In Poland we have the proverb " One swallow doesn't make a Spring " , something like that and more .Thank You Rebecca , it was helpful lesson . Have a nice day 🙂
Thank you, I learn a lot with your videos, and I love the way you explain using interesting topics
The morsels of knowledge that you give, Ms. Rebecca, are already so much chewed that we don’t need to chew them further, just have to gulp them down the throat. Great teaching, thanks a lot and God bless.
Thank you very much Ms Rebecca for your great support to educate the students around the world. Stay blessed.
I can learn English with her for hours daily
Thanks!! You are a fantastic teacher !! In Spanish, we say "don´t bite the hand of the one who feeds you" (referring to some dogs that do that with their owners) and it is used with the same meaning as in English.

Hello Miss Rebecca 👋, Thanks your vidoeo . There are many such proverbs in Turkish. For example, What's wrong with one hand Two hands have a voice. What is meant here is; It is a proverb that states that people cannot do difficult and big jobs alone, but success can be achieved if they get help.

Hello everybody! I remember a time when Rebecca had less than 500k subscribers. And I didn't understand why so few people were learning English with her. And I was waiting for 1 million subscribers. And now I'm glad to see that Rebecca's efforts have been appreciated. There are similar proverbs in Belarus. 1. A similar proberb. 2. Don't work like a horse. 3. A similar proberb. 4. Don't screw yourself up. 5. Chickens should be counted in the fall (autumn). 6. Don't bite off more than you can swallow.

I am from Iran ,thanks for your useful teaching.we have already most of the adverbs you mentioned .we say chickens are counted at the end of Autom,but we don't have the second and the fifth ones .
She is a good teacher
Hello Rebecca. In France "don't burn the candle at both ends" means Don't waste your money "don't count your chickens before they hatched" .In France we say "Ne vend pas la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué. ( Don't sell the bear's skin before you've killed it.) if I understood correctly "don't bite off more than you can chew" . In France we say : il ne faut pas avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre (one should not have eyes bigger than one's stomach). Thank you for the lesson.
Godbless you more Ms. Rebecca🙏
