    Hi Lucy I have been a big fan of you subscribed a few days ago. I am a mass communication graduate in the Philippines and we’re using American English. I had been living here in London for the past 25 years I wanted to learn & adapt more of the British English which is very sweet & proudly say I’m a British Citizen too. UK is my home now for all these years. Thank you so much for all your help which is an advantage on my part to use it from my day to day life.😁♥️

    Hi, Lucy! In America we say, "That takes the cake."
    Also, in a 90 year old cookbook that I inherited from my mom, the section of cake recipes includes recipes for what we now call "cookies," though the book does not use the word "cookie" for them.
    I've enjoyed your videos. :)
    Blessings!

    I've been watching & learning from ur videos since 2018..& I m so contented by my English now..the idioms that I use from ur videos makes me sound so much like a native.. even in our school the students,they were soo eager to know how I got my English at this level..& I recommended them ur channel & so many of the students from my class have started watching & learning from ur videos..hopefully u hold up like this.
    Lots of love from India.

    Hi Lucy! I just want to thank you. You were one of the three you tube channels that I used for my ielts speaking exam and just listening to you talk helped me with my accent and my idiomatic expressions. You also suggested Elsa Speak and I used it for feedback. I got a band score of 9. Did not join any class. Just listened to your videos and two other vloggers. Thank you so much. Will definitely recommend your channel to other people preparing for an english exam...

    • @eljay5623
      @eljay5623 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi S! Your thought of “takes the crown” did ring some bells for me, and i was trying to remember where it comes from. Then it hit me… horse racing! When a horse wins one of the three races, it “takes the crown” and when it wins all three (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont), it “takes the triple crown.” I remembered that the Kentucky Derby is one of them, but i had to look up the other two, lol. You weren’t far off at all! 😀

    Does 'taking advantage of' always mean 'unfair' advantage or could it also mean 'making the right use of the situation'? For example I took advantage of the fact he didn't notice me and saved my life. Thank you Lucy BTW for these wonderful phrases. Will go a long way in making us confident English speakers. I wish I had such support for German as well.
