As far as I'm concerned, You are one of the best English teachers I've got in my life, Mr.Wes :) I dunno whether It has crossed your mind or not but the way you speak English with such panache and finesse that It just takes my breathe away and solidify my belief that you have literally put your bones and blood into honing your English and now It's giving off the results. I hope you keep making videos like this...! ❤

@viniciusgmachado1204 Месяц назад

@InteractiveEng Wes, sir, I believe that “as far as I’m concerned” is far too common an expression to be considered B2. Be that as it may-which is a _real_ B2 expression, if not C1-as far as I really _am_ concerned, you’re my personal favorite online English teacher. 😇 Enjoy life, Wes! You only live once.

Is take's one breath away the same as blow one's socks off or blow one's mind??

@InteractiveEng Месяц назад

Yes, they are similar. But I think 'take one's breath away' is more appropriate with things that are beautiful. 👍

"We were obliged to protect the city at all costs." "Well, I know I told you I would just stop over at his home a little, but you know, I lose track of time while being with him." "No one really likes you, and I guess you won't be flabbergasted to hear you're such a pain in the neck!" "This meetup might break the ice and make you feel each other," he suggested. "I'm really sorry," I said, staring at the floor. "It stupidly crossed my mind!" Thank you so much for this breathtaking lesson! Best regards from an Ukrainian. It just took my breath away!
