@@Speakconfidentenglish Annemarie I'm from a small town called Shillong in North East India.. I'm always excited to watch your videos and upgrade my English vocabulary.. Idioms has always been one of my favourites.. thanks..
Hi Annemarie! Two of my clients mentioned you recently- both said you have a really helpful channel, and I agree:) Great video, and great work! All the best!!
Let's review: 1:22 - 1. get cold feet; 3:16 - 2. get something off your chest; 4:03 - 3. have a chip on someone's shoulder; 5:22 - 4. pull someone's leg; 6:19 - 5. let down your hair; 7:08 - 6. a pain in the neck; 8:09 - 7. get out of someone's hair; 9:04 - 8. rub elbows with somebody;
It is a good idea to tell us first a situation with the idiom is used and give us a chance to figure out its meaning. Some teachers ask students to chose once correct answer out of three, which is much easier and not that interesting.
Hii I'm from Kosovo, since August I start every morning by listening a new video from your channel. Thank you so much for the video, they are so helpful for me. And of course thank you for your positive vibe bringing to us from your video. 🙂
Great video, so helpful! Thanks! 👍☺️👌I 've never had cold feet in my life so far because usually I think about an action so thoroughly, I almost torture myself 🤔and I got it off my chest when I told my friend that I liked her brother 🙄
Hi am Sarah, from the Land of diversity -india. I love all your lessons. There's a lot of takeaway. You explain and speak so very well. That's what I like the most. I am always so eager to watch and listen to your topics. I think I have made the right thing by subscribing your channel. Thank you. God bless you. 😁😊
Annemarie, I worked as an Executive Secretary in a big company for 23 years so I could see myself in almost examples you used here. Oh, my Gosh!, I think you did it for me. LOL. Well, today I am not there anymore and I can say I am letting down my hair and I don't have a chip on my shoulder anymore neither those people that are a pain in the neck. I apologize to my colleagues of the profession but to be an executive secretary is demanding. I don't want it anymore. Thanks for all!
I have been preparing for the interview for about 2 weeks but just before the event I 've got really cold feet. My colleague was very nervous to inform me that our company is going to be sold but she needed to tell that and get it out of her chest.
Hi Annemarie, I got cold feet when I was appointed as an Assistant Professor in a University in a state quite far away from my native place. If I have to tell my friend something, which I have been postponing for some time, I would tell her "I have to get something off my chest".
Situation 1: I've worked from home since March due to covid-19 and this let me getting cold fit a little bit. I am already get used to it. Situation 2: what I have to tell you maybe will be a pain in the neck but it's worthwhile you know about it. Situation 3: I would tell them to let down their hair
Hi Annemarie, I usually go through your videos and look over the notes I take. recently, I´ve come across the idiom"to get something off one´s chest". could I use the idiom " pour my heart out to you" similarly? since both idioms refer to sharing my annoying feelings or upsetting thoughts ? thanks
Thank you for the question. It's a very thoughtful one. These idioms aren't exactly the same. To get something off one's chest suggests that someone is angry, annoyed, or frustrated and has been holding in that negative feelings. After doing so for a length of time, they need to finally share those negative emotions. To pour one's heart out is more about sharing deep, personal feelings at length.
thank you for this video day after day i learn somthing new and I try to use it and keep it in my mind . I think I get cold feet to have a live with you yet lol !!!!!
Once I had this girlfriend and as we've been together for some time and got along, we decided to get engaged. Here in Brazil, things are like this: if you're going to do that you've got to have a good engagement ring to show to her parents by the time of the engagement event (reunion, meeting, party, or something like that). Guess what? During my entire childhood and part adolescence, I was a stutter. Everybody knows that in situations like this you should be or even play like you are confident. So, having cold feet was as natural as a child having a sweet tooth, and to add insult to injury her father wasn't my biggest fan. Well, to make a long story short, I faced the music and things couldn't be better. What a relief!
Hi, Anne Marie Here in Brazil the expression "cold foot" means that someone gives or brings bad luck. For example: Imagine that a group of friends is watching a football game and the favorite team is winning ,. Suddenly another person arrives, and the team starts to lose. Everybody say: "you are a cold foot". I don't know if you understood, I would like to know how to explain like you do Thank you, Kisses
Answer1 - At the middle of January, I was getting cold feet my research presentation at England. Answer2 - If there are something wrong about work and I see it’s not right.
