    Oh Emma , I thump up your video before watching it. Because I know in advance I will like it. I offer you this idiom: al fresco outside • We ate al fresco under the olive
    trees. • An al fresco performance of The
    Tempest was the highlight of our visit.

    Hi Emma, I have a strong connection with food and my favourite idiom so far is "you can not make an omelette without breaking eggs". I hope to find more food idioms on you Chanel.

    " Back to the drawing board" : having a second thought to reconsider , re-evaluate available options again, one of my favorites as we use it quite a lot at work, back and forward:). Ex: All the interviewed candidates failed, back to the drawing board on this.
    Thank you teacher Emma for the valuable lesson , have noted all of the idioms.

    • @Pronunciationwithemma
      @Pronunciationwithemma  6 років тому +1

      Hey Alberto, sadly there's no pleasing everyone and when I don't have the music people complain and say it's boring, and then when I add it slightly in the background people complain. Not all my videos have background music if they focus on pronunciation, but some have it simply because more people request it. The background music during the actual explanation of this video is set to an incredibly low and unobtrusive volume too. Cheers.
