Congrats for your channel. I love it! All the best to you.

[@chelseevee]

Being from England myself, this is one of the first videos I have seen that teach proper British! Other videos bring in words and phrases that aren't commonly used at all and it does my head in so thanks for this lol

[@bnu2b]

Yeah mate you're right. "Listen up kids, always say it's rainig cats and dogs when it rains heavily"

[@Ali.R1]

Can I contact you to ask you some questions ?

[@paulgutman3157]

We sometimes say "under the weather" in America too. We use "at the end of the day" constantly. ("Get a grip!" as well.)

[@aurora7974]

i’m literally in love with your accent; i wish you were my english teacher

[@ishitadubey9366]

Same

[@faustinasarawak9149]

One thing that really does my head in is when the weather is extremely hot, but at the same time I am feeling over the moon every time I learned English lesson with ETJ Correct me if I'm wrong

[@charlielu1747]

I'm over the moon to find your channel.

[@John-paulz]

You are a excellent teacher and then you make remembering idioms and expression so I am over the moon with that ❤🎉

[@hassanosman9719]

I am over the moon bcoz u usually jumps into the topic without much introduction

[@LaNoisetta]

It always surprises me how I can perfectly understand British accent, American accent, Australian accent even... But when I took my TOIEC exams, the Listening part was not comprehensive at all 😂

[@hamizansuhaimi1412]

Same goes with me😅

[@magda_638]

A video from Elliott = the best gift for Women's Day 🙌

[@cleophee8975]

My friend often takes a piss out of me and it sometimes really does my head in but I try to get a grip over it because I know she's just joking I mixed everything lol, I hope it's correct though?

[@danielsandoval4480]

That's how we demonstrate interesting in learning, paying attention...

[@khalidakram]

[@itz_vijay3858]

Wow..

[@priyanshigupta7927]

Awesome.

[@joseppradipa]

Awesome

[@Jm-fy8qc]

You are doing such an amazing job with your lessons, Elliott! I moved to Cambridge, UK half a year ago and I have been noticing these expressions been used around me all the time. But it's really useful to have them explained properly.

[@davidhamilton9565]

Very good teacher. Genuine and considerate. Cannot fault the delivery, accessible and knowledgeable. Thank you.

[@mar4336]

[@georgeretevoescu6146]

You're an amazing online teacher! The best one! Respect!

[@hazizilamsin]

Hi Mr. ETJ, your reaction and expression when teaching actually attract people too learn more about british. Maybe it took years too learn about british. Greeting from Malaysia

[@kubra7179]

Normally I have hard times in understanding English accent. You are the first Engilish that I can understand without subtitle.

[@alejandrostipic9261]

I'm agree with you that the idioms that teachers teach us are very old. Thank you for the video, it was very useful to me.

[@bnu2b]

I love how Elliot adds cool background music in the begginig of the vids to make them sound more .. erm.. cinematic?

[@andressierra4440]

this lesson is really useful! I always wanted to learn more idioms like these

[@enquiriesgraphology755]

Your communicative skills are very well developed... you describe everything very clearly indeed. As a UK person I feel that you could do yet more programmes on British idioms and expressions. Perhaps a lot of people abroad will be familiar with "sick as a parrot" - as we know, widely used, and nothing to do with being ill at all. Bravo. Very good communications skills.

[@fingolfirn8189]

Thanks, mate. I really appreciate your video. I only know American English, but due to academic reasons I need to learn the British English. Cheers,

[@xiaoyuyang7849]

At the end of the day; get a grip/ make an effort/get some self control/ a piece of piss/ take the piss out of sb

[@thesecondtonone9204]

Thanks to the internet ,and loads of thanks for you to give us the chance to refine our British pronunciation

[@LuisGarcia-ni5vb]

"Get a grip" is a musical album of Aerosmith band too, thanks useful video.

[@svitlanaradzevych1153]

Thank you for the lesson! It’s really important to use modern idioms, not those from our schoolbooks!

[@chunghoang3945]

This is my first time watching your vlog about the idiomatic languages and what amazed me is about how practical those - the idiom you gave were. Btw keep it up! Cheerio! Wish you have a good day also come along with a good vibe then spread them out through your vids. Very inspiring! Thx.

[@МилаГвоздева-в8г]

Your pronunciation is absolutely the same we were taught long ago in my students years. I am listening as if you are talking my native language which is Russian. Thanks for the up-today idioms! The more, the better!

[@longnguyen9638]

Good Teacher Elliot! You're bringing a lot of words to us. Thank you so much.

[@zdravkar1003]

I’m not sure what is more attractive about you- your way of explaining, your pronunciation or your eyes. 😃

[@armandcouleur3365]

I want to learn more english, but the vocabulary is so vast... I need to get a grip... I think idioms are a funny way to learn instead of single words 😌 Thank you for the encouragement! I feel empowered 🌌

[@ishwarsubedi5004]

I like your teaching style. Your voice is clear.I like to see many more videos like this. Thank you so much.

"I absolutely love English classes while Chemistry ones really do my head in"

[@SidSiu]

Today I went to play tennis with my friends. The weather was quite bad & really drove me round the bend. However, by the time we started the game, the weather became better and every players were over the moon. As usual, it was just a piece of piss for me to play tennis with my friends. All of a sudden, it started raining. I talked to myself that I needed to get a grip of the situation. The changing weather had in fact done my head in. The next day when I met my friends, they were under the weather because of the rain and we took the piss out of each other about the funny moment of playing tennis while raining. We remembered our coach told us not to play tennis on that day after checking the weather forecast. We finally got sick. But, at the end of the day, we got fantastic moment filled with great laugh and funny faces. Thanks for your professional lecture & I really enjoyed it. Please let me know if there is any area for improvement in my examples. Cheers! Sidney from Hong Kong

[@lucianaslaen5280]

Loved this video! Thank you! I liked "over the moon" I'll try to start using it. I've seen "to be on cloud nine" (meaning: very happy) in some books. Is that one currently used in British English?

[@lisaguy3813]

Yes it is

[@tamarkochakidze1878]

Thank you Elliott, Your channel is the most useful!

I enjoy your channel. I find it fascinating that a few of these current British idioms are older American English (40s-80s) ones that are usually on the way out
