I have invested my money on two different projects as I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket. I could have bitten off more than I can chew if I had taken economics instead of English literature as my subject in university. I needed to learn how to drive the car but couldn't attend driving course because of the current pandemic, I am in a pickle I think. It can be so long if I narrate, but in a nutshell, Emma is a natural talent whom I love so much. Some students are trying to buttering up their teachers in order to get extra mark in the exam. Thanks, Emma, for your lesson.
Hi, Emma. I'm Brazilian and I discovered that in order to learn English we need to listen before speaking and I discovered you here on youtube and I started listening to you a lot. You are beautiful, nice and have a great pronunciation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Wow Emma you are amazing. I watched your videos before my English exam...And I got 79 out of 80. My teacher was pleased as I used these idioms in my paragraph and letter Writting. Thanks a billion for that... Loads of love!😁😁😁
Someone who's really great and amazing you can say: "You're the berries." After you get a promotion at the job and a rise in pay you can say: "Getting the promotion was easy as pie, but the pay rise was the cherry on top." Yes, there are so many existing and so many you can make up ad nauseam. It's impossible to just rattle them all off.
English idioms are extremely hard. And then i want to say thanks so much for your tips and everything when you try to teach anyone wants to learn English language.
Thank you teacher, I'm just started to learn your teaching English on UA-cam last but it's help me a lot. Your techniques are interesting, not to difficult, clearly, helpfully and lovely. Thanks again from Thailand.
(After reading a comment about helpful subtitles) I wanna(want to) give you an advice, dear subscribers. If you wanna speak English clearly and confidently, you gotta(have to, or not in this case - have got) listen to the speaker and try not to read subtitles, because in real conversation you won`t have written speaker`s words and it`ll be difficult and confusing for you. Emma(if you`re reading my comment), you`ve got the best pronunciation I`ve ever heard and it`s easy to listen to you, thanks for your lessons.
