Hello Leila english teaching the lessons create some thing new words to learn some of them are know and not know becouse never have use familiar daily life thanks to you

[@manzumanarabegum7701]

Super excellent lesson!

[@fabrice9252]

You're so right Leila! Learning and becoming familiar with the expressions, idioms and phrases is so important because they are so much used on a daily basis and also they make the richness and 'colour' of the language. I dunno if you studied a bit of French next to Italian and Spanish but I know Sabrah did so here are some common equivalents in French you'll maybe find interesting: 1) I'm afraid I can't J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir .... Then you can give a reason like Je suis vraiment désolé mais j'ai déjà autre chose de prévu....etc. 2) Over my dead body Ah non! Plutôt mourir ! Il faudra me passer sur le corps ! Sur mon cadavre ! Jamais de la vie ! 3) It's not really my thing! C'est pas trop mon truc/mon 'trip' ! Ex: Non, merci mais c'est pas trop mon truc en fait ! 4) I would jump at the chance! Je sauterais sur l' occasion / Je foncerais sans hésiter / je n' hésiterais pas une seconde ... 5) How could I say no to that! Comment refuser ! / Comment pourrais-je refuser ! / Comment dire non ! .... 6) Would you like to get a coffee/glass/drink...? Wanna grab a coffee? Tu prends un café ? / Tu bois un coup ? / Tu prends un verre ? ... (or you can use the more polite 'vous prenez' if you don't know the person well) 7) Wait! (Attends/Attendez ! ) Hang on! could/would you hang on? excuse(z)-moi une seconde/minute ! Patiente(z) un instant s.v.p. ! ... 8) Hold your horses! On se calme ! / du calme ! / Attends un peu ! / Minute papillon ! ... 9) Gimme a sec! (Donne-moi/laisse moi) une seconde/minute ! Donnez-moi/Laissez-moi une seconde/minute ! 10) Hurry up! (Dépêche-toi ! fam: Magne-toi ! Grouille-toi ! ...) Dépêchez-vous ! Magnez-vous ! Grouillez-vous ! Don't dilly dally Ne traine(z) pas ! Ne lambinez pas ! 11) Stop faffing about/around! arrête(z)/cesse(z) de traîner/tourner en rond/tergiverser ! 12) Why? (pourquoi ?) how come? Comment se fait-ce ? Comment ça se fait ? Comment se fait-il ? 13) Can you help me? Would you ming giving me a hand? Could you give me a hand? Peux-tu/pouvez-vous me donner un coup de main (s.v.p.) ? Pourrais-tu/pourriez-vous me donner un coup de main (s.v.p.) ? 14) What do you fancy? Que veux-tu ? Que désires-tu ? Que souhaites-tu ? Que voulez-vous ? Que désirez-vous ? Que souhaitez-vous ? Or with the 'est-ce que' as you know very used in French: Qu' est-ce que tu veux/désires/souhaites ? Qu'est-ce que vous voulez/désirez/souhaitez ? More polite using the conditional: Que voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais-tu ? Que voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez-vous ? qu'est-ce que tu voudrais/désirerais/souhaiterais ? Qu'est-ce que vous voudriez/désireriez/souhaiteriez ? Note: A perfect example where you see how English is way much simpler than French, right? 😂 15) What's wrong? What's up? Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ? Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe ? Que se passe-t-il ? Qu' y-a-t-il ? 16) Long time no see! ça faisait longtemps ! ça fait un bail ! ça fait une paye ! Depuis le temps ! .... To be followed ... 🥰🌹🧡

Wow Leila! My goodness! What a gift! What a gem! How I loved that lesson !!! Honestly I just didn't see the 15 minutes pass. I totally lost the track of time that flew off in a blink of an eye. Not only all the expressions were absolutely amazing but I laugh my ass off all the lesson long (especially the part related to the 'I made a a mistake' alternatives 😂). Your humour and facial expressivity are a real treat and pleasure! It was very rhythmic and edgy; clear, fluid, accurate, expressive and rather straight to the point or ... How to learn without even realising! 👍 Probably the greatest compliment a teacher can receive I guess ... Both you and Sabrah are incredible teachers. Your British voices and accent are to me like the epitome of the English language and a real climax to my ears !!! Thanks a million for that. I just ...love you my sweeties 👏👏👏... I feel like that lesson is gonna be a hit! Gros bisous Leila! You rocked it, you kicked ass... That was downright fantastic 🥰😘🌹🌹🧡🧡💕💕 ........+ ∞ I think I'm gonna watch this endlessly ...

I really liked "cocked it up" - it sounds pretty much like the four-letter word in this sense, and "I don't give a crap" sounds just fine as well. Just found "I don't give a flying crap" is also acceptable, or rather unacceptable, and most amazing, "I don't give a rat's behind".

Really Thanks so much for your video, it's really very useful for me to understand the native English speakers, I really like it cos these English expressions I were never taught in local school in Hong Kong. You know what? the expression "Long time no see" , this one I totally understand it, cos this expression is a Chinese word directly translated to an English word. The Chinese English teachers always laugh that students should not say in this way, cos it's "a very Chinese "English expression. But now is a Native English Speaker like you to say it is more native way to express "Haven't seen you for ages"is "Long Time No See " Is it ridiculous?!

Sans blague ?! Tu plaisantes ?! .... Tu rigoles ?! ... slang/colloquial: tu déconnes ? ... Hope you'll like it. Bisous 🥰🌹🧡 Funny fact: In English the 'C' word is the most taboo! In French 'con!' is very used and one of the most popular, along with 'merde!' of course! Sorry, excuse my French! ;-) 😂 Or should I say maybe: Excuse my English! like you Leila! (thanks by the way! 😂) In fact 'un con' originally designated the female pudenda and therefore the same thing as a 'c--t' but it hasn't the same vulgar or dirty connotation in French ! (For example Georges Brassens or Pierre Perret used it in many songs with that 'erotic' sense). Then it derived to mean a prick/moron/twat/idiot .... So it can be rude when you insult someone calling them un 'con' with a derogative, offensive tone. But, just like in English in certain context, a rude term can also be used as a term of 'endearment' with friends so you can call a friend 'un con!' when he says a nonsense or pulls /plays you a prank/trick/joke for example. So you would say to him: T'es con ! T'es un con ! Quel con ! .... ;-)

Everything seems so obvious but... How to apply these in daily life?😩 The method is only one, practice 😄 As usual knowledge of English is enormous but using much worse 😭

It is in your answer to Carlos Henrique below! ;-) I promise you're gonna be shocked yourself ...:-) You 'shamely' wrote: "You’re comments are always appreciated" Possessive YOUR! and not 'you are=you're' which here doesn't mean a thing ... I'm sure even Francesco would fall over with a feather seeing it! 😂😂. ...Or maybe he is the one who writes the comments?! 😂😂😂 I'm kidding of course! .... ;-) I know he's brilliant. Hi to him and best wishes 2022! :-) You spotted it? P.S: Of course Leila don't take me too seriously. (That's the contrary of me.) Being serious without taking oneself seriously! is the deal ;-) My love and admiration are absolutely not impaired by what one could think is an insignificant detail but ... not so much in fact (!) and I'm pretty sure that as a teacher (of the English language namely) you will totally agree with me ... Bisous Leila! 🧡🌹
