2:17. The phrase 'beat around the bush'; we use as 'peck a bush to bring out a snake' . This means 'to do what you don't have to' for us/indigenous people. 10:09. The phrase 'down to earth'; we, also, express our phrase one's bare foot being on the ground. Thank you for your useful phrase/expression.
@@InteractiveEng sama. Thank you for your precious comment. Would you mind if I ask you? 3:25 the next best thing. In my dictionary this phrase is the Title of the US's movie in 2000. Would this be a new colloquial phrase or your favorite?
I would be super happy to join your speaking course, Wes. However, life has kept me busy. So first and foremost thing is surviving. The next best thing is definitely improving my language skills. Needless to repeat that I love your style of teaching. Thank you, Sir.
Thanks a lot for this brilliant expresions ✨ I think I don't have an ear for English pronunciation!! It's not about you, your pronunciation is crystal clear. I wish everybody spoke it as clear as you do!! 🤗
I've been hurdling in my speaking skills as well as writing couples of months ago because I merely have limited vocabularies.

Here are some nice phrases I composed with the vocabulary learned today. - Nowadays, with the prices rising to the sky, everybody is having rough times trying to make ends meet 😆 - First and foremost, I have to say that this lesson has been of utmost importance, not only covering the mere meaning of the words, but also remarking that they go hand in hand with pronunciation. Thank you teacher.
First and foremost, my girlfriend said that she's not ready for relationships and that she wants me to wait, so I'm broken... But guess what is the next best thing?! Learning the language! It perfectly helps me with beating around the bush. Sir, thank you, the set of phrases you've prepared is 200% useful for me! p.s. learning new things helps me to distract myself, so if you're heartbroken too, just try learning something. I wish peace and love for everyone.
first and foremost; beat around the bush; the next best thing; easier said than done; have an ear for; behind the times; down-to-earth; face the music; have had enough; make ends meet; go hand in hand with; for the most part.
I didn't beat around the bush here or over there. I have had enough of it. now I am blessed that I have an ear to my teachers. Wes, I am pretty much done with my idea.
I've hit the like button, even though I was delighted to recognize all the phrases, not even having real strong C1. You manner of presenting the language and personality is to my liking. . Looking forward to new videos .
I think I have an ear for accents too. Like I can pick them apart and even in a language I'm not very fluent I can kind of tell some dialects apart. Also I noticed it when I could easily sing a song while others are tone deaf and would not even notice it.
Have you ever heard about Anki ? A free application that uses a system of memorization that uses a concept of card front and back.I think that's perfect to implement with these expressions because you can put audio with so we'll know it sounds like and the phrase. And in the back of the card the meaning of the sentence like an explanation
1. First and formost i would saying thank you for the lesson keep rocking! I'm up for the challenge so that i could learning those phrases properly, i would get a hang of it.😊 2. Look mr. West, i'm not gonna beat around the bush that advance English is making puzzling without a crystal clear explanation, you explained them to us so well.😁 3. When it comes to speak English, the next best thing that i obligatory to do is speak English with Cici Ai, sorry mr west i'm broke i couldn't join your speaking course i'm a free sources young guy with zero dollar.😂 4. From time to time lods of lods people said learning Japanese is not a rocket science but for me its esier said than done. 5. I can tell the difference between American and british accent, i have an ear for for those two accents How about you?🙂 6. Most of the people In Indonesia are behind the times they unwelcome to the touriest if those people taking over the place here or make uncessary promotion concerning on global products as indonesian i'd like to say sorry this is the factual thing Indonesian citizens are lame, they should be educated to respect tourist make a scene for things that considered normal is inapropriate.🤦🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️ 7. I'm someone that can be down to earth when it comes to sharing snacks with my relatives however i can be emotional if i cried over spilled milk about my life i should learn to get a grip.🥺 8. When we prone to make mistakes in life we should face the music, it is what it is.😒 9. My mama always slaming the bone every week so that we could fullfill our needs, poor people needs to make ends meet for food, i'm grateful for my life.😇 10. Our black speakers for enjoying the music online go hand in hand with the two black mics that my mama bought two years ago.😎 11. For the most part i've never ready for the challenge in English subject like this however now i'm up for it. What do you think?🤗 12. I've had enough for the uncessary news that being reviewed on tv they are too negative concerning on western people who are living in Bali. Do they think they are impaccable people? who often judge a book by it's cover, some Indonesian well known for their close mindedness, such a shame.😒 My thoughts on the lesson: Your lesson full of unexpated thinngs for example when you explaining certain snarios on your mind the best thing about your channel you chin us up with your uplifting words that need to be heard, giving motivation is needed the students needed as well eh? What's your thought on it? I appologise once again for the inconvinient statement that i conveyed even though that is just an example, i feel sorry for them out there who treated unfairly here.😟
@@InteractiveEng Thank you much for your lectures. :) I have decided to get IELTS and CELTA certificate, so I need to gain some knowledge. It is a long way but I hope to manage this one.
Hi, Wes! How's it going today? Hope that all's well on your end. Thanks for this another great advanced vocabulary video - well done! I just can't seem to recall whether I already asked you this question, but what’s the difference between the phrases "more importantly" and "most importantly"? Can they be used interchangeably? Appreciate your reply on this when you get a breather. Thanks very much, and all the best!
Pretty informative. I've just found the channel and I think Imma stick around for a month or so to hopefully start breaking through that plateau of B2 and make it to C1.
Another of the highest standard video, Wes. You've kept your bar high, no doubt. Some of these expressions are new for me. Most of them were mentioned already in previous visual presentations. Thank you very much.
First and foremost I would like to say thank you for the unwavering support to us thru uploading your videos.I am truly grateful for the learnings you have imparted to us..Every single day I watch your amazing videos.Thank you because my vocabularies are improving.
Thanks for your comment. Idioms are considered phrases because there are two or more words. But what makes it an 'idiom' is that the words together have a different meaning than the individual words. 👍

She was 74 years of age when she wrote her first novel. He left home at the age of 16. The show appeals to people of all ages. [c] analysis [c,u] a detailed analysis of the data [c] We made the decision based on our analysis of the situation. April [c,u] She was born in April. The meeting is on the fifth of April. We went to Japan last April. I arrived at the end of April. banana [c,u] a bunch of bananas [c] mashed banana a banana skin/peel bed [c,u] He lived in a room with only two chairs, a bed and a table. [c] He likes to have breakfast in bed on a Saturday morning. She didn't get out of bed till lunchtime today. I'm exhausted - I'm going to bed. beer [c,u] a pint of beer Would you like another beer? [c] life [c,u] All risk to human life should be. He risked his life to save his daughter from the fire. The operation saved her life. Hundreds of lives were threatened when the building collapsed. [c] breakfast [c,u] What do you want for breakfast? Have you had breakfast? Breakfast is served in the dining room between 8.30 and 10. cake [c,u] chocolate cake Would you like a piece of/a slice of cake? He made/baked a delicious cake. [c] change [c,u] There was no change in the patient's condition overnight. I need to make some major changes in my life. [c] She is someone who hates change. class [c,u] My last class ends at 4 o'clock. I was told off for talking in class. Who takes/teaches your environmental studies class? I missed my aerobics class yesterday. I understand the meaning of the above sentences very easily, but I don't understand when it is countable or uncountable. I only know a countable noun when I see it in the plural form or with a quantity word -> I put [c] next to that sentence. I spend a lot of time speaking or writing a sentence related to this type of noun. It's really hard to understand. Can you make a video to teach this kind of noun? There are so many nouns like this. How can learners learn them?
you are a great teacher, this is the first video I watched from your channel and I like your way, keep going!! i decided to watch a video every day and improve my level.
Thanks a lot. Learning vocabulary has always been a thing easier said than done for me but your lessons are really helping. May I ask if we can use these phrases in our writings or are they too informal to do so?
Sir I am a tad bit confused about the phrase "Beat Around The Bush"as u have mentioned it's meaning to avoid talking about something important "but as far as I have known it's meaning to avoid talking unnecessary in order to come to the point.Kindly clear my doubt
Thanks for this practical and useful video. My English level is C1 but I'm not very good at speaking. I need to do more practice. Greetings from Turkiye🙋♀️
Beat around the bush: you have already taught this one. I've been watching your videos since covid pandemic started. You already have a video on this. It was an outdoor video, to the best of my remembrance. We want new things in your newest videos. Please avoid repeating dear Wes. Hope I didn't annoy you😊.
Glad you enjoy the lessons and find them helpful. From time to time, I'll use some of the same vocabulary because it's always good to review. It helps move these words and phrases into your active memory. 😃
"Easier said than done": sometimes it is the opposite, isn't it? For instance to pronounce "conscious" is harder than to be conscious :) What is that (stop motion?) puppet movie in the "have an ear for" chapter (08:29)? That one in the car (perhaps in a taxi?).

Thanks for your comment. Idioms are considered phrases because there are two or more words. But what makes it an 'idiom' is that the words together have a different meaning than the individual words. 👍
Hi teacher, how do you pronoun three nouns together? like [ business sustainability management] which word to stress?
greetings Mr Wes
I really appreciated what you make , just keep going and make alot of videos for us :)

Who takes/teaches your environmental studies class?
I missed my aerobics class yesterday.
I understand the meaning of the above sentences very easily, but I don't understand when it is countable or uncountable. I only know a countable noun when I see it in the plural form or with a quantity word -> I put [c] next to that sentence. I spend a lot of time speaking or writing a sentence related to this type of noun. It's really hard to understand.
Can you make a video to teach this kind of noun? There are so many nouns like this. How can learners learn them?
you are a great teacher, this is the first video I watched from your channel and I like your way, keep going!! i decided to watch a video every day and improve my level.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your comment. 😊
Thanks a lot. Learning vocabulary has always been a thing easier said than done for me but your lessons are really helping. May I ask if we can use these phrases in our writings or are they too informal to do so?
I'm happy to hear that. As for writing, it depends on who your audience is. If it's academic writing, I'd avoid using idioms. 👍
@@InteractiveEng Thank you 🙏
thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍
Do I want to supercharge my vocabulary? Yes, Sir! 👍
That's great! I hope you learned some new phrases. 👍
Sir I am a tad bit confused about the phrase "Beat Around The Bush"as u have mentioned it's meaning to avoid talking about something important "but as far as I have known it's meaning to avoid talking unnecessary in order to come to the point.Kindly clear my doubt
@@siyajoyfulsharma6252Indeed, what you have said is also correct and i would say that more clear

Thanks for this practical and useful video. My English level is C1 but I'm not very good at speaking. I need to do more practice. Greetings from Turkiye🙋♀️

Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
very nice.

Beat around the bush: you have already taught this one. I've been watching your videos since covid pandemic started. You already have a video on this. It was an outdoor video, to the best of my remembrance. We want new things in your newest videos. Please avoid repeating dear Wes. Hope I didn't annoy you😊.
Glad you enjoy the lessons and find them helpful. From time to time, I'll use some of the same vocabulary because it's always good to review. It helps move these words and phrases into your active memory. 😃
The final review is soooo helpful. Thanks😊
Glad to hear that! I hope you learned some new vocabulary. 🤗
Your grammar lesson is also very helpful😊
Glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
"Easier said than done": sometimes it is the opposite, isn't it? For instance to pronounce "conscious" is harder than to be conscious :)
What is that (stop motion?) puppet movie in the "have an ear for" chapter (08:29)? That one in the car (perhaps in a taxi?).
