Thanks a lot for this lesson Gill ! Dead funny : I guess it's quite similar to the Italian expression "morire dal ridere" which means "dying because of laughing too hard"

Thank you so much for teaching us English, Gill! You're amazing!
Oh, it’s brilliant Gill. Not just only your clear lively explanation for those slangs I rarely used, your speech and style do make me feel you are really a diamond in teaching! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much my dear Teacher for learns us the best of English. God Blessed you today and ever. One hugh in you wonderful people !
Ничего не понимаю, но и так понятно, какой замечательный, милый, прекрасный педагог ❤️ Удача Вам 💐
In German language you find todeslustig = dead funny. It was mentioned already in 1891 in Deutsches Wörterbuch by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

Hi - I don't think of myself as strict - my aim is to give helpful examples of how English is used in day-to-day life :-)
Thank you, Jill, for teaching us these fun and useful slang words. They will definitely come in handy in casual conversations with native English speakers.
Вас очень приятно слушать 💐
Thank you my dear teacher...🙏❤🙏
You are so sweet,calm and collected.Well done !
Thank you so much for sharing with us your wisdom to learn English. 👌❤☺
Dear Jill, thank you for your brilliant lessons. I really enjoy them and especially your nice soft voice. It sounds like a beautiful melody.
Nice class early in the morning. Some of the expressions have similar equivalences into Spanish. I’ m skint: estoy pelado ( i have no money) or I ‘ m knackered : estoy muerto ( very exhausted), etc… 🇪🇸Thank you teacher.

Hello Mayca . Excuse me for intruding . I just wanted to ask you about Spanish language: is it simple to learn it , honestly 😊? And what is the most difficult part in learning it? Thank you
@rubenacevedoacevedo3124

@@bahamansour3178 I think Spanish it's easy to learn in some way because the pronunciation it's standard (the pronunciation doesn't change depending on different words), and also you have only five vowel sounds. However, the grammar could be a little bit tough if you are an English speaker, because you have more tenses and you conjugate verbs (depending on the nouns).

@@rubenacevedoacevedo3124 Seems to me it is just like Arabic language which is so difficult. Hawever , many people encouraged me to learn Spanish language. But bcz i traveled to Africa some years ago i learnt some French. Now i,m boosting what i had learnt ,thx to the youtube. In all languages it is the grammer that's always comlicating and the difficulty varies of course from one language to another. possibly English language remains the easiest among all . Lastly , what is more difficult : Spanish language or Italian language? And is there any similarity between both ? Thank you

Gill, you are so cute and so English: you give us an example of someone apologizing for being 5 minutes late. 🤣 I'm from Argentina, 5 minutes does not even count as "late". You need from 15 minutes on to apologize. It's called "the 15 minutes tolerance".. and, believe it or not, it's a formal thing for some jobs. Although nowadays, everyone keeps you informed via WhatsApp where they are and when exactly are arriving.
Gill has such a sooting manner, her voice, pitch, intonation, patience, knowledge... I always enjoy these videos. Cheers from Brazil!
She's absolutely the best ever.
You're my English's Grandma ❤ I didn't know about The majority of these words Thank You So much
Best English teacher
I have been following the lessons of Professor Gil and I always ending up knowing new things. It's wiiicked! Thank you for all these knowledges professor cool.
Thanks to you, Teacher Gill. By far, the best teacher and the most thoroughly ex planartions. We reaññy appreciate it.
I used to watch firtst Gill lessons while knitting- it was very relaxing and cosy... but now, when new lesson show up, I'm prepared with notebook. This warm lady gives me so much new vocabulary in such a nice form- I don't wanna spill any of her word, that's why I'm always prepared and ready to take a notes.

You are a brilliant teacher. You have your own way of teaching that,s interesting. Wish you NOT to finish talking ❤ I loved the videos and i,ll keep watching the old and the next ones. Thank you very much
My Lovely Teacher ❤❤❤❤❤ As always send you much love from Indonessia 🇲🇨
i love the way she explains things using simple words.
'Wicked' reminded me of the Weasley twins from HP and 'Blimey' of Ronald Weasley!
I'm sure, Gill is chill with her pupil's mistakes. While teaching, she is able to create a chill-out atmosphere. Now we are learning new slang words that are dead funny sometimes. That's why we should chill for a while from time to time. That's wicked! At the end of the lesson we are able to use 15 slang words. Well, fancy that!

I love your laughs when you are explaining "gutted". Greetings from Mexico :D
Gill you're amazing. I'm Brazilian and I'm not a fluente English speaker, but I can understand all that you speak. Your accent is beautifull, I've been lived 6 months in Dublin, Ireland, and I had the pleasure to visit United Kingdow 5 times, twice to London, a once to Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburg. I prefer the British English than American English, but unfortunately here in Brazil most people talking American English.
Thank you Gill, your classes are excellent.
Thanks for your great effort and teaching 🙏🌷🙏
Dear Ma'am Gill, This lesson on Slang and Informal words was quite interesting ! It's quite surprising to know that the word 'wicked'can also be used in a positive sense ! Though the word doesn't sound good and we are conditioned to believe that 'wicked' is bad.We often come across the word 'fancy' in the 18th century novels which literally means to imagine or to think.It was quite an old usage and was very much in vogue in the then times. Thanks,Ma'am for coming up with new English lessons ! It's brilliant ! ( Ma'am,kindly let me know if i have used the word 'brilliant' correctly ! I have tried to apply it while writing a sentence and that's how we learn something accurately !)
