Hi Vicki Hi Jay nice to see you Your videos are very important and helpful to me Thanks a lot for your support Have a great weekend my teachers 😉🇧🇷 take care
You're always a pleasure to watch 😍 Italians also use the expression "white lie" in that sense - I am a fan, to avoid hurting others' feelings 🙂 Thank God your diet hasn't affected your cheerful mood 🤗
I wish to have found your videos long time a go. I wasted my time in meny disadvantage videos. Keep going forwards in my opinion your videos are enjoyble, funny and easy to understand with mixed Lovely British accent and gorgeous Amiracn accent.🙏🙏🇸🇪
Something Evil inside is telling me "ahahahaha, of course, you will..." whenever I say "I'll watch only one episode..." Or "...I'll have only one chips". Hi Vicki and Jay! Those are the great examples of kidding ourselves! To be honest I'm also trying to count the calories, but it's really difficult. I'm literally eating the last pieces of chocolates at my home while watching your video :D I hope I won't eat sweets in near two months. I decided "no sweets at home=less chances to eat them" :D. Thank you for bringing the smile back on my face once again! Have a wonderful weekend!
Roman Kril I wish I had enough self discipline to try that 😂 I can't control myself around sweets, especially chocolate. I'm not worried about my weight, but junk food isn't good for me either.
Hi Roman. This is Jay writing back to you. We've been on a behavioral change diet plan called NOOM. It''s an app on our phones and we record the calories of everything we eat. My limit is 1400 calories per day and Vicki's is 1200 calories. It has been VERY successful. As of this moment, I've lost 23 pounds (10.4 kilos) since the middle of July.
I didn't expect that your videos will be funny and amazing like this🌼💙.. keep up the good work ❤️ i came here according to my favourite teacher's recommendation RACHEL'S ENGLISH ❤️💙🌼💙🌼👊❤️😍
Here in Japan, we have a word "uso", which includes the sense of lie, fib, and kid. We say "Uso!" when we see or are told something unbelievable or unhappy; it's like "Are you kidding me?"
Hi Monica. We are continuing to produce videos for the Simple English Videos channel, so stay tuned. We'll soon publish a new video about how to say you're sorry in English. I wanted to mention that we are starting a new live course with Tom. It focuses on improving your English speaking skills. It's a 5 hour course, spread out over every Monday morning in April, starting April 1. The total for all 5 sessions is only 74.95 Euros. If you think you need to improve your speaking skills, get started by clicking this link. www.simpleenglishvideos.com/assessment-form/. And thanks for watching our videos. - Jay
Anna, that's just a lie. A white lie would be if the teacher asked the student if homework assignments were fun, and the student said he or she enjoyed them :-)
What does it mean "...sifting a hundred lies..."? We are listening to audio now "The Parasite" by Arthur Conan Doyle. Would you mind to explain This expression? Thanks again.
Hi Natalya. Sifting is the process of separating large bits from small bits. We sift grain in a sieve to separate the smaller bits of wheat from the larger chaff. We eat the wheat, but throw out the rough parts or chaff. In the Sherlock Holmes story, they are sifting facts from lies. While it's a mental process rather than a physical process in Sherlock's case, the result is the same. They get to throw out the useless information and keep only the important information. I hope that helps. Be well and be safe.
Hey!Burgundy color wine is so tasty and useful in autumn.2:46 We're very lucky to meet you again. Dear Jay dear Vicky we love you so much.Have a fantastic weekend. Your friends from Moscow (my family and me).🇷🇺
Thanks so much my teachers ! I love your videos and learning from you. And I will share an example with you about “the white lie” The prophet Mohamed said that we haven’t lie never , who lies can do anything devil , **but There is “ two white lies is allowed “ to tell your wife good things she doesn’t have , or to repaire people relationship “ like telling someone that the other one spoke good about him behind his back .
I am unable to tell lies and even the fibs impossible for me thankfully I'm really good at changing the topic before hurting someone me included btw I like the videos about people struggling to pronounce weird hard and unusual words the most
Димитър Дзимбов, you are to be commended for not telling lies, but it sometimes comes in useful to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Also, we enjoy the videos about difficult English words too, but we won't be able to make more of them until the pandemic is over. Be well and be safe.
Hi Mahmoud. We have such a wide variety of viewers with many different levels of English, so we have to work at a level that most of our viewers can understand. Keep watching our videos and you're ability to understand will improve.
I.A.Krylov (Russian poet) Beast e p i c "The crow and the fox". Bright example to this tutorial. 0:33 The Fox was lying through her teeth there. The crowm with some cheese in his beast landed on a branch.The fox asked him to sing a song.The crown opened his beast.The cunning fox was praising him.The cheese fell from crown's mouth onto the ground.The fox took it in her mouth and ran away.Huh!
I know this fable. However, I was told there are a fable in French that are a bit similar to this. Vicky and Jay, do you have the poem with the similar plot in English or American literature? it's just interesting.
@@HelloWorld-z1h Yeah, we also are informed by schottish writer and artist about simular plot.We shall write you about this new history a little bit later. Where're you from?
That's a really good suggestion, Chan Eden. We'll put it on the list. This is Jay writing back to you. I often find that my British friends tend to use tag questions in normal conversation a lot more than Americans. We'll put it on the list for future videos.
"If I didn't care" (1934) This is the song. There are "lie" words in this funny song.Here they are: Somebody lied Lied when they said I don't cry. And I cry, When you say " Goodbye, goodbye".
Hey guys! I don't usually tell lies, I'm pretty bad at it. If I lie, I get anxious and it gets complicated... I always think I can get caught, so I prefer to say the truth or not say anything at all 😂 Are you guys good liars?
Hi Lukasz. When someone is caught flat footed, it usually means they aren't ready to do something they should be ready for. So it's not the same as being caught red handed. A good example might be when a politician is asked a question he or she should easily be able to answer but cannot. That politician was caught flat footed. The expression comes from sports. An athlete should be on his or her toes ready to move instantly, but if they fail to move when necessary, they have been caught flat footed.
I know that Vicki once told us, that she used to live in Japan and even learned Japanese. Do you think that English or Japanese is easier for a European to learn?
I am american (unfortunately) and I can tell you that English is probably easier to learn for most Europeans. English has a lot of latin and greek root words and there are many similar words in English to other European languages. Japanese has no connections to Latin or greek and their writing is completely different. The only thing about Japanese that is easier is the pronounciation.
It is necessary to obliterate and extirpate the entire Scandinavian-Germanic words from the American English language; unfortunately, they are similar to expletive and crude words! Similar to hu******; s***; f***; nah**, piz****, eb**** and so on.
@@SimpleEnglishVideos Sir, Senior, probably, but unfortunately, these words are similar to the Russian, American, or Spanish-lingual obscene languages...

In Portuguese we have a similar expression for “to catch someone red-handed”, it is something like “to be caught with mouth on bottle”.
mas me parece que não temos sinônimo para a expressão White lie, pelo menos não me lembro
