Learning Idioms this way is engaging, helpful and useful. Coming up with a new way of teaching, doing, etc. is always great. Teacher Alex, you are being very creative. Keep it up! I loved the video.
Hi Alex! Thanks for the lesson. Same of these idioms are familiar to me because they have Russians analogies. For instance about head in the clouds, it's saying "fly in the clouds".
@@engvidAlex Hi Teacher👋, I have a question to you. Heading and Going. For example; I am going to work and I am heading to work....what's diferant between eachothe? Which one is prefered when you speaking? Please, Can you explain to me? Bye
Thank you Alex for this excellent lesson. I am very familiar with some of these expressions which exist almost identically in French. For example: "Avoir la tête dans les nuages" vs "avoir les pieds sur terre". "Cela coûte un bras" (but not a leg, we French take care of our physical integrity). "Cela coûte presque rien" ... Proof that English is largely derived from French?😉😉
Please Sir reply. (Please don't mind sir, it's too long comment) Is this information correct? (from Chat GPT) When you see a present participle (an -ing form) at the beginning of a sentence, ask yourself this simple question: 1. Is there an immediate reaction? If the second action (main verb) happens because of the first action (participle), it often means "as soon as." Example: "Hearing a loud noise, she looked outside." Here, the noise causes her to look outside right away. So, it means "as soon as she heard the noise." 2. Are the actions happening together without one causing the other? If both actions happen at the same time, but neither one causes the other, it usually means "while." Example: "Reading a book, he sipped his coffee." Here, reading doesn’t cause him to drink coffee; he’s just doing both at the same time. So, it means "while." Quick Check: Does one action make the other happen? Yes → It means "as soon as" No, just happening together → It means "while" I hope this way makes it even clearer!
You can use an article or no article with instruments. “I play the guitar” or “I play guitar” are both correct and used. It’s the same with seasons. “I love fall” and “I love the fall” are both correct and used.

My kids cost me an arm and leg 😂
Unfortunately, I'm behind on my tasks 😢.
Eye for an eye is Old Testament, to turn the other check is New Testament. Right?
12:27 is it correct? Maybe “… playing THE piano”?
You can use an article or no article with instruments. “I play the guitar” or “I play guitar” are both correct and used. It’s the same with seasons. “I love fall” and “I love the fall” are both correct and used.
@@engvidAlex thank you for the answer! I like your channel and watch your videos on a regular basis!
Thank you so much for learning with me! I'm glad that the channel has been helpful.
Hi everyone! Maybe someone here want to practice speaking english but have no partner... Let's practice with me! I am learning too !
Hi, it seems like a great idea! What is your native language?
I hope if you move a little to let us take a screen shot 😅
An early bird catches the worm. Not me. I'm a vegetarian.. 😂
Not twitting anymore😂
Yeah, my Twitter is dead. I will probably move to Instagram in the near future.
Gold is expensive paper is cheap.😂😂
Turn the other cheek just as Jesus did. This doesn't mean being stupid😉 God knows what He does..
If someone slaps you , can you turn your other cheek to let him slap you again ?!
