Hello im from Kz
The whole point of spending time on your learning channel is to study English in a relaxing manner. Thank you ❤
This is the best channel I have ever found for improving my English
The vocabularies it provides are very useful in academic field especially for the students preparing ielts exam
Hi.I'm Behnam. this topic was one of the best and one of the most flattering topic.
Thank you so much.
I always remind myself to never spill the beans because I totally believe that "A close mouth catches no flies". Moreover, if we share our secret, there will be a lot of evil eyes around us, which will spread a kind of negative for us.
yes, that is definitely correct but you can reveal your secret to your parents to feel comfortable🤍
I completely agree that all the secrets we need to keep. Especially if it's a positive event
Until today i am committed to listening to this wonderful podcast thank you
I always watch BBC news, and i think it is useful for my English skills
wow this is good information. i hope people can keep their friends secret🌻🥰
It is so out of habit for me to spill the beans. It is a guilty pleasure for me to reveal them to someone. I cannot keep any secret, as soon as I know something I genuinely want to share it with someone. However, the whole point of it is I do not know too many secrets to tell someone about. So, when it happens, I cannot keep myself under control.
I do not believe in the evil eye as strong as you are.
I good at keeping secrets because I always forget what people tells me.
Ha! Even if it's really interesting?! A couple of small corrections:
I AM good at keeping secrets because I always forget what people TELL me. :)
You've forgotten that nobody tells you their secrets 😅. Just kidding
Thanks to 6 minutes English, I could achieve my goal. Thank you sooo much! From now on, I will also continue to study English hard:) This topic was very interesting for me as usual. Keeping a secret is sometimes difficult…
I'm a kind of person who never spills the beans and has the ability to take secrets with me to the grave caz this is what is known as honesty.
It is actually very good for learned English language
Thanks to bbc english, thank you i’m stepping to my goal every single day
Uzbekistan ❤❤❤
I must confess I'm terrible at keeping secrets. I'd rather spill the beans or spill the tea than take a secret with me to the grave.
Great use of idioms - well done 👏 !
and me 😢
Thank you for always providing great content! However, I'm troubled by the fact that the podcast transcription function is no longer working. If it's disabled in the settings, I hope it will be reactivated. This content is essential for my daily English study, so I hope you will maintain its ease of use.
For sure I can keep a secret, it’s simple. The BBC is interesting I am Excited about this knowledge.
I can keep a secret; it's critical to keep a negative secret, a person sharing his feelings, an important thing; they don't want other people to know; it's reasonable to say you're the believable guy, so don't let them down; a thoughtless statement leads to a shattered connection.
sometimes I spill the beans when I thought that somethong was not right.
The whole point to say is that learning english with BBC Learning english is very important and can give you a great speeches;
Great job!! Interesting dialogue between respectful people thank you for these videos ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hardly ever spill the beans because it means the person relies on me. So, i think I'm good at keeping secrets.
Good use of 'spill the beans"!
I liked the ( spill the beans )idiom. it describes the exact meaning of reveal a secret
I always enjoy listening to your voices and explanations. Thank you for your job, well done)))

I am good at keeping the secret so that no one around me will know the BBC Leaning English is the best place to learn 😅
Interesting topic. I wonder what guilty pleasure is like?🤔 Evil eye sounds scary.😨 I think every family has a bit of secret.🤫 Thanks a lot.
I encourage my friends to keep their secrets to themselves!
That depends on the secret for example when I have a bad secret at a different moment I spell the beans because I feel burdensome but when I have a good secret, I feel guilty pleasure because it is a good thing.
I'm pretty good at keeping secret.❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏻😊

Dear BBC,
When we pronounce the word 'often', do we need to elide 't' sound or not? If I'm not wrong, without elision 't' sound is American English. Please respond me back. Thank you.
Native speaks pronounce 'often' both ways - some people pronounce the 't' and some don't, so it's really up to you which you prefer - you'll hear both versions in the UK though :)
@@bbclearningenglish Thank you very much for your quick response. As I am very pompous and speak with a posh British Accent, I'm taking care of the pronunciation of each and every word.
0:32 I am bad at keeping secrets

Tnx a million
The wholepoint - main reason or purpose
Burdensome-worrying or troublsome
Spill the beans - reval the secret
Can we chat?

0:25 what does Give Away mean there?
If you give away the ending of a movie, you tell someone - who hasn't seen it yet - how the movie ends.
Who from Bangladesh like me 😚🌼😊
Jeremy: Who spilt the beans about me eating George's tuna and cucumber sandwiches?
Geoff: It was me, sorry, Jeremy. I had to tell George. It's burdensome to keep such a huge secret!
Jeremy: The whole point of eating the sandwich was pretending to apologise to George and secretly give him the evil eye. Giving the evil eye to random people is a guilty pleasure. By the way, Georgina told me about your marriage proposal to her. Congratulations!
Geoff: Oh yeah! I completely forgot! I'm getting married!
Yeah am very good in keeping secrets, let the cat out of the bag.😊
Egyptians
Are you here ?!😂😂❤
Nope I would give it away, right away ! 😂☹️☹️☹️
Personally, I can't keep a secret with my relatives. I think I would also reveal big secrets like pregnancy although in my country it is considered inappropriate because many people believe in the evil eye. However, I am able to keep other people's secrets
