I have my own idiom: In order to not forget a foreign language, learn/study/enjoy everyday "To keep the engine running".

[@englishwithkatharine]

Hi Katharine, you are such a wonderful teacher! I am 65 from Malta, where English is taught from the first year in school, but it’s so great to keep learning from such a great teacher like you. One idiom I use is “it’s water under the bridge”. Thank you so much! 👍❤️

[@englishwithkatharine]

Hello Katherine, I love your 10 daily idioms. I love learning more idioms from you. You are my good teacher Katherine

[@margaritamagg]

Hi Katharine, thank you so much for such informative and useful videos! They're full of fresh, natural English. I've been waiting for so long to learn idioms and phrases that are ACTUALLY used by the natives. You hit the nail on the head! 🙂👏🏼👍🏼 I remember all my non-native English teachers going on and on about 'it's raining cats and dogs ' idiom, how important it is ect.and it turns out it's so obsolete and rarely used. Keep up the good work! Thanks a million!💝

[@englishwithkatharine]

🤗🤗🤗😘😘

[@ammini999]

That was the most kind and polite way to ask to subscribe, impossibile to avoid it. Everyone uses imperative verbs for that. Lovely and useful idioms we'll save it for future use. Thank you very much

Thank you so much. Have a nice weekend. ☺👍

[@englishwithkatharine]

You too!😊

Thank you, Katharine, for this excellent video. Some idioms I recently used are "go for it", "wash one's hands off" and "pass the buck".

[@princemamun80]

[@varshalagoo5954]

Hi Catherine, I am from India. I love British slang. My favourite idiom is hit the nail on the head. Last week, I hit the nail on the head to accomplish my project.

[@amytan8390]

Idioms are really useful in some of the situations when we are describing somethings that need to use a lot of words to say it, idioms make it specific and simple. Thanks Katherine❤

[@englishwithkatharine]

That’s very true 😊

[@jigneshvyas3105]

Thank you Kat! You are lovely and I can see you lovefor art and culture. Besides your musical intonations of the sentences, the the biggestake away for me was pronunciation tips. Secret lies in joining the words and stressing at right places to sound more natural and native. Could I ask you to include these tips more and more in your videos. Lots of love and gratitude.

[@englishwithkatharine]

Yessss definitely 🤗🤗

[@emarivelino235]

Love all these idioms Katherine. Use them all myself too. Another of my favourite idioms is “ Beggars can’t be choosers” which I use a fair amount. Keep up the good work and “break a leg” with your excellent You Tube channel! Ben

Nice to hear these idioms once again . My father who was born in a small village (Pakistan) in 1930 was a great Anglophile.. He lift his job in Railway in 1952 and joined British Imperial Company , bz there were still some British left there. The first time i heard him about these idioms was in 1970.. May b he heard these idioms from his British bosses. He used to listen BBC english service on radio in 60s and 70s.. RIP..🙌

Hi Katherine (from Sardinia)! I enjoyed this video. My favourite idiom is "actions speak louder than words". What I like most about your videoes is that you repeat two or three times the phrases, the pronunciation tips and they are not too long. Well, congratulations!

Hallo Katharine. Thank you for this lovely video. Thinking of idioms: "killing 2 birds with 1 stone" comes to my mind. As a retired veterinarian this idiom always irritated me, because to me the british people seemed to be the most passionate birdwatchers and most militant protectors of animal rights. In Germany we have a somewhat similar idiom meaning "killing 2 flies with 1 strike" which to me seems less aggresive - at least against vertebrate animals.😉
