I took Ancient Greek in college. "On the other hand " came up in all our translations.

If we want to incorporate proverb into our speech ,could we say "as the saying (proverb)goes and then quote it ? E.g. People are often dissatisfied with country they live in . As the saying goes "The grass is always greener on the other side"

Hi! In many cases, the proverb will also have become an idiom. The grass is always greener is an idiom so there is no need to introduce it with "as the saying goes" or any other phrase. In fact, it's common enough that you could say "the grass is always greener" and skip the second part. If you are using a proverb that is not already a part of common speech, then you could certainly say "as the saying goes" or, more commonly today "you know what they say." What I would advise is that you should learn each phrase well and be familiar enough with it that you know how it is used commonly in English. However, there is probably no need to incorporate proverbs into your speech. There are more than enough idioms to cover any need you might have, thousands upon thousands. So, just concentrate on learning English idioms and you'll have all the figurative vocabulary you need. This video was meant to clear up any confusion about the difference between idioms and proverbs and not to suggest that English learners should be concerned with using proverbs in their speech. Here is my video for 'the grass is always greener.' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l681JVETBnw.html

I really like your videos, it's really great and useful stuff! But I really don't like when the sound sometimes up and sometimes down. In my opinion, this weard, and not cool.

I'm very sorry about that. This is not happening on purpose. I am having audio issues due to a change in technology. It's notable in this video but not as bad in some other recent ones. I am working to fix the problem. However, the change at the beginning, which is more a change in tone and reverb qualities than volume, will not occur again.
