When you reach 500k subs, doing live lesson would be great idea to celebrate it..
I absolutely adore that "Running dogs and cats":))) Well, living in Ireland , I hear this lovely idiom quite often from mature Irish Gentlemen, and have hearing these words, every time I begin looking around - where ARE all those dogs and cats running away of the heavy rain?😂Thanks for the lovely lesson, Alian😊
Can you record some short stories. For example oliver twist from charles dickens. I will probably listen it. Please do it. It can improve our pronunciation

I love this kind of lessons idioms and expressions that natives use as they help us to speak naturally like a native.

I LOVE your channel!
I’m actually French and studied British English in school (long time ago) but because of Netflix and tv series and the fact that as a non native I tend to mimic, I just started having an American accent. So this is perfect !
😊

Cold Turkey-try to quit something completely
Out in the sticks-live away from city
Neck of the woods-your area, your location,where you are from
Do/done a runner-to escape, to run away
By the skin of my/your teeth-very close to not achieve goals
Could you writ the examples here ?? 🌹

When I first watched your video yesterday, I tried to speak and mimic your accent. I finally found a native British speaker in RUclips. Although my roommate was very annoyed when I pronounce and mimic your accent. Haha. Cheers!
Well, this comment is one year later, but is always perfect. You are nothing to chage, you are perfect like you are. Thank you a lot.
Thank you very much 🌸
Clear & helpful 👌🏻
Lover your accent 🇬🇧
@etj this was a great lesson as always! You rock 😊
Hi Elliot ! I really enjoyed this one ❤❤❤
I live in New Zealand. English is my second language. I reckon many british english expressions are used in NZ. it was very useful video for me I just have subscribed your channel.
Alright mate, it was out of this world!!!!, nice job as always.
Have a good one
Elliott is your-go-to person when all of a sudden you forget how to sound like a modern RP. Truth be told, I've been listening to your channel and podcast long before I decided to move and work here in LDN and I love the English for your kindness and their various accents especially here within the SE / Southwark area. 💙
Thanks as always ! thank you teacher.
You are just a fantastic teacher ! Thank you
Lovely lesson on idioms, Elliot!!👍
Hey, I'm from Argentina. Your videos are really useful. I like them so much.
Thanks for your amazing teaching.

Happy New year Elliot.
Watching this after 10 months of new year, this isn't a little bit happy. But your videos are the best as ever :D
I think I've been stalking your soothing accent from the moment you came on mah related videos list.
Helo teacher . Amazing your accent in your pronunciation ; I love your classes and when you say bye . Best regards from here Argentina , bye jijiji .
I am from HK it is so nice to catch your video to improve my pronunciation. Cheers
I wanted to tell you that I think this is your best look with your hair in this video. You have many different looks in your videos, but you’re lucky enough to have hair that you can do anything at all with it and it still looks good.
Happy new year!

Teacher it will be wonderful year if you will make a video of British Slang to teach us this year, I'll be flattered
💗😊😊
I adore idioms. Thank you
I learned British English when I began speaking English. Born in Ceylon before the name change and then moved to England when I was two. Relocated to the United States when I was 10 1/2 and was teased about my English accent and retrained in American English. My pronunciation changes at home when I talk to my parents though - more British sounding but with a sing-song Ceylonese intonation. And they use words no longer used in modern Britain -- dickey for boot (of a car); spectacles or specs instead of "glasses". Also, cinema instead of "the movies" and biscuit instead of "cookie". I've noticed a fair number of American words and phrases have crept into British English - " out in the sticks", for example, is an American expression. So is "cold turkey".
Happy New year mate
Thank you for your lesson, I love British accent.
I’m from Canada. I thought “middle of nowhere” and “out in the sticks” were Canadian expressions. I grew up with these. I’m glad to know they are legitimately British and current. “Neck of the woods” and “cold turkey” are also commonly used here. “Do a runner” is not used in Canada. There’s one difference..... I’m here because I need to give up Trump news videos cold turkey. They are not good for my blood pressure.
Really enjoyed your lesson.
My neck of the woods is north of France, for now ! Thanks for the idioms !
A wonderful video as usual 👍😘
Happy New year Eliot
Happy year!
I've been waiting for your next podcast, maybe you can read us some short storiess? It will help a lot to enhance our pronunciation.
