[@Crisguay]

I fancy it, of course! ☕ But what I most fancy at this time of the afternoon is one of these videos of yours. So thanks for being here again with more of your teachings, and with that cuppa!🤗

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thank you for watching, Cristina 🙂

[@albatrosyotrasalbas1645]

When you learn a language on your own, without having classes I mean, you learn words and lists and idioms and so on, but you often lack exhaustive explanations. Until Ben comes up. Thank you

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

My pleasure 🙂

[@mariabaroumi9383]

Perfect timing ! I've just sat down to enjoy a cuppa coffee !

[@marylkap6498]

Fancy a cuppa? In such company? Always a pleasure 😍

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Likewise 😃

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

It is of paramount importance to keep a health diet to be fit

[@Krmly]

Fancy a cuppa? With you, of course!! And the green-blue colour range of your room is so fancy that also matches with your shirt!

[@montesierra717]

Super useful lesson. Thanks!

[@innosanctum]

Loud and clear, as always. Thank you very much!

[@risatedarte5366]

Great video 🤗

[@valentina-2289]

I passed the C1 ! I’m here because I wanted to say Thank you. Ben, you ‘ve been extremely helpful for my exam preparation . You’re a brilliant teacher and I Wish you all the best. Valentina

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's great, Valentina! Congratulations! Thanks for your comment. All the best Ben

[@eugeniakovalevska1352]

Thank you! 💛

[@nosycatUK]

When I came to England I didnt know at that time that dinner in UK is called tea . I remember how one of my English colleagues asked me " what are you having for tea ?" I went " a cookie.." he went a cookie?" I went , yeah, a cup of tea with a Cookie. After 8 years we still laugh at this situation 🤣 That's an idea for a new video 🤣

[@user-ny6ph5cs9i]

Thank you, Ben. I fancy your lessons. I’m preparing for my exam in June 🙃

[@pq0192]

Brillant! Keep going making new videos, which are very useful! Thanks!😊

Hi Ben! Great lesson and so interesting! In my city,Prato(Italy) there is a restaurant called Fancy King,I finally get to know the meaning. Thanks a lot😊

[@robertfiala1540]

i fancy watching your videos Ben!

[@margaritamagg]

Hi, Ben. I really like your fancy examples :) and this 'fantasy'-'fancy' associations help a lot! I've always avoided using 'fancy' because I've never known how to use it correctly. Today it's my day no.1 I'll incorporate this word to my personal dictionary :) best wishes 🎉

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Great! 💪

[@claudiareginateixeira2662]

Hello from Brasil. While you were explaining the meanings of the word "fancy" I came across with the fancy coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla memories. I believe the entire world sttopped for a while to follow that Historical Coronation. Congratulation.

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

A lot of people are blissfully unaware of wars around the world. Jan Nowak rekindled the passion for Political Geography

[@KhaledMohamed-tu2cb]

I can't thank you enough.

[@englishforadvancedlearners]

Thank you for this informative video, a lot of those meanings were entirely new to me. 'The many meanings of' might become a series, mightn't it? Looking for fancy words is not a passing fancy for me. By the way you put a fancy greenish touch to your video, nice!

[@risatedarte5366]

👍

[@mikopurnomo4416]

That's great explanation sir, anyway i love green concept at your studio, it's looks like fresh...

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's good to know, thanks

[@marcelxmaier]

Hi Ben, I took my CAE-Exam yesterday and I just wanted to thank you for all your videos, they were utterly helpful for preparing for the exam. So excited for my results 😁

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome, Marcel. Thanks for the message. Let me know when you get the results

[@marcelxmaier]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. Hi Ben, I just received my results and I am a bit disappointed. I scored 199 😅 A bit sad that I could not achieve the C2 level but I am still happy. I scored 210 points in listening, which was utterly surprising because I had mixed feeling at the end of the part

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You shouldn't be disappointed with that score, Marcel! I understand your frustration at being so close to C2 level but 199 is excellent! Congratulations 👏👏👏

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

Many parents garnish dishes with some colorful products to draw their kid's attention and stimulate their appetite

[@DAG_M]

As far as I know. Fancy: What to have or do sth Feel sexual attraction Believe sth is true Believe someone will be successful Extraodrinary I haven't watched yet, but I think some of these will definietely cover.

[@katerinasstory]

I love the way you describe it!

[@moiseeva_am_i]

I can watch and listen to your videos endlessly - so pleasant voice and so detailed explanation make me deeply involved every time! And I hope it won't be a passing fancy 😅

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's nice, Julia! I hope it's not a passing fancy too

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

The optimum decision is to adorn outfits with diamonds so they shine on the podium during a fashion week

[@gianluigigaleota6632]

Fancy shirt, Ben!

[@martinjokes1610]

I fancy this drink

[@jemle775]

My cae exam was this morning. You helped me a lot, thank you. I didn't do amazing, but i think it was enough.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Well done! I'm glad my videos helped

[@satyamkaskar1034]

Fancy a good sleep 😴

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

I dread all of my exams though I have a perspective on materials and still have some time

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

You are doing well in your writing, but if I could weigh in, I would reread your prompt to be accurate while answering stated questions

[@dheerajsinghnagdali]

You're a great actor by the way. If you weren't a teacher, you would be an actor for sure!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Haha! Maybe I could change career 🙂

[@juanjortegaaliaga5133]

Like when Ben talks bout your fancy shirt and you saw it and it has a hole and is old hahaha. Next time that I watch this video I will try to wear my Versace shirt ))

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😆

[@michaeltirentive4718]

If I remember correctly, "Fance that!" was said by Moody in Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows Pt 1, when Fred/George didn't "fancy that color", which meant they didn't like it and he meant "you have no choice but to like it"

[@aram5642]

"As a team lead it's important to..." - is this syntax correct, or is it incorrect, or is it incorrect but widely accepted?

[@freddiemercury8700]

Of course I do fancy a brew! Put the kettle on, will ya? I hope you have some Yorkshire tea bags, I will have mine milky, full fat milk would be great please, with some few biscuits per favour. Always a pleasure seeing you. Greetings from Casablanca Morocco. Take care for now and stay mellow gaffer

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Black, no sugar for me. Nice and strong ☕ and with a couple of custard cream biscuits

[@freddiemercury8700]

I did not know you were a builder too, as well as a teacher 😂😉🌻

[@fleurblanche7642]

Fancy her being in love with that man I think it is just a passing fancy a sheer flight of fancy for someone radically different from all others

[@risatedarte5366]

🥰

[@laurajamil8943]

Fancy seeing you in a tutu!😁

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

[@martinjokes1610]

Fancy a beer

[@bilkissumayah1034]

Hi sir what does it mean, my boyfriend saved me in his phone as fancy . Is it bad or

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

Sometimes, my home girl comes across as a bit rude, but that is just her jerk-knee reaction. She is of paramount importance to me. I can put up with some negative qualities and iron them out differences to move forward

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

I was rendered speechless when my elder sister eloped with a government official. Our mother was rendered speechless when her daughter became pregnant

[@user-qo1ws7tc8k]

I extol the virtues of journalists who fight against disinformation and bribery

[@learheya]

Such a hard word 😩 So many meanings 😿

[@ayb100]

One has to be careful in spelling/pronouncing fancy when one uses "Tickle your fancy" while addressing a female :) It could lead to a disastrous situation.

[@nosycatUK]

Thank you

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome 🙂

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

Btw I dont think Madrid will manage to beat City this time. Time will tell lol

[@draminhos4391]

At the beginning of the video you looked like an Australian😂

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Really? 🤔

[@marylkap6498]

Fancy that ! 🙃 Btw could you explain what you mean by that. That is what an Australian look like, in your opinion 🤩

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]
