Oh Emma , I thump up your video before watching it. Because I know in advance I will like it. I offer you this idiom: al fresco outside • We ate al fresco under the olive trees. • An al fresco performance of The Tempest was the highlight of our visit.

[@dianaromano6824]

Hi Emma, I have a strong connection with food and my favourite idiom so far is "you can not make an omelette without breaking eggs". I hope to find more food idioms on you Chanel.

[@sari6522]

Thank you Emma :) 'it's not rocket science' is my favorite In my native language, we have something similar we say (literally translating) "it's not atomic science'

[@mrslizzen]

Hi lovely teacher! Watch your videos is enrich our vocabulary! I had no idea about many of these idioms even living in England,well I live in Yorkshire haha Love the end of the video lol

" Back to the drawing board" : having a second thought to reconsider , re-evaluate available options again, one of my favorites as we use it quite a lot at work, back and forward:). Ex: All the interviewed candidates failed, back to the drawing board on this. Thank you teacher Emma for the valuable lesson , have noted all of the idioms.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this one too! :)

[@eugenialitovchenko8577]

I think "That ship has sailed" is my favourite idiom. By the way, we have similar one, it sounds like "the train is off":)

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

That's so interesting! I wonder why yours is a train and ours is a ship! Haha

[@yanisyoudas2479]

the same for us in Algeria we use the train instead of the ship 😄

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

No way! That’s so interesting! I’m even more curious to know why we say ship and you guys say train! Haha. Maybe it’s due to the geography of the countries. If you’re closer to water and have many ports hen maybe you’re more likely to use ship 🤔 I really don’t know! Haha

[@yanisyoudas2479]

@@Pronunciationwithemma we say 'the train has left' means as well it's too late but I really ignore the reason why? although we're closer to water hhh😄

[@eugenialitovchenko8577]

@@Pronunciationwithemma yeah, it's really interesting!) I tried to find out why, but didn't find anything about this topic( I think trains were and still are more popular than ships in our countries:)

[@albertopassannante]

Thanks for the lesson delivered on your KZbin Channel, very useful, Pardon me, even though I am very grateful for your commitment, I would have liked it to be broadcasted without the background music.

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Hey Alberto, sadly there's no pleasing everyone and when I don't have the music people complain and say it's boring, and then when I add it slightly in the background people complain. Not all my videos have background music if they focus on pronunciation, but some have it simply because more people request it. The background music during the actual explanation of this video is set to an incredibly low and unobtrusive volume too. Cheers.

[@davidefaggian4031]

Good morning Emma I am a bit confused about two idioms: get the wrong end of the stick and at crossing purposes. I was asking about my family and you told me about mine. When you said lunch on Sunday I thought you were talking about this Sunday and not the next. Which sentence refers to which and why ? Looking forward to,your reply Cheers

[@Mamoussati]

Hello! I love the last one " to see I to eye" . Can we say " I see eye to eye with my boss " sorry for the silly question ☺

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Yup :)

[@Abdullah12.96]

Person A : I think teacher Emma is the best English teacher 👩‍🏫 Person B : oh yeah you can say that again 😉

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Abdullah Alyousef hahaha! The best example so far! 😄

[@adamsmith5366]

"To kill two birds with one stone". We have the same almost literally in Turkey. Just we use "to hit" instead of "to kill". I am wondering who stole from who 😊

[@last_avenger]

Also we have the same meaning " to shoot two rabbits with one axis "😀😀👍👍👍 in UZBEKISTAN ❤️❤️

[@last_avenger]

So I'm wondering who stole from whose words

[@valentinajesuscaceresarias3013]

In Spanish (at least in Chile) we use exactly same sentence!!

[@nadaelaraby7578]

Like us in Egypt we have the same here as well 😅

[@antoniojr.lophez9623]

Can I use these expressions in American English?

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Jhunnyor Lophez I can’t see why not, but honestly, I’m not North American so I don’t want to give you any false or misleading information. If I were you, I’d ask an American English speaking teacher as they’ll know better than me 🙂

Hey Fabio, don't confuse idiom with idioma, they're false friends. Un idioma is a language, an idiom is una expresión. Do you have a favourite idiom from the video?
