Being from England myself, this is one of the first videos I have seen that teach proper British! Other videos bring in words and phrases that aren't commonly used at all and it does my head in so thanks for this lol

A video from Elliott = the best gift for Women's Day 🙌
Thank you for the lesson! It’s really important to use modern idioms, not those from our schoolbooks!
We sometimes say "under the weather" in America too. We use "at the end of the day" constantly. ("Get a grip!" as well.)
I really over the moon when I discover ETJ English, and practice with for my IELTS preparation
You are doing such an amazing job with your lessons, Elliott! I moved to Cambridge, UK half a year ago and I have been noticing these expressions been used around me all the time. But it's really useful to have them explained properly.
I am over the moon finding your channel on KZread. Thank you.
You're an amazing online teacher! The best one! Respect!
First time I watched your video on KZread, I was like wow how confertable to listen his English is! I know you are speaking a bit slower and clearer than you do normally but still a useful source of coloquial English. Thank you Elliot.
actually i was over the moon when i found this channel because is the only one who have helped me to improve my pronunciation and to learn more about your culture, which is one of my favourite :)
Very good teacher. Genuine and considerate. Cannot fault the delivery, accessible and knowledgeable. Thank you.
I am delighted with your videos. They are really helpful. Thank you Elliot, you are an amazing teacher
Good Teacher Elliot! You're bringing a lot of words to us. Thank you so much.
I'm agree with you that the idioms that teachers teach us are very old. Thank you for the video, it was very useful to me.
I’m not sure what is more attractive about you- your way of explaining, your pronunciation or your eyes. 😃
this lesson is really useful! I always wanted to learn more idioms like these
Hi Mr. ETJ, your reaction and expression when teaching actually attract people too learn more about british. Maybe it took years too learn about british. Greeting from Malaysia
hahaha I love when you said : "I don't need enjoy your food with you" this is so true. I was over the moon when I travel to Japan ^ ^ Thank you for your videos! :)
You are a excellent teacher and then you make remembering idioms and expression so I am over the moon with that ❤🎉
Thank you Elliott, Your channel is the most useful!
This is my first time watching your vlog about the idiomatic languages and what amazed me is about how practical those - the idiom you gave were. Btw keep it up! Cheerio! Wish you have a good day also come along with a good vibe then spread them out through your vids. Very inspiring! Thx.

Great channel ETJ! Very helpful indeed! Perhaps one of the best I've seen. You're a real teacher, mate!! Clear explanations and not boring at all. Thank you, subscribed. It's very important to know which idioms are outdated and which are still in use or newly formed. Wish I knew your name. :) Thanks a lot!
The lesson was excellent. I always learn something useful when i watch your videos ♡
I’m so over the moon by watching your videos!! Good job
Normally I have hard times in understanding English accent. You are the first Engilish that I can understand without subtitle.
It is a pleasure to learn with you !
Thanks, mate. I really appreciate your video. I only know American English, but due to academic reasons I need to learn the British English. Cheers,

I need more idioms. Very helpful many many thanks 🙏. You are great!
I love your accent and I love how you explain idiomatic you explain it so perfectly
I want to learn more english, but the vocabulary is so vast... I need to get a grip... I think idioms are a funny way to learn instead of single words 😌 Thank you for the encouragement! I feel empowered 🌌
Thank you for great lesson !. It's a new knowledge for me that I have learnt today 😄😄 😄
Thanks to the internet ,and loads of thanks for you to give us the chance to refine our British pronunciation
Your communicative skills are very well developed... you describe everything very clearly indeed. As a UK person I feel that you could do yet more programmes on British idioms and expressions. Perhaps a lot of people abroad will be familiar with "sick as a parrot" - as we know, widely used, and nothing to do with being ill at all. Bravo. Very good communications skills.
"Get a grip" is a musical album of Aerosmith band too, thanks useful video.
Great video, really useful, cheers!
I am truly grateful. You are a great teacher
Thanks a lot! Your lessons are so interesting!

Stunning lesson! Waiting for more!
Thanks ETJ
I was over the moon when my favourite actor answered me in Twitter🔥❤️
Iam in love with your accent thanks ❤
I enjoy your channel. I find it fascinating that a few of these current British idioms are older American English (40s-80s) ones that are usually on the way out
If my Friend starts singing, argh, it really does my head in!
Loved this video! Thank you! I liked "over the moon" I'll try to start using it. I've seen "to be on cloud nine" (meaning: very happy) in some books. Is that one currently used in British English?
