Hi Lucy 😊 i'm Algerian English student and my original language is Arabic which has no relation with English language but we have a nearly similar background according to our use of French in our daily life,so it was a little bit easy to learn English but the hardiest thing that we faced was to learn how can we speak English with an accent either British or American because we r still being confused to use them so that we mixed them all the time and we were told that it's a mistake ....i realy like your way explaining us how to be or act like a native speaker and speak English as a British ones i found your videos very very beneficial and clear😍 thank you a lot❤

[@ramprakash5354]

Nina Miss Hi frnd 😀

[@shaggybg]

My homework: 1. I want to make my own game, but I feel it would not be popular, because it'd be a drop in the ocean. 2. I called my cousin to ask her when she's free to go out, but she didn't respond. Now I'm waiting for her to call me back - the ball is in her court. 3. My mother is very helpful and she'd bend over backwards to make things done. 4. I won the competition by the skin of my teeth. It was definitely not a piece of cake! 5. I was a judge at the contest, but I felt like wanting to sit on the fence and rather not vote.

[@derricktucker1533]

Very good, I have 2 small suggestions for you! :) For #4, "by the skin of my teeth" is usually used to mean that you just barely managed to complete something either because you a) didn't try as hard as you should have or b) you underestimated how difficult it would be. If 2 runners were to finish a race at almost the same time, we wouldn't say that the winner won "by the skin of his teeth", because it would sound a little negative. A good example would be "Wow, I didn't study for that test as much as I should have! I only passed by the skin of my teeth!" For #5, "on the fence" usually implies that you are having difficulty deciding something. I'm not sure if I've ever heard someone say that they wanted to sit on the fence, as it is usually a position people don't desire. "I can't decide between going to France or Spain.. I'm still on the fence".

[@hpest]

I usually don't necro, but I just noticed something I felt like I had to point out. The expression is "getting things done", so in 3, one should use "to get things done".

[@BugaBugu]

That's interesting! In Russia we have a similar expression to "miss the train": the "train has gone", i. e. you've lost a chance. Our cultures aren't close and it's very interesting to see these two expressions so close to each other

On the other hand, we should pull ourselves together and to bend our backwards trying to do our best. But don't be too hard on yourselves and cut yourselves a slack from time to time in order to do your best .

@@igranditemi3774 No, it usually just means, "I don't know." It means that, whatever I say would just be a guess so you may as well make your own guess, your guess is as likely to be as accurate as mine. If we wanted to end a debate between two people with opposite views, we would probably say something like, "We'll just have to agree to disagree." or, "We'll just agree to differ." Meaning there's no point in continuing a discussion because no one is going to change their mind about the issue.

We have something similar in Rome's dialect: "Come te dico, sbajo": ( = i'll be wrong whatever I say)

@@sirderam1... Yes indeed. Actually, I meant ending discussions between two people with different views where the discussion would be infinite dued to the fact that both are not bringing empirical data to prove their point. I come across this situation 99% of the times I discuss politics. xDxD

Kill two birds with one stone Go back to the drawing board What goes around comes around A picture is worth 1000 words A pen is mighty than the sword Ignorance is bliss Play devil's advocate There's no such thing as a free lunch Don't beat a dead horse Curiosity killed the cat The pot calling the kettle black You can't judge a book by its cover

*A pen is _mightier_ than a sword. I (native speaker) am not familiar with "the pot calling the kettle back". What does it mean?
