Traveling is joy, but there is no place like home. That store sells pastry, bread, sweets, cakes, beverages, and you name it. They did not agree with each other, but they found common ground in live in peace separately. I have admired his ability to keep a cool head, instead of getting into an altercation. It's a rule of thumb, people love saluting each other in this district. He's such a people person, he makes friends everywhere. Given that the fact that it's an expensive restaurant, but it's always crowded. The customer asked the waiter how long he had to wait,’ he said,’ Do you mean? How long is the wait? Just a few minutes. The man asked him how many cars were there, he said 25 cars, give or take.🌹

Excellent job using the expressions Abdulah!

[@dawaiahmed6891]

I have just one month following you, but the truth must be told, you are an excellent teacher. I like the way you explain the lesson because you explain it in relax way with clear pronunciation. Thanks a lot.

[@Cynnas]

Just some friendly advice from an American. Your first sentence would read better as, "I've been following you for only a month and, truth be told, you are...". We usually use "I've" more than "I have" and "truth be told" is used without the "must". Also, it is " in a relaxed way".

[@pervaizshiekh7821]

I wish I had your channel available when I was in 10th class. English was my passion. I didn't study in English medium until 9th class but still managed to acquire 2nd position in English in 10th class with 70% marks leaving behind hundreds of students who had come from English medium schools. Doesn't it sound amazing? *Lots of Love FROM INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR*

[@LittleGunBear]

you are just perfect. I never knew that i was pronouncing the words'n'verbs that much wrong... in the mean time, i've learnt many idioms! you are doing a great job here! many many many thanks!..

Thank you Lisa, you are very important for all people like me , who struggles to learn English

[@ramondejesus658]

I'm very grateful for this practical video. I like the clear way you speak and explain to us. Another reason to love this is that you take real-life conversations and situations to relate them to your explanations. I owe you not one, but one million, hehe (this sounded so informal, 🤣.)

[@DM-mn8nr]

I've had lived in the US for eight years. I tend to ignore idioms if I can understand the sentence without them, but I think it is useful to learn them. I am 27 years old, and I have friends in their 20's that use these idioms very often.
