Thank you for the video. it's amazingly useful! My answers are: 1) Might as well / May as well / Suppose so 2) I'm not bothered / I'm not fussed 3) I'm afraid
Hello Aly...thank you very much for this video, the expressions are so useful and I've already been using a couple of them "I can't be bothered!" and "I'm afraid..." but not the others; so this is brilliant for me because I want to make my English more and more British, I love it. 1. Might as well, 2. Not fussed, 3. I'm afraid, but...could we change the first two, I've got a doubt? 🙏😊 Thank you!
I love this video (actually I love all your videos XD). 1) Might as well 2) Not fussed 3) I’m afraid But I would ask if the question 1) can be answered by "Not Fussed" (means ok ?) Thank you!
Well... British people love Indian food, like spicy curries, right? You guys can't be afraid of flavour and spicies on your food, Aly! Hehehe.... 🤪 Thank you so much for another great video! 🤩
Great video! I'm going to the UK soon, and your videos are helping me so much with the expressions (and I'm so glad you're doing your amazing drawings again!). And I have one question not related to the video, but hope you don't mind answering it: are brits strict when it comes to hearing other accents? Do I have to work on my british accent or they'll be ok with my own? Love your videos❤️
Hey Aly, thank you for all the brilliance you share by teaching us English. Just one little thing - Spotify. Yes, I know your drawings are great and very informative but I'm one of those foreigners that lives with headphones on and I know it would be so good if I could listen to your podcast again and again. Is there any hope for this matter?
This is very useful as always. Question. "I won`t be going to a medical school" vs "I won`t go to a medical school" ? Why did you use this Continuous form in that case? I noticed British people use a lot of Continuous in different tences even in conditional forms. Very confusing.
1) It's only 9:30! Shall we get another beer? Yeah, I'm not fussed / 2) Do you mind if sing to you? I'm supposed so / 3) Sir, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave
Thank you for the video! 💪🏻
1) Might as well
2) I'm not fussed
3) I'm afraid...
You don't know in how many ways I'm so grateful for any of your videos... You're a great teacher. Have a good one.
You're an amazing teacher and artist too!!!

@@sasansafari841 I remember it.
I would translate "fair enough" into Russian as "понятно". Thank you for your videos ❤
I'd say "справедливо" is closer
This is the first time in my whole life that I’m in love with a teacher.
Thank you, Aly! ☺
Thanks, was a really good one!
Absolutely fantastic!

Wrong...the spices are adjusted as per the British taste buds.
Thank you, Aly. The answers are 1a, 2b, 3c.
Great video 🎉🎉🎉 as usual. Just a question: instead of fair enough may I use " yea ...whatever"?
Haha yes 🤓
Thanks, this is useful

Absolutely not! Especially London and all cities where you’ll find a billion different accents 🤘🤓

Podcast? Isn’t it on Spotify?
It is. But last issue was in 2018 . A lot of water under the bridge
Even if you just simply upload audio tracks for all these videos it would help greatly. In case you prefer keeping UA-cam as the only source.

Hi Aly: Does the e-book contain solutions? Can it be read on a regular laptop or do I need an e-book-reader?
Yes to everything 🤘🤓 It’s available as a PDF so you don’t need anything special
Awesome.
If you have, can you give me the links of your Videos about phonetics
"The Earth is flat!" - Alright! Fair enough! 😏"The King's a lizard!" - Umm... Totally! 😅
