@@LearnEnglish_lifetips yes, level the playing field and roll with the punches are expressions quite interesting, nevertheless, is really helpful as well "draw the line". Would it be like to "set a boundary", isn't it?

Marina, I've been following ya for 3 years and tho being an Indian I couldn't speak in Indian accent and sometimes it gets a little hard for me to understand Indian English accent when conversation starts goin' fast, cuz I speak only in kinda American accent but am pretty satisfied with my accent cuz it's way more relaxing to pronounce. Wanna thank you Marina, gotta do much more things, want to meet you once in my life, Love ya 🤍

Congratulations for your achievement!! I was living in Texas for 15 years and returned to Tokyo last year, I thought of applying for US citizenship but I didn't because I needed to give up Japanese citizenship, so I'm very happy for your life decision! Anyway, I can tell that I'm losing my English skills every day and your videos have been very practical for me to remind myself how American people speak, I really appreciate that!! Thank you!!

Native English speaker here. "Taking the high road" meaning is more of not allowing others bad behavior influence you to match their bad behavior. "She was so rude and insulted me, but I'm going to take the high road, and ignore her." Hope this helps😊

Great video! Thank you for posting this. I find it sometimes difficult to get myself "immersed" in English as I am not a native and not living in an English-speaking country. Idioms definitely provide this "immersion". Plus, talking to my toddler exclusively in English ;-)

Dear Marina! Well-done! Congratulations on your brand new US citizenship! Please keep up the good job you have been doing now for quite a while, "spoiling" us with huge bunches of idioms, slang and all sorts of native-sounding stuff!To tell you the truth, being a professional translator, I have learnt a lot from you. Actually way more than from any other KZbinrs I follow,

[@yialn]

Something that i find extremely helpfull is to try to use them all in a made up converstation. For e.g: you need to stop getting hammerd and pay the piper. Or You nedd to stop rolling with the punches and draw the line for him , i say it's worth a shot ,stop making a great deal out of it.

3:44 “a friend suggests writing off” or “…suggests that you write off” would have been grammatically correct. Anyway, to err is human. Otherwise, a very informative video as usual.

[@srtboysvlog]

My favourite teachers love you ma'am 😊😊

The idiom "on fire" is very interesting. I'm Hungarian, we also use something similar, but it means the exact opposite in Hungarian in my country. "He was burning" means failed or humiliated or something like these. "Fiery", this is said for animals during mating season. :)

[@ibrahimallahjabo]
