It is important to take the medical career into stride. (this is personal example) Her innovative content made a splash, which was beyond her wildest dreams. I found myself at the end of the tether when I came in 2nd place. Drama series can make you feel down in the dumps. I think it's time to clear the air and make peace. Watching KZbin too much puts me off stride from studying. After graduating I hope everything will fall into place. If you put bread on grass, ants will come thick and fast. After two attemps of trying to lose weight, I threw in the towel. . . . Thank you, Katia! These idioms are very useful! ❤️

[@englishbits]

Hello!! I've checked your examples! The first sentence: this idiom doesn't work in this sentence. In the sentence about KZbin you can also use the verb "to distract". The rest is great!! 😁

[@ayhancapan]

I hope your KZbin channel will make a splash beyond your wildest draieams.

[@englishbits]

Thank you!! 🤞

Hi Katya! Thanks for your lessons. I have written these sentences. Can you take a look? -I was down in the dumps when I had to say bye to my students due to the coronavirus lockdown. -I recommend my students clear the air as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings. -My neighbour started to sing at 3 am. That put me off stride when I was sleeping. Is it possible to say "put me off stride from sth" as well? Hope you're OK! :) Love your lessons.

[@englishbits]

Hello Kevin! Thanks for your comment! Everything is correct, except one tiny mistake. I recommend my students TO clear the air (recommend + ing or that ... or sb to do sth). I wouldn't use to put sb off their stride with from. 😉

[@Crisguay]

You rock! 🙌 It's so kind of you to share so much knowledge! I need a new notebook to write everything down right now!!! 😜

[@englishbits]

Haha, thanks! In the description box there are links to my present notebooks. I'm a fan of nice 📒 📔🖊!

[@vorgosv2563]

Thank you teacher, Христос Воскресе!

[@englishbits]

Воистину воскрес! 😁

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Vorgos V How funny, I uploaded a new video with that phrase. Let’s see if Katia can teach us some Russian. C2 Russian idioms.

[@englishbits]

My Russian is not that good anymore. 🙄

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@englishbits Do you think your English affected your Russian in a negative way? When you speak in Russian with your mother or friends, do some English words, idioms come to your mind?

[@leigtonfernandohuamanilope637]

English bits is making a splash Greetings and blessings from Peru I love the way how you teach these useful expressions

[@englishbits]

Thanks so much!! What part of Peru are you from? I visited Peru a year ago and totally loved it! 😁

[@leigtonfernandohuamanilope637]

I am from the capital Lima . I saw you visited stunning places in my country . Keep up the good work and make more top notch videos as usual

[@englishbits]

Thank you! I visited Lima and other places in Peru like Titicaca Lake, Machu Picchu trekking, Huacachina... The nature is so varied and beautiful! 😁

[@tomagera5858]

You are super!!! Thanks.

Thank you! 💓

[@alejandraabioatienza4904]

Hi, I love your videos you are helping me lots. Thank you. I was wondering why in this example: “I think it’s time you two cleared the air. You can’t go on without speaking to each other. “ you wrote cleared instead of clear, you are talking about the present. Regards.

[@englishbits]

Hello Alejandra! Thanks! You can find the answer to your question in this video of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXS7ZJeplth3htk

[@alejandraabioatienza4904]

[@englishbits]

Hello Klaudia! I was born in Ukraine and living in Spain.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

It is funny , Germans say “artificial”and English say wildest. Yes, I can stick that idiom in my brain/mind/ memory. Katia will make a splash on youtube in a few years down the road. 2022- I have hit 1 million subscribers. That was beyond my wildest dream. I have 1 million students. I have helped so far 1 million students to brush up on their English. I am proud of being an English teacher 👩‍🏫.

[@englishbits]

I hope so! But it's better to enjoy the journey. 🚲

"down in the dumps" can be a synonym of "to have the blues" or "feel under the weather"?

[@englishbits]

To feel under the weather is when you feel a bit ill. The other two could be synonyms.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Down in the dumps- I learned that idiom thanks to Misterduncan. Without any reason. In German, there is a funny word to explain that( without any reason) Weltschmerz-world pain. I am sad because the world is cruel. You have a lovely life, but seeing injustice in your environment makes you feel down in the dumps.

[@englishbits]

I agree! It's sad to know what's going on in some countries.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@englishbits Some people claim the bad weather can make you depressed. Do you agree with that?

[@englishbits]

Totally! The weather affects my mood.

[@danielisozaki8522]

Hello Katia! I bought the Object Proficiency (SB and WB) and now things got even more serious. Let's do it!

[@englishbits]

Thanks great!!!!! Enjoy your preparation and I'll be happy to help you with that!! ⭐

[@marie0204]

Hi Katia, me too I've got the Objective proficiency book which I've just finished during the lockdown. Can you help with the speaking ?

[@ayhancapan]

"Throw in" comes from boxing. In my language we also have the same idiom. I didn't know it's in English too. I hope to not to use it 😊

[@englishbits]

That's right! 😃

[@MAJUNSTAIN]

Love your shirt!

[@englishbits]

Thanks, Martin! Me too, it's so original! Glad to hear from you again! 🤪

[@bearingbeautyy5249]

Tienes alguna técnica para memorizarlos?Es que olvido muy rápido los idioms ,Y gracias por hacer vídeos tan interesantes y llamativos!

[@englishbits]

I recommend making a list on Quizlet. It's a great app that helps you memorize new vocab by playing games. It's fun! 🤓

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Bearing Beautyy Los olvidas porque no repasas. Es preferible que no los intentes memorizar al principio. Primero los ves. Pasado unas horas vuelves a revisarlo y mañana también. Luego lee o ve películas 🎥 a ver si tienes la suerte de toparte con ellos en periódicos o películas. Para pasar de la memoria corta a la memoria larga tienes que repetir, pero entre repetición y repetición dale tiempo a tu cerebro a que asimile los nuevos conceptos. Si los repasas varías veces-5,10 veces no se te olvidarán. Se te olvidarán si los memorizas hoy y no los vuelves a ver. Intenta asociarlos con tu vocabulario de otro idioma o términos de cierta disciplina. Un ejemplo tonto. La palabra это - significa es o it is en inglés. Cuando aprendí esa palabra la asocié con las siglas de un grupo de terroristas. Intenta unir palabras que ya sepas con nuevas- has un puzzle 🧩 mental, o invéntate un código mental que te haga recordar la palabras o palabras. Busca en google Reglas mnemotécnicas para facilitar la memoria- spaced repetition es lo que te hace falta. Tienes que decir a tu cerebro esto es importante. Aparte de aprenderlo- úsalos,ya sea hablando en alto mientras los escribes. Mañana lo lees y luego ves el vídeo de Katia mientras cocinas para renforzar lo aprendido.

[@ipanema4564]

If I may, dear Katia, I'd like to make a constructive remark: being this a C2 level class, I do not think it's necessary to enunciate each idiom twice. Fluency is lost. Other than that, you're doing great !

[@englishbits]

I appreciate your comment. You may be right. Thanks! 😉

[@mazatiestos]

@@englishbits I agree with Nema, anyway, I really really appreciate your videos, they are so useful. Thank you very much for your effort and commitment!

[@englishbits]

Thanks for your kind comment! 😄

[@vaniaramirez3169]

To throw in the towel is the exact same thing as “tirar la toalla” in Spanish. At least in Mexico we use it

[@englishbits]

We say the same in Spain. In English you nee to add "in" - to throw in the towel.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

At the end of your rope/ tether. How would you translate it in Spanish? Estar echo polvo,derrotado, por los suelos/ acabado. I am bleeding red ink due to my expensive holiday in Сан Петербург. Fall into place- todo ira bien, todo se arreglará. Is this phrase “ everything will turn out fine/well a synonym phrase?

[@englishbits]

Yo diría estar al límite, al borde.

[@englishbits]

Todo se arreglará, se solucionará. Todo se pondrá en su lugar.

[@yusefbachir1646]

Hola, puedes decir que significa you didn’t get the memo? Gracias

[@englishbits]

[@yusefbachir1646]

Muchas gracias

[@beatrice9564]

I have a question: can I use the expression ''to bleed red ink'' in a formal writing?

[@englishbits]

I'd say you can! 📝

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

I am missing something here” put me off stride” and then put her off stride. I think you can say put her off stride. There is a rule. I don’t remember that rule- Oh yeah, inseparable and separable phrasal verbs.

[@englishbits]

Example number 2 is Passive.

[@mariaradulovic3203]

To thow or throw in the towel?

[@englishbits]

To throw IN the towel. 🙂

[@saraaniballi2145]

Great job but you misspelled throw twice on the blackboard.

[@englishbits]

Thanks! I know but it's just a typo!

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@englishbits You can use google adwords. It's a pity that there are no longer annotations on KZbin's videos. 4 or five years ago, you could write extra information in an annotations. Now, we have endscreens. In 2012 we could reply with a video in the commentary box. A videoresponse. What does youtube change all the time? 2020- KZbin studio 2022- Goodbye monetisation, and everyone has to pay to access KZbin.Just a guess, don't take it seriously. KZbin is unpredictable

[@misaelh543]

I think you skipped a letter in the third idiom. 'throw by thow'

[@englishbits]

Could be a typo. 🙂

[@misaelh543]
