[@AmeraAlawer]

Amazing ! thank you .

[@highlevellistening]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@AmeraAlawer]

May I ask a question ? How to use /not the least/as an answer . And what does it mean? Thanks.

[@highlevellistening]

The phrase "not in the least" is an idiomatic expression used to emphasize a strong denial or negation. It means "not at all" or "absolutely not." When used as an answer, it's a way to emphatically reject a suggestion, idea, or question that was posed, indicating that the speaker disagrees completely or is not affected in any way by what was mentioned. Here's an example of how "not in the least" can be used in conversation: Person A: "Were you bothered by the noise last night?" Person B: "Not in the least. I slept right through it." In this example, Person B uses "not in the least" to strongly convey that the noise did not bother them at all. Hope that helps!

[@AmeraAlawer]

Thank you , your efforts are very much appreciated

[@juancarlosrodriguez6178]

Besides pop by and drop by. You guys said "pop into". So, could I say "drop into the shop" too or only with "pop"? Thanks a lot guys. Nice channel 🙌🎉

[@highlevellistening]

Very good question. I would say no. You can say: - I need to pop into the shop. - I need to drop by the shop - I need to swing by the shop - I need to pop to the shop. All of these are accepted and have the same meaning too! It's always a great learning method to try combinations and ask if they are common or not, so well done 👏

[@littledody1]

Oh my gosh! These days before school start, to do list is pretty packed. First off, i need to hit to the grocery store fore some essentials but it end up with hours in store unfortunately to grab everything i liked. After that, i need to hit the shop store for some essentials like backpack pencil clothes for school but unfortunately also i spend hours as usually 😂. Then there 's a quick stop at the pharmacy for a prescription refill. In the afternoon, i 'm planning to donate some old clothes , books, furniture at goowill store and if i manage to squeeze in some extra time. I 'll return a couple of overdue library books.But then, i'll need to head home and stat getting dinner ready. Just a typical day, really.

[@highlevellistening]

haha, yes! I always end up buying too much at the grocery store hehe, at least the trip to the pharmacy is quick 😂 thank you so much for practicing with us today! We really appreciate it!

[@СветланаЕфремова-ф1н]

Drop by - is usually used when you visit people, not go places

[@highlevellistening]

That was a good point, we often use it with people!

[@ManalAltairy]

Thank you ❤ Is the word " overwhelmed " is negative or we can use it in a positive way?

[@highlevellistening]

Hi there, overwhelmed usually means stressed or having too many things going on in a stressful and negative way, however it can also be used to mean much more than expected, like “we were shocked by the overwhelming response from our friends and neighbors” which can also be more positive, but it’s still a lot to deal with!

[@ManalAltairy]

@highlevellistening thank you for your response, so the sentence, I am overwhelmed by your kindness is completely wrong!?

[@highlevellistening]

I was "overwhelmed by your kindness" is totally correct. In this sentence, overwhelmed means it was more than I expected, in a positive and surprising way :)

[@abderrahmanekassi4302]

good morning; we say : students have " a to do liste homework" ! can we say : "manage have a to do liste OUTWORK"

[@highlevellistening]

I would say: For studying: "My students have to do [their listening] homework." For cleaning / tidying: "I have to do [some housework]."

[@ManalAltairy]

running errands nip/ hit Go through them so they go off Staples= essential I am off to work Parcel bits and Bob A thrift store Overdue Dash home

[@highlevellistening]

Great list of vocab!

[@olesyahladkova7399]

Hello, you used 'for a cheap price', when you were talking about a charity shop. I'm wondering if that is correct in English? I'm leaning more towards a low price or a cheap thing. Can you comment please?

[@highlevellistening]

We have a few different ways to express the same idea along with the ones you mentioned. Low/cheap/good/normal/high/expensive prices Cheap prices sound like the cost is low Cheap goods/items/things could also mean that the quality is not very good, even if you paid a higher price for it Hope that helps!

[@olesyahladkova7399]

Absolutely, thank you​@@highlevellistening!

Can I say that mymain goal is..... or my essential goal is to know...... maybe it the same thing?Thanks

[@highlevellistening]

It definitely feels more common to say my main goal is to…. My biggest goal is to… The most important goal I made is to…. My essential goal doesn’t quite sound right, so feel free to use the expressions from above! Thanks for your question! Hope that helps

"i hit a grocery store" is as same as "i swung by a grocery store" or not 😅 ?

[@highlevellistening]

Swing by is when I have other things to do, and hit is going quickly so yes they can be similar! I’ll swing by the grocery store on my way home. I’ll hit the grocery store before work.
