TOP 20 BRITISH ENGLISH EXPRESSIONS & IDIOMS TO SOUND NATIVE IN CONVERSATION | Ysis Lorenna

It is cool you have a slight South Welsh accent! Your English is brilliant by the way. I am native English, from Manchester, and I would not be able to tell you were not British/native English speaker! Yes, most of these proverbs are quite well known in the UK. I have used most of them at some point. Cheers! Edit: The Second to None is probably just a more antiquated way of saying second to nothing, no-one...none also being a negative pronoun from that set. So, breaking it down it is like a race, saying your product (whatever) finishes second to no-one, nothing. Meaning it always wins in a head-to-head race. 2nd Edit: Use your Loaf is actually from Cockney Rhyming slang: Loaf of Bread: Head.

Hi, I’m from Brazil and I have lived in Oxford for 18 years. The first frase I learned was “pulling your leg”. My husband gave a book of such frases to help learn English.xxx

It is just amazing you sound like a native speaker even though you came to the UK as an adult 😮 how did you do that ???👏👏👏🌞 I lived in the UK for 8 years and my English is not even half good as yours 😮

Hi! I’ve been living in the Uk for a over 8 years, I’ve heard a few of the above plus others. A couple that come to mind is that a person is ‘Jack of all trades’ or another one ‘mad as a box of frogs’ 😂

Hello friend!!! Greetings from Brazil

"Bob's yer Uncle" is not quite on it. It's not necessarily easy or simple, though the explanation may make it sound so.
