    I will never ditch this great channel . After spending one week in England and one week in Iceland recently, I decided to ditch the mask , but will mask up when I go to the nursing home. Thank you for all your useful videos.

    I am glad you picked up on the Japanese topic.
    I'm a Japanese and I "ditched" masks, yet people around me still wear masks.
    Probably they are embarrassed to show their faces, or feel make-up or shaving is bother so wear masks to avoid it.

    Could anyone explain to me the usage of the phrase "life after" which means the future without. Because in some cases I saw they use after as a preposition which turn the phrase to another sense. For example: I don't believe in the life after the loss of the loved one, but things do carry on. Here, Life after does not mean future without, doesn't it?

    Please use Language summary or words you guys explain about as a thumbnil. So i can clearly search in the videos if i don't remember it or if i want to reuse it bcs the words are really new for me. For example, whenever i read a english new, i felt like i know this word and i learn from bbc but i don't remember so i try to search from bbc. It's really hard for me to find a video again and again. So, If you guys show the words as a thumbnail, i can easily find and relearn it. I hope my suggestions would help other and BBC please help this difficult.
