She is the best teacher ever , love your classes, tips, ideas, inspirations, accent...all. You unarguably steal the show here on youtube! Thank you Lucy, you rock! 👏🏻🥲❤️
Hi Lucy! I am an English teacher from Turkey. Your videos worth their weight in gold! Because I am not a native and I take great pleasure in watching them 😁 Lastly, the people around me sometimes drive me up to wall because they just live without a care in the world!!!
11:50 I loved "walking on eggshells"!! in Turkish, we similarly say "diken üstünde yürümek" which means "walking on thorns" or, "mayın tarlasında yürümek" which is "to walk on a minefield" same meaning! there's also "ip üstünde yürümek" which means "to walk on a string" but it means more like you're in danger 😅
Thanks Lucy for this fabulous and ineffable lesson. So chuffed that I have learnt smth mesmerizing on RU-vid. Last time I was lacking the impetus to study 📖 😪 , however right now feeling myself significantly fulfilled. Genuinely without care in this world 🌎. I reckon that English is worth its weight in gold in my life , therefore due to you ♥ I became more sanguine in English. Thanks a bunch.
Lucy, thanks a lot! 🤗I'm preparing for CAE exam and this video is so beneficial!🤩 I'm looking forward to other videos for advanced learners. You're an amazing teacher! ☺️
Rly u hv fantastic way of teaching . U know the click of human pattern to turn his/her focus instantly ....watching nd learning. Great woman appreciate u...
I was looking for a video about vocabulary to do my homework and suddenly, your notification were sent to me hhh it's marvelous 'cause you actually give examples 🤩 I really appreciate it
I'm always learning from these videos. As an American English speaker, I've never heard the expression "short and sharp." Here, we'd say "short and sweet." As in: I know everyone is busy, so I'll keep this short and sweet. There's another sense for the phrase "down to." If someone is "down to" or "down for" it means they want something. "I've worked hard all week and now I'm down to party." "I skipped breakfast so now I'm really down for some lunch." I agree with your pronunciation of "integral." I use "in-teg-ral" to refer to a vital part of something and "in-te-gral" for the math function. Thanks for the outtakes, by the way!
Wait a minute... How come you're a native speaker of English still "integral" sounds as if you were argentinian? It's amazing! Have only just discovered this channel and I cannot love it more. Congratulations on your amazing teaching skills, clarity, and generosity! Can't wait to go through all your videos... Keep it up!
I so much enjoy your class, Lusy, for the fact that it's always refreshing and gluing. Keep it up Lucy, you're doing beautifully well when it comes to churning out with amazing phrases.
If only we had teachers like you back in our school days. By the way, you're bound to make tons of bloopers during each video and we can assure we do not take any pleasure when you make bloopers
Thanks Lucy. I’m enjoying your videos a lot, and this one in particular! Btw I think you missed “number 9️⃣” and I’m dying to know what the 9th phrase was 🥲
4:00 I just thought about how we say it in german and I guess the phrase which catches up the meaning best is: "Jemanden auf die Palme bringen". Word for word translated it means "to bring somebody on the palm" which I think is quite funny xD
Love all those examples 🙂 May I throw some of my favourites? Like, just doing basic stuff at work: just bread and butter today. Or be meticulous with cleaning or searching for something: all nuks and crannies Being short of staff: running On skeleton crew. And when something is going really well: we cooking on gas. Hope you enjoy farm life, all the best for you and Will 🍀
It drives me nuts (instead of drive up the wall) when people throw their rubbish outside the window. I hate it so much. Thank you Lucy for such example! 🌍♻️
@@ahonnnn77 No everybody ! (Sorry belated April fools day joke 🤒 ) But it would be nice to see who it was after Lucy has been slaving away only to me met with negativity ?
