Decades ago, I started working for an airline in Hong Kong and was pleased to have some experienced coworkers showed me the ropes. In fact, I had on job training for a month before I worked by myself.

[@Katusa22k]

Very useful, thanks a lot! I knew some of them, but it was useful for me to revise them. And I was glad to learn some new ones. And it is a great idea to provide examples how to use them in sentences. You're doing a great job with your videos.

[@1sergiogamez]

Dear Emma, I have been following your channel for quite some years now. Thank you very much. I am an English teacher who uses a conversational method to give my classes. As part of easing the learning curve for my students, I recommend them to watch your prepositions of time and place videos. Maybe I should begin by telling you how I got my foot in the world of teaching English. It was almost unintentionally; I hadn't been doing very well at college and I flunked a semester so my parents encouraged me to teach one-on-one English, Physics and Math. I bought a small ad at a magazine in my city and that is when I discovered my devotion to English language. By that time I was starting to study Engineering, but, as a youngster, I didn't want to rock the boat in my family by switching careers. I feel like I was thrown in the deep end. Well maybe that's a bit of an exaggerated statement. Being the oldest one in a family of 5 siblings gave 😌 me plenty of opportunities to develop intuition, patience and character. Helping with the homework of my siblings and friends made light work of this job. On the other hand, with my current clients it is essential to bite my tongue so they can learn to self-correct, especially regarding pronunciation. Again, thank you very much for your extremely valuable lessons, you keep me on my toes professionally.

[@consorciasantiago4009]

I have heard most of these idioms and yes they mean exactly what I understood them to be. Thank you. Well done.

[@andreafixes]
