Hi there! Nice class! One suggestion for you: another lesson with expressions similar to these ones. Examples: play by ear / wing it, at odds / fall out...
I love the way you use the expressions as real examples at the end of the lesson. By the way, they're both useful and enjoyable. Keep It Up🎉
I'm not good at English. Usually my speaking come under the fire but after watching your vedios, I can clear the air regarding my speaking. It's beyond a shadow of doubt that these phrases gonna help me. There could be mistakes in above sentences but it's a trail and error.
Thanks for your help. I love the way you explain how to pronounce each word, taking into account joints and so on
thanks, it's the best explanation of how exactly to pronounce "THE" finally, I know how it sounds correctly.))

This is beyond a shadow of a doubt that this video is extremely useful. I don't want to go with the flow and therefore I'm looking for more difficult exercises for my brain.

Even though, I knew the majority of these idioms, these were pretty good ones! Just one observation about the usage of the idiom " To go with the flow" in the dating world. When I notice someone that I really like trying to stringing me along with the phrase "Let's go with the flow" I often say " Thanks but no thanks. Only dead fish go with the flow. Bye!" .... Nice lesson, Wes!! Looking forward to starting my speaking classes and learn more from you!

Well, it is beyond a shade of a doubt to claim your videos are top notch and egregiously awesome. I am gonna take it to the bank, that is for sure. Without much jumping to conclusions, I am just gonna state here that we are all in a loop(with the help of your videos) when It comes to legit and solid expressions people tend to use daily. And just your ability to knock us all for a loop, alone, does give me and all the learners goosebumps. Therefore, it is not just down the drain, rather gives us the Light at the end of the tunnel and doesn't just let us to count our eggs before they hatch since with you it is much more engaging to learn these Idioms. I bet people are in the loop and head over heels with ya. Your stunning style of teaching does it the proper justice. Keep it that way.
This channel is excellent. I've been looking for this since long time ago .

It was like always, Mr. Wes - excellent. Your pronunciation component make any other topic 100% useful, much more practical; however, a little more challenging. By the by, this set is quite difficult to remember and use. At least for me. Thank you very much.
