Expressions and collocations are a crucial component of language learning. I had heard most of these expressions, but it's critical to know the exact meaning and usage. Your video provided a more profound understanding of these phrases. Keep up the good work.

It's been amazing to learn so many great advanced expressions in one chunk. Having said that I wouldn't know if I would be able to use it all in my daily conversation. My partner would tease me saying that it's wishful thinking to learn and digest it in such a short period of time. However I would definitely use it and internalize it as my English teacher Wes has taught us such an amazing great lesson, I'm not going to take it for granted. I would work harder on it. I always keep that in mind, you reap what you sow. There's no short cut in learning English, to level up our English fluency, be that as it may, I won't slow down my journey of learning English. I would keep on watching the videos around the clock. Meanwhile I could toss around some ideas to my friends who want to learn English. This particular lesson, in and of itself , is free! Come on, we're learning English for free from YouTube! In no time, lo and behold, I would be able to level up my English. In hindsight, I should have started learning real English from YouTube channels especially from Wes. Thank you very much to you Wes. Keep it up your great work🎉 👍💯

Truth be told that English is totally different from other languages. It's just because of flexibility like 💧. Having said that you are absolutely incredible coach. You make English learners adore the language.

I literally just learned so much more with this 20 minute video than I did in a 1 full year at my high-school. Thank you so much for the value provided! ✨

Good for you, Wes! That kind of exercises are the ones we need for really improve our English knowledge. Congratulations form Cuba for this class!

As a non-native I'm very thankful for these videos! I'm trying to learn English better to be able to write better books :)

Fixed expressions are challenging to most English leaners. They are less commonly taught at school and often not the focus of the lesson. I find 'in and of itself' rare but interesting because of its position in a sentence. Hope to see more advanced expressions.

Thanks for allocating a part of your time to meticulously teach us about important expressions used in the English language.

I really enjoyed this lesson. These expressions are helpful to level up my English. Thank you so much for the wonderful lesson.

I'm not a fluent English speaker,be that as it may, I love to learn more and more advance vocabulary and expression like these.

Hi Wes! I really enjoyed the lesson and learned bunch of new expressions. These are definitely advanced for me but your good explanations have made them easy to understand. Thank you!!

For the first time I could remember all the expressions at the end of the video. I thought that was wishful thinking of me. This is the most effective vocabulary video I have ever seen, I appreciate teacher🙏

I like the way you structure your explanations, especially using visual aids to make explanations clearer. Keep up the good work. Saudações de Portugal.

I just found your channel randomly here on YouTube as I’m subscribed to other English lesson channels. I’ve found yours more exciting. I’m glad I’ve found this channel. I’m really learning from your lessons “you toss a lot of ideas “ Lo and behold” that I’m going to be confident in my speaking confidence. English my second language until now im still improving my speaking skills , and also my writing. You’re awesome! I love how you talk so clear and concise. It’s like I could mimic your sound , my favorite part is how you enunciate and stress the word as you talk. ❤️❤️❤️

Great lesson as always. Thx. Keep watching English videos like this one, and lo and behold, you will master English sooner or later. We need to spend a little of our precious time to hit the English books and use the language in real context. Thx a million.
