IDIOMS to Express Hope & Inspiration | Vocabulary Lesson
In everyday conversation, we use idioms regularly. And today I want to teach you different idioms that you can use to give hope to others and provide some inspiration.
We all want to be able to help our family, friends, and colleagues, so these idioms will allow you to offer reassurance and help them stay positive when facing a difficult situation.
Here are the idioms from the lesson. Hope you learn something new.
1. keep your chin up
2. hang in there
3. break a leg
4. in the bag
5. sky's the limit
6. the world is your oyster
7. light at the end of the tunnel
8. there's plenty of fish in the sea
9. look on the bright side
10. pull yourself together
11. fingers crossed
12. blessing in disguise

A group of men were facing a problem as if it were a catch-22. Suddenly a brilliant man appeared and said to them: 'there's a light at the end of the tunnel.' They all got very happy.
Hy, I lost an opportunity to get admission in a high university but I need to look on the bright side , may be it's blessing in disguise. Fingers crossed. Even now the world is my oyster and one day i sky's the limit. I need to hang in there. Thanks a lot tacher Wes for this incredible lesson. I am in your debt :)
God bless you for sharing your God's given talents with us, and hank you. Stay blessed of the Lord in Jesus name and amen.

Dear Sir ,please accept my sincere gratitude for ❤keeping our chins up and making us realise that this world is oyster for us and sky is the limit if we just try to strech our wings of efforts and determination. Your videos are like a rope of comfort and hope that always pulls us out of the well of depression and make us see some light at the end of tunnel which always makes us sure that this is just a blessing in disguise and the good days are around the corner. So keep your fingers crossed and hang in there... ❤
Dear friend,l'm from Iran and watch your great videos with my daughter.l really appreciate the time and energy you spend .Good luck.
Keep your chin up( used as a standalone statement) Hang in there Break a leg In the bag Sky's the limit The world is your oyster Light in the end of the tunnel There's plenty of fish in the sea Look on the bright side Pull yourself together Fingers crossed Blessing in disguise

Hi Wes, Thanks so much for your inspirational lesson. This's truly practical and useful for me. I work at a local hospital. I have to deal with patients who are either newly diagnosed CAs or going to ampute their limbs on a daily basis. Anyway, there are all awful news. I usually only reassure them like this, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." After learning your lesson, I will use other ways to comfort them. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work!

I always pull myself together and look on the bright side of sudden happenings. Just like I lost my job; maybe I was destined to look after my mom who was sudden diagnosed with cancer after I lost my job. However, I truly believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so I just need to keep my chin up and hang in there with faith in God.

What a great teacher you are. I thought I was fluent in English, but by watching your videos I've learned so much. English is a vast language and it would take a lifetime to learn all of is intricacies, for instance it was great the vocabulary lesson in American slang, that where you explained the expression "to call shotguns", I had no idea that that phrase existed and how it was used. Thank you so much for your teachings. You and your wife are just great educators. Thanks, cheers, applauses and a thump up

Idioms are great way to learn English. I've learned new ones in this video which I find super useful. It's so good when you learn an idiom and at the same time see how it is used by native speakers in movies, tv series, etc. I will keep watching your channel and practising my English.

Thanks for giving us your final recommendation as a way to encourage us to go ahead. English isn't an easy task. Although after studying so hard now I am capable to say that "I don't need I weather man to know which way the wind is blowing" I know by myself I am doing it right, just like many of us that love English.
