I'm a Canadian living in Tokyo, and my dream is to help Japanese people with their English in a fun and creative way! I love teaching and I want to help as many people as possible!
i learned so much from this video again!! i really love your use it or lose it series! we in hong kong really don’t get that much exposure to current idioms that are really used by english natives. i thought in a nutshell, a piece of cake, are still commonly used because these are what we were taught in schools and in all our learning materials..and there are other idioms that i might have heard some from movies but forgot because i don’t have many chances to actually use them. i took many screenshots from this video so i can see them from time to time and refresh my glossary. thank you!!
Glad to know that there will be more video coming! Recently I’m interested in what kind of phrases are used when people begin or end Email in English. For example I often start with ‘ hope this mail finds you well’ and end with ‘best regards’ or ‘have a nice day’. I use so limited phrases when I write mails in English. So I want to know more about this. Hope in the future this can be the topic of your video!
Thanks for posting a lot of videos that help me learn English more. I would appreciate if you could put on subtitles in Japanese as well because I want to know the difference of expression between Japanese and English.
I would LOVE to add Japanese subtitles to these videos as well, but currently there aren’t enough viewers on my channel to afford it 😭 if you continue to like 👍 the videos and watch, we will be able to soon!! For my shorter videos alot of them have subtitles!
Get one's hopes up Light at the end of the tunnel Could hear a pin drop Pull an all-nighter Down to earth Get a kick out of sth Jump the gun などです。カナダに来てイディオムを使ったらなんかダサいとか、年寄りみたい、とたまに言われるので、どのイディオムがまだ若者に使われてるのかがめっちゃ気になります笑 もし次のの機会があればお願いします🙏🙏
thank you, learned so much! we’re still teaching cats and dogs here in hong kong and it’s actually in our textbooks since decades ago😅 there are also other idioms that we have never learned or heard here, so ive really learned a lot from this video!
Last year when it was raining heavily outside, I taught my students "It's raining cats and dogs!" during my class haha. Watching this video, I found it outdated.
It can still be used, but yes a little bit outdated! 🤗❤️ I hope to make more like this so please let me know if you have any phrases you’re interested in!
