Your way of teaching is amazingly effective! Kudos to you!

I love her videos so much. They are so useful and put in easy English.

You're truly beyond awesome ❤ I really do appreciate ❤ Your teaching style is tremendously helpful ❤

Kayla, you are the best teacher I ever seen on RU-vid! I love your passion and respect to the English Language and to your natural gravity to teach and share your knowledge with people ! God Bless You and Your Family!

Excellent and excellent and again and again excellent . . . God bless you and your family. Your children are lucky to have 24/7 teacher like you by their side.

Both your pronunciation and explanation are precious and practical. I guess you are from northern part of USA. I heard how some americans in nortthern part of USA pronounce. Thats how i guessed it. God may give you longevity.

Hi Kayla, just wanted to let you know I like your style. You talk about idoms and other useful expressions in a very casual way - which is good - unlike plenty of others, pretending to be teachers, preachers or lecturers - even if good but stuck-up too :-) I'm going to make the most of the stuff you're sharing with

Thank you soooooooo much, Kayla!!!!

Very amazing lessons thanks a lot . Salim from Mauritius island

Once I'm finished with my work I'll definitely come back and watch the whole video😊

Many thanks Kayla

Great job!! Thanks a million.

Never found a video lecture like that. Thank you so much!

I am impressed how you bring new Idioms/expressions that are different from other Channels! Thank You

Great video, I'm always glad to learn new expressions in English, It would be great to learn some local slangs and expressions from different places in US, like the place you live in, your state for example.

Thanks a whole lot for your awesome videos! Keep up the good work! We kind of wish you would include more US idioms and slang expressions in your teaching materials, though, so we could communicate with native speakers of American English on an entirely new level. Also, could you please upload videos a bit more often because we are extensively using them in our ESL classes here at the American Language Center. - ESL students Moscow, Russia

Thanks for sharing, I love idioms and also slang vocabulary and this video is some sort of a master class for everyone who's interested with it as well

What a wonderful class, thank you very much for the great content, I learned a lot in a short time, your examples are great, your English is perfect and you are very friendly. Greetings from Brazil.

Hello dear Professor Kayla. Your excellent lessons are excelent and very interesting, that may strengthen my english language, thank you so much for your help and advice, i do appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your Student from Algeria.

What a lovely lesson and what a lovely lady

You did make my day ❤ This video is awesome Gorgeous choice of idioms and great examples Im going to learn them all well Thank you!

Using realia is a great technique teaching language. Right on, Kayla.👍

Kayla, Many thanks for these practical lessons! Im from Mexico City and let me tell you that each day in my work (with some clientes in USA and Canada) I put in practice some of the idioms/phrases i have learned from you..

Great material, quite a few takeaways (even though I haven't finished yet). I would have used this recently: 'to cave in', had I known it. 'to take the high road' - had known this before but forgot it. One request though. These long episodes are difficult to take. Shorter episodes are more inviting, while longer videos are very likely to be skipped. RU-vid doesn't always continue from where you left off so it is a bit frustrating to have to find the last idiom you've watched. Smaller chunks, please.

I like this episode Khayla! i hope you post more in the future.

thanks a lot Kayla!

Great idioms, dear Kayla!
