Do you want to improve your pronunciation? I have launched my British English (Modern RP) pronunciation course! I’ll train you to read phonetic transcriptions, and produce each sound that comprises modern received pronunciation. I’ll also teach you how to implement the correct use of intonation, stress, rhythm, connected speech, and much more. We’ll compare similar sounds, and look at tricky topics like the glottal stop and the dark L.
Technically, I need to mark this as an AD even though it is my own company so - AD :)

I don't want to beat around the bush. But i am sure i am not barking up the wrong tree. To make a long story short, i just want to thank you, Lucy. In a nutshell, your teaching keeps me on the ball. To get it out of my system, this comment is better late than never, even though a compliment like this must be a drop in the ocean.

“That exam was a piece of cake”: phrase you’ll never gonna say if you’re an engineering student...

I was feeling a bit under the weather today, then I came across this video. It made my day. The idioms hit the nail on the head with respect to the most common ones used and provide great learning, and the examples were entertaining too - killing two birds with one stone I’d say. And I still can’t wrap my head around how she managed to present 100 idioms so succinctly! In a nutshell, she hits the ball out of the park with this one!

Quarantine is a true blessing in disguise, I've learned so much during these times, looks like every cloud has a silver lining. I finally bit the bullet and expressed my true feelings to him. This new hobby of mine cost me an arm and a leg. I've tried giving him the cold shoulder, but I just can't resist his charm. Now I'm going to hit the sack, because it's already three in the morning in my neck of the woods. This lesson was marvelous Lucy, you make preparing for CAE so much easier!💕

I've been researching some likey about this stuff but I'm not going to beat around the bush, you just hit the nail on head. Though others you've mentioned rings a bell, you're explanation and examples made it a piece of cake to understand. I'm not sure if my grammar is okay but I live and I learn. So thank you very much

Me: Before watching Lucy's videos ''English is rocket science! '' After watching her videos ''English is a piece of cake!!'' My mom: ''But don't give up your day job! '' But I think her heart is in the right place. I'm gonna hit the sack because now it is 1:39AM in my country.
