The way you wrap up the lesson by concluding with a few sentences containing all the idioms is just brilliant, and it is your signature conclusion. Love it because it is both creative and original, and useful at the same time.
-
I won’t think twice to hit the button of like because your style of teaching, your material of learning, your very comprehensible speaking ability are the factors of attraction towards learning. I enjoyed your method of teaching.
-
I won't think twice about using these idioms. Thanks a lot!
-
I have tried many materials and lectures for learning English, but it seems that none of them have been very effective. However, I recently discovered your channel and have learned a lot from it. I especially appreciate how you summarize and list everything in the description. Thank you very much!
-
More C1 and C2 lessons ❤. Thanks for all the explanations.
-
Don't forget that no-one can learn new vocabulary on such sort notice, but languages evolve constantly, so we need to bring us up to speed. Don't think twice about using these new words every day. Will it bear fruit? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I didn't think twice and I hit the like button.about this awesome class.
-
teacher in Spanish we also use : (not) think twice //no pensarselo dos veces// wait and see //espera y veras // and (to be in the public eye) // estar en el ojo publico // so now you also know three advanced idioms in Spanish, I know this is your tarjet language, a lot of people from Spain and latinoamerica would love learning with you.
-
I want to thank you from my heart for this amazing presentation, which makes understanding these useful idioms easier for me!
-
It was an especially great lesson with many idioms I have just barely heard of. And get a grip! One of my favorite rock and roll band is Aerosmith and I just love their album: Get a grip! Have a nice week!
-
I like that you also teach pronunciation tips! I read books in English, watch movies, but speaking is my weak point. I dont have much practice. By the way, I teach Russian at my channel in case somebody's interested. I'm from Donbass. We, Russian speaking people from the East Ukraine, Russia, and Belorussia have the same vocabulary and slang. But you Americans, Britains, and Australians have different vocabulary and accents and it's difficult for English learners!
-
Thank you so much for your support.
-
These videos are priceless. Thumbs up!!!
-
Compared to the last video of yours I watched, I liked this better because you offered various options in expression. You are doing good in the world. Thank you!
-
Thank you Wes for bringing me up to speed after being away from learning for some months. I wanted to make an example using some of the idioms you taught. I didn't think twice about writing a comment, because to set the record straight, it helps practice what I learned. So I decided to write comments on short notice. Some people usually don't take things at face value and get a grip on themselves before accepting something. I believe that we should strike a balance between our emotions and our logic.
-
Carry on Wes. carry on , go for it, you are doing the best. Your videos are absolutely similar to the textbooks which are sold in bookshops or store.
-
