not barking up the wrong tree. To make a long story short, i just want to thank you, Lucy. In a nutshell, your teaching keeps me on the ball. To get it out of my system, this comment is better late than never, even though a compliment like this must be a drop in the ocean.
more idioms 1. Rejection is protection 2. Out of site, out of mind 3. Get your act together 4. Grinds my gears 5. A match made in heaven Thank you for this video it really helped me! Your a great teacher :)
Quarantine is a true blessing in disguise, I've learned so much during these times, looks like every cloud has a silver lining. I finally bit the bullet and expressed my true feelings to him. This new hobby of mine cost me an arm and a leg. I've tried giving him the cold shoulder, but I just can't resist his charm. Now I'm going to hit the sack, because it's already three in the morning in my neck of the woods. This lesson was marvelous Lucy, you make preparing for CAE so much easier!💕
I was feeling a bit under the weather today, then I came across this video. It made my day. The idioms hit the nail on the head with respect to the most common ones used and provide great learning, and the examples were entertaining too - killing two birds with one stone I’d say. And I still can’t wrap my head around how she managed to present 100 idioms so succinctly! In a nutshell, she hits the ball out of the park with this one!
I appreciate your kindness Lucy for teaching me these 100 most common idioms in English. Your every English lesson is so important to learn Lucy by your nice teaching, word pronunciation and word definition
As a native english speaker, your video may have been preaching to the choir, but i’m glad to fill the cracks in my vocabulary because knowledge is power… Rest assured you weren’t beating a dead horse!
51.

This is why I am Slow Learner... I took me about month to go through this garden, smell it and try to remember. However, it can only recognize all them, but not remember. Hopefully, it will come. Slow and steady wins the race. It's practical selection. Thank you, Lucy!
Off the hook > no longer in difficulty, free (I'd use 'get away with' to mean 'go unpunished') To twist someone's arm > force or pressurise someone into doing something they do not want to to (it's much stronger than just convince) Don't get me wrong, your work is brilliant. I myself checked the meaning of those two idioms before commenting as I wasn't entirely convinced by your explanation. Good job, I'm sure this video has helped a lot of students! Keep up the good work!
I dislike this video, because there are too many mistakes for English teacher. It was informative and helpful for sure, but she should revise the video and the text before uploading it.
@@girl_from_lydia hum it's weird when you said too many mistake . She is English teacher and she is English and you said she has done big mistake. I hope Lucy read your comments .
@@pacificoceania5828, it's not one big mistake, but some little mistakes - for example 53rd idiom - there is a sentence from previous slide, or there were "the" two times etc. I've already wrote such comment under one of her previous video, but there is no effect.
Learning English is not a rocket science, it is a piece of cake. I always tell myself that no pain no gain and I have to brush up on my learning. It is good to hang in there and to keep your chin up most of the times. When I learn a foreign language I can get the best of both worlds as I have fun and learn about another culture. It is okay to make mistakes considering that you live and learn. Thank you so much MZ Lucy for your great efforts and your amazing presentation. I am so grateful for having you as my teacher that is my pleasure ❤❤❤❤
English with Lucy series are one of the finest, high quality and well shot videos available on TH-cam. Stay Successful Lucy, you are doing a great job !

I've been researching some likey about this stuff but I'm not going to beat around the bush, you just hit the nail on head. Though others you've mentioned rings a bell, you're explanation and examples made it a piece of cake to understand. I'm not sure if my grammar is okay but I live and I learn. So thank you very much
I appreciate that you included some common idioms in your video. It's helpful to learn these expressions, especially if you want to speak English more fluently and naturally.
Thank you very much Lucy for sharing. honestly i hate reading and while reading something i'm feeling sleepy. Your videos have really helped me to improve my English. I hope i didn't write something wrong. omg still hesitating
Your action is as beautiful as you are and your voice is as clear as your beautiful looks and your teaching is beyond praise. Worth listening and looking!
Hi Mom, 80% I learned from other classes from different teachers and it is very useful. Even though I wrote it for repetition.Because regular repetition make it through. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Lucy! You've just given me a good brush up on idioms popularly used in South Africa. Please kindly explain and give an example to this idiom "beauty is a cruel mistress"
Greetings from Germany... In a few hours I'm going to attend the oral English exam and idioms always make a great impression. So thanks for the video ❤️

Great job! 100 idioms in a video! Thanks! I have also started teaching English on TH-cam recently. Would be glad if you guys have a look and let me know what you think. It means a lot to me.
Hey Lucy, Love from India! I have been watching your videos since January, 2020. I didn't have a good command of English initially but i do now. All thanks to you💙 I absolutely nailed my English examination. Again, I truly appreciate your efforts. 😊
Thank you for making the English language so easy to learn and even mastering the British accent which some think is a bit difficult... I'm following you from Turkey and I'm so glad I discovered your channel by chance .. so thanks a bunch dear
Hi Lucy, big thanks from Taiwan. I'm working on being an interpreter (English-Chinese), this video is really helpful for picking up useful idioms. Much appreciated ❤
You're the best English teacher I have met. Thank you very much for making this video. I've learned so many useful idioms from your video. Much appreciated.
My English has became fluent long ago, but I'm still finding an incredibly useful information at this channel in a huge quantity. Thanks for your work, Lucy ;-)
Thank you. I enjoyed this. Here is one with which I hope you can help me. It is written, "Parsifal and [I don't remember the name] slept eye to eye, nose to nose, knees to knees, and toes to toes." Eye to eye usually means in agreement, no? Nose to nose usually means confrontation, no? Toe to toe usually means confrontation or competition, no? Knees to knees? What do you think? Thanks for the videos.
Super useful video. I've learned a lot. I love "it takes one to know one", because it's a sharp way to reply, and I think there's nothing you can reply back.
Thank you Lucy, this one is my favourite and I must say I can hear these idioms now, when people speak, and I'm pleased that I actually understand what they mean 😄👌
Hi Lucy! Congratulations on this video, it is still one of my favourites 3 years later! I wonder if you could still answer some questions about it, even though it was posted so long ago. - Easy question first: Would "getting sth off my chest" be equivalent to 24. "getting sth out of my system"? - Now a harder one: How would "a blessing in disguise" be different from "every cloud has a silver lining"? Could they refer to the same situation, i.e. sth negative that ended up having a bright side? Huge thanks in advance! 🍉😇
Teacher Lucy , I have watched the whole video , And I can confidently confess that your teaching method is the best thing since sliced bread , I can break a leg to my learning journey since today Because I have found your youtube channel , I felt a little bit under the weather when I used to learn english by depending on other materials becuase unfortunately they were not my cup of tea , But now , I can believe that every cloud has a silver linibg indeed Because I have watched your videos ..
There's a couple of idioms that express a totality of any item or experience that both come from the British during WWII. The first is "head, ass, and gas mask." An example is, "I was totally involved, head, ass, and gas mask." The second one derives from a bomber machine gunner that empties his string of bullets that is about 27 feet long, simply stated, 'the whole nine yards." The example is, "I used up the whole nine yards." Loove your stuff...Dr. Rick Olsen
Me: Before watching Lucy's videos ''English is rocket science! '' After watching her videos ''English is a piece of cake!!'' My mom: ''But don't give up your day job! '' But I think her heart is in the right place. I'm gonna hit the sack because now it is 1:39AM in my country.
I woke up feeling under the weather but for the record ,I really appreciate you lucy ,and i have to bite the bulletin so that I can learn all you lessons cause no such thing as a free lunch , i have a lot of work to do but the ball is in my court.
31:03 instead of plenty more fish in the sea with this example, we say in Germany “other fathers have beautiful daughters, too/ other mums have beautiful sons, too”. We are way more direct, but both funny expressions mean the same thing
In Spanish we have a similar expression to "Better late than never" 5:11 "Más vale tarde que nunca" but we use it more commonly to persuade someone to drive slowly, and not so fast that they might have a car accident and die because of it.
Dear Lucy, your video is very informative. I was looking for something like this to improve my communication in English. This felt exactly what I was looking for...Thankuu
I live in the 🇺🇸 and also lived in 🇨🇦 for five years. I have heard of all of these and was astounded at how many I actually use. I really enjoyed this video. Merci 🙂 (I had never heard "to take the mickey", though.)
"As cheap as chips" has an American equivalent as in "A dime a dozen", in case your students ever see or hear that one. The only difference is that it also means "commonly found". I know I haven't experienced every community in the UK, but I haven't heard many English people say some of these, especially "jump on the bandwagon". I honestly thought "neck of the woods" was an American only expression, until now. Lovely video! :)
1.A blessing in disguise-a good thing that seems bad at first 2.a picture is worth a thousand words 3.a piece of cake-easy 4.Action speak louder than words 5.Add insult to injury-worsen 6.As chip as chips 7.barking up the wrong tree 8.beat a round the bush 9.better late than never
I am a international student in Japan managing to get admission for university, and I think I made a mistake that I put all my eggs in one basket and I failed. But every cloud has a silver cloud, I still have chances. Though I am on thin ice now I have to keep my chin up and pull myself together to face the next test. And I really like "We will cross that bridge when we come to it". Tom Cruise said a similar sentence in Mission Impossible 6.
3:59 We use it a lot in our language. I'm happy to know it in english (at first, i didn't understand it; but then, i understood it well!) Thank you!! ^^
Though I’ve made my comment lately, I’m completely certain that I’ll be able to continue my endless journey at learning English. By the way, I have been learning English for about 13 years. In addition, I believe that learning the idoimatic expressions will definitely improve my personality in spite of my realistic nationality. THX!
Very comprehensive lesson, thanks, I hardly knew half of them. It's funny to notice how some idioms are word for word the same in French, i.e : - To break the ice = Briser la glace - To put all the eggs in the same basket = Mettre tous ses œufs dans le même panier - It's not my cup of tea = Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé Some are only slightly different, i.e : - It costs an arm and a leg = Ca coûte un bras (it costs an arm) - To jump on the bandwagon = Prendre le train en marche (to take the train on the move) Some have the same meaning with a different expression, i.e : - To beat around the bush = Touner autour du pot (turn around the pot) - To bite off more the you can chew = Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre (to have your eyes bigger than your belly) - To give someone a cold shoulder = Battre froid quelqu'un (beat someone cold) - It's not rocket science = Ce n'est pas sorcier (it's not a sorcer's matter) - To let the cat out of the bag = Vendre la mèche (to sell the wick) - Once in a blue moon = Tous les 36 du mois (every 36th of the month) Some don't have any direct equivalent, i.e : - Barking up the wrong tree - Get a taste of your own medicine
This is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen! If you did a similar video with the 100 most common phrasal verbs, it would be amazing! Thank you a lot for this channel, it is really good
It was extremely hilarious that in Philippines, a popular celebrity once said on national TV "Don't judge my brother. He is not a book." She actually was thinking of the idiom "dont judge a book by it's cover" but somehow she couldn't remember it right. But because of that blunder, she became the talk of the town in a positive way. 😃
Hmm... you may be right - that person forgot the right idiom; OR that person was joking - many people here could twist some words / phrases / idioms to make people laugh. They do that quite often here. So, I’m interested to know who that celebrity was. Cheers.
@@ms.annieguab5425 that was a popular joke in the Philippines same as 'laughter is the best policy' or 'honesty is the best medicine' something like that. I think that guy do not appreciate sense of humor sometimes.😁
16. to cut corners 17. to cut somebody some slack 18. don't give up your day job 21. every cloud has a silver lining 26. to give someone the benefit 28. to go back to the drawing board 32. to hit the sack 35. it takes one to know one 37. to jump on the bandwagon 38. to keep one's chin up 42. to let someone off the hook 53. out of someone's league 54. to play devil's advocate 58. to rain on someone's parade 59. to rock the boat 63. to sit on the fence 75. to steal someone's thunder 76. to stick to one's gun 77. to take something with a pinch/grain of salt
As a native English speaker, I didn't realize all the idioms I use. i have used every one of these at one time or another and instinctively understood what they meant.
Five sentences😲? My jaw dropped, It isn't my cup of tea. Anyway, I gonna bite the bullet and do it.😠 So far so good.And I did it! This homework was a piece of cake. Even more - a blessing in disguise, actually. I'll save this video for a rainy day. Thanks, Lucy!😊
Your facial expressions are immensely charming and adorable. That's why I am always hooked on all of your videos. LOVE U SO MUCH LUCY. BTW this video is super useful for me to upgrade my E level...:)))
Thanks for this helpful video. 1. I am glad that I did some savings for the which helped me in the emergency situation. 2. In the cricket league the home team is doing and consistently winning the matches. 3. For me, achieving good score in college was . 4. You can not confide someone with personal information or secret who can easily . 5. I always needs to give feedback to my colleague to and don't get influenced by anyone.
Thank you Lucy, there were a few idioms that I've never heard of at all but there're 12 idioms (yes, I noted down lol) that I've heard but I was never sure the meaning of them, so today I learnt a lot. Thank you so much.
Hello Lucy. This is the first time I comment on your videos. I have been watching your videos for like 2 years and I really have to say that your'e brilliant. Thank you so much for your efforts cuz u really make English very interesting and easy. I've learnt so much from you. Keep up the hard work. Wish you all best ^^ Greetings from Egypt :D
this is actually a pretty good video and its definitely good to know a lot of idioms especially for foreign speakers, but i mostly only hear older people or people in movies say a lot of these. younger people find it more cliché and obviously use more slang than idioms
It's an excellent, amazing combination, Lucy, performed in attractive manner; like everything you've ever performed. Some of the idioms I've knew (mainly thanks to you), but most of them were unknown. Well, I am a Slow Learner. Thank you!
Hello Lucy :) Thanks for the lesson :) I am glad to already know many of them. When I was in London, my teacher would call me the master of the idiom :) I really love using them in the daily conversations. Of course, I've learned many useful ones. Thanks a lot again. Have a nice day :)

@@Ratimira_Simundic hell yes
It is "out of SIGHT," not SITE, which refers to a place location, like building site.

I had over three thousand idioms in three volumes ,still collected over three hundred, yet I learned a lot. I am indebted to you Lucy. Thank you.
You're the best English teacher I have met. Thank you very much for making this video. I've learned so many useful idioms from your video. Much appreciated.

Thank you. I enjoyed this.
Here is one with which I hope you can help me. It is written, "Parsifal and [I don't remember the name] slept eye to eye, nose to nose, knees to knees, and toes to toes."
Eye to eye usually means in agreement, no?
Nose to nose usually means confrontation, no?
Toe to toe usually means confrontation or competition, no?
Knees to knees? What do you think?
Thanks for the videos.

I AM DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THESE LESSONS 🥺✨
Hi Lucy! Congratulations on this video, it is still one of my favourites 3 years later! I wonder if you could still answer some questions about it, even though it was posted so long ago.
- Easy question first: Would "getting sth off my chest" be equivalent to 24. "getting sth out of my system"?
- Now a harder one: How would "a blessing in disguise" be different from "every cloud has a silver lining"? Could they refer to the same situation, i.e. sth negative that ended up having a bright side?
Huge thanks in advance! 🍉😇
Teacher Lucy , I have watched the whole video , And I can confidently confess that your teaching method is the best thing since sliced bread , I can break a leg to my learning journey since today Because I have found your youtube channel , I felt a little bit under the weather when I used to learn english by depending on other materials becuase unfortunately they were not my cup of tea , But now , I can believe that every cloud has a silver linibg indeed Because I have watched your videos ..
thank you so much for your dedication on getting my head around absorbing English idioms
There's a couple of idioms that express a totality of any item or experience that both come from the British during WWII. The first is "head, ass, and gas mask." An example is, "I was totally involved, head, ass, and gas mask." The second one derives from a bomber machine gunner that empties his string of bullets that is about 27 feet long, simply stated, 'the whole nine yards." The example is, "I used up the whole nine yards." Loove your stuff...Dr. Rick Olsen
It is so nice ,and helpful for you todo this for people.May God continue to bless you

Hello Lucy,
Congratulations on your perfect English Accent and the exceptionally clear way you explain correct English.
All the best
Sarah
I admire your passion for English language. You are a fabulous teacher. Remarkable
Me:
Before watching Lucy's videos ''English is rocket science! ''
After watching her videos
''English is a piece of cake!!''
My mom:
''But don't give up your day job! ''
But I think her heart is in the right place.
I'm gonna hit the sack because now it is 1:39AM in my country.
Amazing and creative alike
I need to shit
Keep up the good work
Great job👌
U are dope🤣
This beautiful teacher made me get more 'energy' to learning English

31:03 instead of plenty more fish in the sea with this example, we say in Germany “other fathers have beautiful daughters, too/ other mums have beautiful sons, too”. We are way more direct, but both funny expressions mean the same thing
Wie sagt man das auf Deutsch? Ich habe es nie gehört. Danke
@@Ratimira_Simundic Andere Mütter haben auch schöne Söhne/ Andere Väter haben auch schöne Töchter.
Awesome
In Spanish we have a similar expression to "Better late than never" 5:11 "Más vale tarde que nunca" but we use it more commonly to persuade someone to drive slowly, and not so fast that they might have a car accident and die because of it.
'Κάλλιο αργά παρά ποτέ' is the corresponding Greek proverb, but it actually has the same meaning as the English phrase
Dear Lucy, your video is very informative. I was looking for something like this to improve my communication in English. This felt exactly what I was looking for...Thankuu
I live in the 🇺🇸 and also lived in 🇨🇦 for five years. I have heard of all of these and was astounded at how many I actually use. I really enjoyed this video. Merci 🙂
(I had never heard "to take the mickey", though.)
That’s likely because Americans don’t “take the mickey.”
Thanks Lucy . Even 4 yrs have passes and ur still amazing .❤
Okay guys, two things! Firstly, Lucy’s mum seems to be an amazing human being and secondly, “spork” is definitely the best invention ever!
Thank you. Very good brief infornation on idioms
"As cheap as chips" has an American equivalent as in "A dime a dozen", in case your students ever see or hear that one. The only difference is that it also means "commonly found". I know I haven't experienced every community in the UK, but I haven't heard many English people say some of these, especially "jump on the bandwagon". I honestly thought "neck of the woods" was an American only expression, until now. Lovely video! :)
This may be because a lot of these idioms are used by the older generation.
1.A blessing in disguise-a good thing that seems bad at first
2.a picture is worth a thousand words
3.a piece of cake-easy
4.Action speak louder than words
5.Add insult to injury-worsen
6.As chip as chips
7.barking up the wrong tree
8.beat a round the bush
9.better late than never
Thank you very much for giving lucid explanation of 100 Most Common Idioms in English.Keep it up.
Fanatic teaching lucy thankyou for English
I am a international student in Japan managing to get admission for university, and I think I made a mistake that I put all my eggs in one basket and I failed. But every cloud has a silver cloud, I still have chances. Though I am on thin ice now I have to keep my chin up and pull myself together to face the next test. And I really like "We will cross that bridge when we come to it". Tom Cruise said a similar sentence in Mission Impossible 6.
Great!!
Right on, mate! We can only hope you "put your best foot forward!"
3:59 We use it a lot in our language. I'm happy to know it in english (at first, i didn't understand it; but then, i understood it well!) Thank you!! ^^
Though I’ve made my comment lately, I’m completely certain that I’ll be able to continue my endless journey at learning English. By the way, I have been learning English for about 13 years. In addition, I believe that learning the idoimatic expressions will definitely improve my personality in spite of my realistic nationality. THX!
no pain no gain.
Thnks lucy! This video is really helpful.Learning British English is my pride and joy! ❤️I
Great efforts Lucy! I watched it on 1.5x before exam.
Very comprehensive lesson, thanks, I hardly knew half of them.
It's funny to notice how some idioms are word for word the same in French, i.e :
- To break the ice = Briser la glace
- To put all the eggs in the same basket = Mettre tous ses œufs dans le même panier
- It's not my cup of tea = Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé
Some are only slightly different, i.e :
- It costs an arm and a leg = Ca coûte un bras (it costs an arm)
- To jump on the bandwagon = Prendre le train en marche (to take the train on the move)
Some have the same meaning with a different expression, i.e :
- To beat around the bush = Touner autour du pot (turn around the pot)
- To bite off more the you can chew = Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre (to have your eyes bigger than your belly)
- To give someone a cold shoulder = Battre froid quelqu'un (beat someone cold)
- It's not rocket science = Ce n'est pas sorcier (it's not a sorcer's matter)
- To let the cat out of the bag = Vendre la mèche (to sell the wick)
- Once in a blue moon = Tous les 36 du mois (every 36th of the month)
Some don't have any direct equivalent, i.e :
- Barking up the wrong tree
- Get a taste of your own medicine
This is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen! If you did a similar video with the 100 most common phrasal verbs, it would be amazing! Thank you a lot for this channel, it is really good
Si, amigo, si!
I really brushed up on my idioms with this one. Thank you Lucy!
I just get really learning English here.. Thanks Lucy you inspired me so well
Nice! As an American, there were only 2 that were new to me! I had no idea that we shared so many idioms. Very instructive! Thanks.
It was extremely hilarious that in Philippines, a popular celebrity once said on national TV "Don't judge my brother. He is not a book." She actually was thinking of the idiom "dont judge a book by it's cover" but somehow she couldn't remember it right. But because of that blunder, she became the talk of the town in a positive way. 😃
Hmm... you may be right - that person forgot the right idiom; OR that person was joking - many people here could twist some words / phrases / idioms to make people laugh. They do that quite often here. So, I’m interested to know who that celebrity was. Cheers.
@@ms.annieguab5425 that was a popular joke in the Philippines same as 'laughter is the best policy' or 'honesty is the best medicine' something like that.
I think that guy do not appreciate sense of humor sometimes.😁
Don't put all your Idioms in one basket otherwise the early bird will come home to roost, then the poop will really hit the fan
16. to cut corners
17. to cut somebody some slack
18. don't give up your day job
21. every cloud has a silver lining
26. to give someone the benefit
28. to go back to the drawing board
32. to hit the sack
35. it takes one to know one
37. to jump on the bandwagon
38. to keep one's chin up
42. to let someone off the hook
53. out of someone's league
54. to play devil's advocate
58. to rain on someone's parade
59. to rock the boat
63. to sit on the fence
75. to steal someone's thunder
76. to stick to one's gun
77. to take something with a pinch/grain of salt
I am not sure how many of those can keep in my mind in short while, I’ll try my best for it!
You'll recall most but likely only use a few
As a native English speaker, I didn't realize all the idioms I use. i have used every one of these at one time or another and instinctively understood what they meant.
Well done, Lucy that helps me speaking skills and build the confidence to succeed the good speaking with English.
Five sentences😲? My jaw dropped, It isn't my cup of tea.
Anyway, I gonna bite the bullet and do it.😠
So far so good.And I did it! This homework was a piece of cake. Even more - a blessing in disguise, actually. I'll save this video for a rainy day. Thanks, Lucy!😊
You're a genius
@@miss_pauline ha! I like your hilarity)
your sentence structure is great, keep practicing. You live and you learn, Joe give cold shoulder to your haters, break a leg.
I watch this video at least once a week. Thank you, Lucy!
Your facial expressions are immensely charming and adorable. That's why I am always hooked on all of your videos. LOVE U SO MUCH LUCY. BTW this video is super useful for me to upgrade my E level...:)))

Thank you Lucy, there were a few idioms that I've never heard of at all but there're 12 idioms (yes, I noted down lol) that I've heard but I was never sure the meaning of them, so today I learnt a lot. Thank you so much.
Hello Lucy. This is the first time I comment on your videos. I have been watching your videos for like 2 years and I really have to say that your'e brilliant. Thank you so much for your efforts cuz u really make English very interesting and easy. I've learnt so much from you. Keep up the hard work. Wish you all best ^^
Greetings from Egypt :D
this is actually a pretty good video and its definitely good to know a lot of idioms especially for foreign speakers, but i mostly only hear older people or people in movies say a lot of these. younger people find it more cliché and obviously use more slang than idioms
Older people (over 30)is more sophisticated while the younger generation is still learning. Language itself is an art/craft.
this one is so useful, I repeat playing to memorize everyday
Video is quite long but helpful ✌🏽 I've learned a lot
Thank you so much
Thank you gorgeous teacher....
It's an excellent, amazing combination, Lucy, performed in attractive manner; like everything you've ever performed. Some of the idioms I've knew (mainly thanks to you), but most of them were unknown. Well, I am a Slow Learner. Thank you!
Hello Lucy :) Thanks for the lesson :) I am glad to already know many of them. When I was in London, my teacher would call me the master of the idiom :) I really love using them in the daily conversations. Of course, I've learned many useful ones. Thanks a lot again. Have a nice day :)
She is so sweet and her pronunciation is also like her❤❤💜💜💗💗💝💝
Learning English with Lucy is like a piece of cake
