@@SPEAKLANGUAGESTRAVELTHEWORLD I have one question. I like to read good books in English. I prefer British English but so many good audiobooks in American English. What must I do if I can not find my favorite audiobook in British English? I prefer fiction. Is it so important to choose the accent of an audiobook?
@@ViacheslavKr there are many good audio books out there both free & paid. I'm trying to check out the various free sites but the ones read by librovox have volunteers reading & many are read well but without any intonation so they get very boring.
@@ViacheslavKr an excellent free site which has abridged books at various levels including advanced is english-e-reader.net. The readers are all actors & most of them are British. Do not underestimate the fact that they are abridged & even the Intermediate & Upper-intermediate offer language to add to your active repertoire - especially if you are only training your listening skills without consulting the text at the same time.
Hi Sandachaya, so glad you found what you were looking for on the matter. Have you seen my video in which you can practise these a little? Here’s the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9hmDzvbWJA.html. Let me know how else I can be of help.
THANK YOU The way you explained, gave examples and even showed tools to practice even more! omg so good. Also, it's easy to understand everything you say (I'm not a native English speaker). Cheers from Brazil!
Hi Roxana, so happy to have helped you clarify your ideas on the subject. Have you seen my video in which you can practise these a little? Here’s the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9hmDzvbWJA.html. Let me know how else I can be of help.
Hi Aulia, the differences are: Collocations are combinations of two or more words that sound right to native speakers: e.g. have a snack, catch the bus. Idioms are expressions that cannot be translated literally because they will not have the same meaning: e.g. it's not my cup of tea, from the get-go. I hope that was helpful for you.
Hi Shiaoshih, 'hit the road' is an idiom because the meaning is figurative (you don't actually hit the road), but collocations are groups of words that are natural together: he's a 'heavy smoker' not a 'strong smoker' for example. Glad you found the video helpful. ave you seen the other videos in my English COLLOCATIONS Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLrvV_PywFOlxpr7Idy4v1RUAIVBHKrZOh Thanks for watching! Please share my videos with any friends learning English.
No, Leonardo. "Hold your horses" is an idiom. A fixed expression is something we usually say in certain situations like for example: All of a sudden On the other hand Thanks for watching! Please share my videos with any friends learning English.

Yes, Leonardo! We have some very funny expressions in English but it really gives the idea of a lazy person, doesn't it? Have you seen the other videos in my English COLLOCATIONS Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLrvV_PywFOlxpr7Idy4v1RUAIVBHKrZOh Let me know your opinion.
