Hello my dear teacher lucy, I learned a lot of things from you. There is a big difference in me after watching all of your videos. I love to learn English a lot. When I found your video I had a passion to learn English. I'm from Sri Lanka. I'm still 13 years old. I would rather like to come to your country as well in the future. Eventually, I want to thank you. if there isn't any channel called English with lucy I couldn't speak English that much. Love you my dear teacher lucy💛

@sayumdi sadesna, your English is very good! Well done for putting in such effort to learn a foreign language - it takes a lot of work and perseverance. I thought I’d offer you a correction, to improve even more. I’m a native English speaker. “Hello, my dear teacher, Lucy. I’ve learned a lot of things from you.

Hello teacher Lucy, I learned a lot of english lessons from your videos, literally I learned from this channel.I don't even have good English teachers in my school So, I started watching this channel and it improved my English very well. These lessons will be useful in my future 😊 Thank you very much

[@ivystephanie4747]

OMG I love your British accent. I do think British accent is difficult, but I discovered that I could hear every word without even looking at your lips. I wish I could speak like you🥺❤❤

[@zaziki-tv_-_I_am_Michalis]

Thank you, Lucy, great lesson for me. For you now. Germans say "...as clear as dumpling broth." "...as fit as a trainer" (Sneaker). "...as pale as the wall." "To sleep like a stone". "Sharp as Oskar." (Who is?) "...as flat as a plank."

[@PepeInRedAndGreen]

In Polish we also say "as pale as a wall" 😊

[@strawberrypond7310]

I have enjoyed her videos while sitting at home on COVID quarantine. I live in California USA. Her speech is so proper and such a cute accent. I got a simile for a dumb person, not the brightest or sharpest crayon in the box.

[@fuchsadler]

In German our equivalent to "as fit as a fiddle" or "as right as rain" is "Fit wie ein Turnschuh" which translates to something like "As fit as one shoe of a pair of trainers"

[@larrystowe2761]

I love all of your videos , I've used most if these phrases all my life. My mum was from Norwich, and I was born in Windsor. And my name is Larry. I've still got relatives in the UK, but since my mum has passed I'll have to research it myself. Keep these videos coming, I love all of them.

[@vjacquemet]

Hello Lucy ! I would like to say first thank you for your videos ! They're really helping ! And for the expression as wise as a owl it's because the owl was the favorite animal of Athena, godess of wisdom, intelligence and war in mythology 😊

[@thomasboushier2972]

V JACQUEMET: Okay, but in English, "owl" is a noun that begins with a vowel, so we say "an owl", not "a owl"...

[@vjacquemet]

Thank you very much, Lucy. I really enjoy your classes and learn a lot from you. Please keep on uploading videos. Hope one day I can go to England to experience the British culture in person. Best wishes for you. Love you.🫶🏻

In Danish we often use similes to indicate an opposite. Like as clear as mud we say as clear as ink. My favorite is "As interesting as watching paint dry."

Hello Lucy! I am from Asia and most people here like American accent more. I actually adopted your accent you'd be surprised to listen to me speaking because I absolutely sound like you. Unfortunately when I use British accent not a single person seems to understand me . I can't get two words in. It's a pity though😑

Larry Foley was an australian boxer who never lost a fight. His last fight was in the 1870's, he was paid the vast sum of £1000 and won the fight - "hence as happy as Larry".

Hi Lucy. I love your videos. I've learned so many new vocabulary and phrases lately from you. I suppose it is time to listen to daily real English from different native speakers to go forward. To do this I'd be appreciated if you tell me the ways how to watch UK televisions free from abroad. It is essential that if I can find the chance of watching not only tv series or movies but also the news and the other tv programmes in their daily stream. Look forward to see new videos from you. Cheers from Turkey :)

It originates from a boxer called Larry Foley in the 1890s, before boxing was fully legalised. He won the biggest prize of about $150,000 dollars and a newspaper article in New Zealand had the headline “Happy As Larry” and the phrase stuck.
