IDIOMS to Express Hope & Inspiration | Vocabulary Lesson

In everyday conversation, we use idioms regularly. And today I want to teach you different idioms that you can use to give hope to others and provide some inspiration.
We all want to be able to help our family, friends, and colleagues, so these idioms will allow you to offer reassurance and help them stay positive when facing a difficult situation.
Here are the idioms from the lesson. Hope you learn something new.
1. keep your chin up
2. hang in there
3. break a leg
4. in the bag
5. sky's the limit
6. the world is your oyster
7. light at the end of the tunnel
8. there's plenty of fish in the sea
9. look on the bright side
10. pull yourself together

So keep your fingers crossed and hang in there... ❤

I always pull myself together and look on the bright side of sudden happenings. Just like I lost my job; maybe I was destined to look after my mom who was sudden diagnosed with cancer after I lost my job. However, I truly believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so I just need to keep my chin up and hang in there with faith in God.

What a great teacher you are. I thought I was fluent in English, but by watching your videos I've learned so much. English is a vast language and it would take a lifetime to learn all of is intricacies, for instance it was great the vocabulary lesson in American slang, that where you explained the expression "to call shotguns", I had no idea that that phrase existed and how it was used. Thank you so much for your teachings. You and your wife are just great educators. Thanks, cheers, applauses and a thump up
