You’re the man for English, Keith
I simply adore your Ielts clips because I learn a lot of useful information .

My favorite teacher is Keith. He’s the bees knees 😂😂😂 . million thanks from Iraq 🇮🇶
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Keith, you are absolutely delightful to watch!
Thankyou Mr Keith,, your so lively and lovely,, your lessons are top notch
Hi Keith, I always write down many things that you say during your videos, but simply hear them I´ve learned a large variety of idioms and vocabulary about the topics. And the most important thing, you are able to transmit me energy even in a dull day.
Thank you so much for such an excellent job. Your channel is the best thing since sliced bread!
My pleasure - and there you have another of my favourite idioms....the sliced bread one!
now I'm hooked on watching your channel, Mr. Keith! I must say this has become my newfound pastime! Thanks a bunch!!! You're second to none!
I'm not preparing for IELTS but i have been following your videos for quite some time.
I love english and literature.
It's really nice when I engage and participate with you in the videos, its becomes more interesting.
Thanks for the videos.
awesome! I can't thank you enough for your useful videos.
Thank you Keith, you are hands down the best speaking teacher. Sometimes I cannot make a head or tail of how to deliver my speaking for IELTS but just by watching you explain it in a way that cut above the rest, everything becomes so clear and easy. There is none other than a good teacher so now I don't have to say "I can't get my head around it" anymore. To my way of thinking, practice makes perfect, so I will make some example below although mine is just run-of-the-mild thought. Well, let't talk about my birthday. I am on the fence about whether or not we should have a party on that day. On one hand, I would like to memorise the date of my birth while on the other hand, having a party is not my cup of tea. As for gifts, I don't really mind, I can take it or leave it. When I was young, my parents were my second to none, they gave me toys and dreamed presents, which were my bees knees. Nowadays when I have enough money to pay for whatever I want, I feel it is not a patch on what I have given when I was young. A new cell phone can't hold a candle to a doll.
you cant say there is none other than a good teacher!
Too many idioms, only if you're not teaching us the usage of these idioms. If this is the case, then you've done an excellent job. 👌
⚠️: You can not use bees knees for plural things.
Edited: I'm sorry, you already mentioned that you were giving examples.
@@erikagt
She said that she was making examples. Read 9th & 10th lines in her paragraph.
Great job 💯 this will help in remembering all expression simultaneously
my take on this, the idiom ''bees knees'' is use as singular.
I can't get my head around it.🤔🤔🤔🤔
There are many good teacher, but they :
-are not a patch on Mr Keith
-can't hold a candle to Mr Keith
so kind!
Couldn't agree more! They might be good, but you can take it or leave it, and Keith is the bees knees!🤩
Keith, thank you....
So true!💯
Mr Keith is hands down the best teacher there is on yt.
People are smart 👏👏👏
Very useful guidelines. Thank you so much.

"Once in a blue moon "is another idiomatic expression that you used while explaining about "the bees knees".
Excellent teaching. Once in a blue moon we get an opportunity to listen to such great teachers on You Tube.
Thank you Keith
Once in a Blue Moon means rarely.. Not to show about ur likes
In fact, in Italy we say "ogni morte di Papa" (very rarely).
Hey Keith, Thank you so much for your videos. I am learning so many things through your videos.
I am in my two minds for registering my IELTS test as it boils down so much 💰.
Mr.Keith, thank you very much for inspiring me in English Speaking.
Watching your videos is fun! Many many thanks for your sharing!
Keith, many thanks! I started watching your videos a couple of days before my speaking test, picked up a few tips from you on speaking, and achieved a good band. You are a phenomenal teacher!
Hello sir your teaching is very helpful I am from INDIA ❤️❤️

Keith, İ highly admire your way of teaching. Thanks a lot.
I absolutely agree with you that learning a list of idiom without context is useless ,learning them one at a time is much more effective ! Thanks a lot for your videos ,I love them!
In Brazil: "It's not my cup of tea" = "Não é a minha praia" (It's not my beach)
Haha love the connection to nature :)
That is fantastic - thanks for sharing!
If Italy had a center forward like Harry Kane, it would be the best team in the world! He is a cut above the rest! We could make an exchange, you give us him and we give you the secret of the perfect Italian's cappuccino! Greetings from Italy 😊👍
I love yours video because of your speech. I understand every word you say.Thank you
Thank you so much! These are amazing idioms!
