Hi Jen, I'm so glad to hear your voice in your videos after so long. Your similes are wonderful and I am sure that all your followers celebrate with great pleasure as well as me. We have one of them in this country just the same. "to sleep as a log": dormir como un tronco. I think I am one of them. Congratulations on being back and wishing you the best.

Hi Santiago 🤩. Thank you for always thinking about and sharing great music 🎼. Thanks also for watching this new English lesson and for sharing your kind words of encouragement 😍. It is interesting to know that Spanish has a similar simile to 'sleep like a log' 🤗. I wish I could be like you and sleep like a log, but my husband snores loudly and my neighbour's dog barks a lot 😅.

Hi Jen ❤😊 hope you are doing well and all your family 😊 Here are some examples of mine 😊 - last week I twisted my ankle, it hurt so bad 😔 it hurt like hell , but the pain is substantially subsided, and I feel much better now 😊 When the new shopping mall opened for the first time, people were running inside like chickens with their heads cut off ! 😅 because everything was low priced and some items were completely for free , wow 😍 My twin sister is as cool as a cucumber 🥒 but I have a bit of temper ! She's so nice to everyone, she's like a breath of fresh air 😊

I am as happy as a lark to read your lovely comment and so many fantastic examples of similes 🤗. I hope your example sentence about twisting your ankle and having it hurt like hell isn't true, because that sounds terrible ✨. I really like the other similes you've include too: 'like chickens with their heads cut off', 'as cool as a cucumber', and 'like a breath of fresh air'. 🤩. Thank you for sharing 💕.

Why do you tend to drop the first ‘as’ when it’s in a sentence?
@JeNsJyugyou
9 ай бұрын
That is an excellent question 👍🏻✨. In Canada, many times when native English speakers are talking, we often omit the first 'as' if we use similes🇨🇦. I am not sure if native English speakers in other countries do the same or not, so I tried to teach the similes 'correctly', but sometimes ended up forgetting to include the first 'as'. You have very good ears 😁.
Why do you have japanese name?
