10 Great Everyday English Idioms for your SPEAKING: Advanced English vocabulary

Watching your videos in the night isn't the best way to make them fruitful: I might take a leaf out of my husband's book and start wathching them in the morning. But this is a really tall order for me, due to my job: I'm working on a six-month project and my days are numbered. Would it be a hare-brained idea studying English in the morning and working in the night? I guess I'll find it out in six months and that will be the proof of the pudding. I have to admit that making these sentences up is amusing, but I'm afraid I'm getting the wrong end of the stick; certainly, creating weird content is something I'm used to, but this one really takes the biscuit. In order to achieve my goal and use all the idioms, now I should think about someone I trusted and I put on a pedestal: sadly, I remember a friend (former friend) who lined his pockets with charity money. I don't like to end on a sad note but I have to, so...let's call it a day. Thanks Ben, as always!

Ive just passed the CPE Ben. You encouraged me to take it, im very grateful for that and for your unvaluable lessons. Thanks and a thousand times thanks.

Thanks, Dear Ben, conclusively they are so hands-on idioms

Hi Ben, Many thanks for these great idioms, you know I love them. I'm feeling a little bit under the weather lately so I'm not able to watch your video right away, but it's great as always, I'm a true fan of you channel and will be. Have a wonderfull upcoming week 🐕👋

My absolute favorite is and always will be: "The lights are on but nobody is at home." :D "The days are numbered" We have the exact same expression in my native language (German) :)

Great idioms, Ben. I've found the proof of the biscuit very witty. Thanks! Best!!

Thank you 😊

Thank you for a great video. You inspired me to start my own YT channel where I talk about English. Thank you for posting an amazing content.

Very useful

I also learned “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” , and it means that you can’t have two good things at the same time

I've heard many times 'the short end of the stick' that I think means to have the worst part of something, or a bad purchase, maybe between two people, like the one that gets the short end of a stick is the one that loses, or is going to loose. I'm doing my exam in an hour and I haven't prepared 😅, I booked the exam in the spur of the moment, good think I bought the re-seat option 😂.

Hi, Ben! I just wanna let you know that my CAE exam is already scheduled for June 15th and, whereas Im preparing really hard, seems like a tall order :(
