    Hello Ana! Has anyone told you that your channel is the "best thing since sliced ​​bread"? What? No? "Hold your horses", someone has to tell it: there are plenty of teachers on the Internet, but you are the one who best plays all the roles as an actor. Your performances are brilliant. I guess you are told to "break a leg" every time you shoot a new video, which seems obvious -you don't need to address the "elephant in the room" to know it-. I'm becoming a "couch potato" watching your performances!!! I "go bananas" with them, as well as with your enlightening teachings..... In a nutshell: you rock! 😎

Such videos on informal idioms and expressions are helpful to foreign learners who have been brought up on a staple diet of sublime literature and weighty essays by masters such as Russell , Huxley and Snow . Keep up your good work .
