I can say that these are some proverbs used to describe something the same thing here in Algeria we use these words as an wisdom thnx Mrs Bob u r always the best I enjoy ur video
Hello Sir, This is Vinay. If You start a podcast It will be awesome for students to learn more. I do like your videos. It was my humble request. Thanks
Hi Svetlana! I'm glad it was helpful for you! By the way, I also I do a daily lesson here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/A1hcVCy5hig/w-d-xo.html
Bob that video was awesome. I just have one question, To have a cow or Dont have a cow, what does it mean (Dont make a big deal out of something)?? How this idiom is used by Native speakers? Because I didnt quite understand it. Thanks again , I 'd love to learn idioms and slang
I'm glad you are finding them useful! Don't forget to share them with friends. The more people that watch the videos the more energy I have to make more. Thank you so much for this comment. It helps me stay motivated.
Thanks! Sorry for taking so long to reply. I appreciate that you watched my video! If you have a chance to watch there is a new video here: th-cam.com/video/R7-hD4EW4Tw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Bob, I really enjoy your videos and wanna thank you for that! Also, may I know where the place is in this video? It looks amazing!❤️ PS. Those Canadian Geese really wanted to join you when you took this video, lol
not really good experience jajajaja, my hometown is an old small and backward village，i live in my aunt's house and her house has no bathroom, you can't believe that i took my shower out door that people can see my butt (OMFG), so i have to took my shower when everywhere is dark enough. the next day my aunt she realize im embarrass to take shower out door so she took me to a place indoor where she feed the pigs before LOL, im a city man, don't really get use with the life in village. (no offance)
It's good to hear that you are visiting family though. Family is important in my opinion. It sounds fun in a quaint sort of way. (There's a new word for you maybe). quaint (adjective) attractively unusual or old-fashioned.
Hey, Bob the Canadian, would you please correct my sentences below : 1) My son is the kindest person in the world, he wouldn't hurt a fly. How could you say he injure you! 2)Due to the recent hot spell, my flowers were dropping like flies. 3)I have a phobia of heights. When it was my turn to ride rollercoaster, I chickened out. 4) My late father was pig-headed, he had everything set in his own way and he refused to barge in every single issue. 5) He hadn't been eating for a couple of days, he's pigging out on the meal and never stopped! 6)Don't ever thought of him picking up the bills. This will happen when the pigs fly! 7)Way back when my former Prime Minister was implicated in the money-laundry scandals, the issue was like the elephant in the room.

Would you just calm down. 13)We were thinking of giving her a surprise party, but our friend John has let the cat out of the bag by telling her our plans. 14) We love and enjoy horsing around among female friends.

It's good to hear that you are visiting family though. Family is important in my opinion. It sounds fun in a quaint sort of way. (There's a new word for you maybe).
quaint (adjective)
attractively unusual or old-fashioned.
I forget new words while having conversations with someone.
