Thank you very much, never get bored when learning English from your video.

[@lordalul8878]

Hey Emma. your videos have been really useful for me as a learner and i'm grateful for that, but i wonder if you could do video on British accent speech intonation ?

[@stephensiam6617]

Thank you very much miss for your explaining these difficult English idioms to the easiest way possible to understand in every specific detail now I finally get it what all these means . Specifically the words hang in there this very word is the word that I have been unable to use it properly and fluently since long. But now by the clear guidance and elaborate elucidation of you I am able to use it in my daily life conversation without facing any kinds of difficulties . Thank you very much miss for your unceasing perseverance effort and painstaking exertion to make me learn English thoroughly and fluently. Now by the clear guidance of you I am by far better than ever In English speaking skills. Although I have a lot more to say beyond this regarding my happiness let me conclude my point of view here. If incase my English is wrongly stated in the comments box than miss do rectify and ameliorate as well as revamp my English inscribed I would love to accept and admit my inequity and faulty written without any provocative and resentment state of mind. Last but not the least your way of English teaching is stunningly beautiful and distinctly clear. I love to watch your English teaching video intently miss. May God bless you miss intently as well as stand by you through thick and thin in every step of your life even in the toughest moment and harshest conditions of your life.

[@smartnadus2404]

That's great, thanks.

[@berk835]

Thanks a lot Teacher Emma. Nice presentation. For me the new ones are: 1. Hold your horses 2. Bite the bullet. In the penultimate idiom you said To bite something more than I can chew. But in Teacher Lucy Bella Earl's class, she said it is to eat something more than I can chew. My doubt is this difference due to regional differences of North and South of Britain?

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

I would double check that. I don’t think Lucy will have said that. I’ve never ever heard that expression.

Thank you for your practical lesson as always. By the way, if you say “pull one’s leg” in Japanese, it means getting in the way of one’s success.

[@siddharthkumar1891]

Awesome, so helpful. Thanks 🙏

[@anujarora0]

I love learning about the origin of words and phrases so if you're like me and wondering where the idom "Bite the bullet" comes from, It has been suggested that it is derived historically from the practice of having a patient clench a bullet in their teeth as a way to cope with the pain of a surgical procedure without anesthetic, though evidence for biting a bullet rather than a leather strap during surgery is sparse. BTW I'm wondering if you can make a video about your encounter with (I'm not sure if "encounter" is the right word to use here but hey that's why I'm here in the first place, right?) paranormal. TBH I don't believe in ghosts but c'mon that would be a fun video. Please? Pretty please 🥺

Hello, teacher Emma I missed your lessons.

[@mariatitto]

Hi Emma! love your videos!! pull someone's hear or "tomar el pelo" has its origins from the offense that the act of pulling the beard supposed for the Greeks and Romans, which was a symbol of their dignity. This use throughout the centuries was maintained until the Middle Ages, which, if carried out, could lead to a mortal duel. :)

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Very interesting! 😮

Hi👋 I know you from your interview with Luke You're lovely😍

[@GabrielRodriguesYT]

Congratulations for getting where you're at! 😉

[@ladymorgana2600]

Gladly I know all the idioms used here. But I'm confused about the butterfly one, I have seen its use to express both "nervousness" and "awesome feeling". I'm not quite sure if it is okay to use in the latter situation. :(

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

It’s that weird feeling you get when you’re nervous or even sometimes excited. But usually it’s related to nerves.

[@ladymorgana2600]

Now I understood. Thank you Emma!

I like Spit the Frog 🤣 🐸

[@karlesberto9310]

Before making a decision you need to hold your horses, keep your eyes on the ball for little details and hang it there until your ready. Try not to bite off more than you can chew someone might be just pulling your leg on that situation 😉

[@christoph1128]

In the german language the Idiom „To have butterflies in your stomach“ means „ to be in love with s.o.“🙂

To pull someone's leg has a very different meaning from what I expected =)

It’s tomarle el pelo in Spanish

Y creo que la traduccion de "tomar el pelo" seria "mentira" "Te esta tomando el pelo" =" te esta engañando " = "te esta mintiendo"

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

I’ve heard tomarle el pelo used exactly the same as to pull someone’s leg. Like you are joking or lying (in a joking way to play with them) to someone. It’s exactly the same use.
