Superb lesson Leila. You have found a perfect rhythm, not too fast, but especially not too slow as could sometimes be in the past. 30 idioms clearly explained in 10 minutes is just great. A lesson to listen and to listen again and again...
I was super sleepy but when I saw that you have published a new lesson, I could not hold myself and watched it. Listening to you is such a wonderful thing. Thanks you :)
