  • Dear Emma, I've been following you for a while and I just wanted to congratulate you for the high quality of your videos. Your teaching skills have improved a lot as well as the quality of your videos and tools. Thank you very much.
  • @mmmEnglish_Emma
    Which one of these idioms describes you best? 🥳 💩 🦆 🐺 🍪 🦉 I think I'm a mix between a lone wolf, a creature of habit and a backseat driver! 😂 📝 Don’t forget to share your homework in the comments below!
  • I'm so grateful, Have learned several new idioms apart from Early Birds, You are my best teacher hope some day I will be called the teacher's pet🥰
  • @Justaperson102
    Hello Emma❣ Thank you so much for everything you're doing. Your lessons are so useful for me. I learnt some idioms as early bird, party animal, lucky duck and more. Me describes culture vulture📚 Once more THANK YOU❣
  • @HienThu-eh9iu
    I watched this video almost every sound. It likes I was listening to my native language 'cause I understood all of what you're talking (though I'm not really good English learner). For me, this is the most interesting English video of yours and I'm really into it right now! I've done my 30 idioms noting down, thank you so much❤️... And do you want to learn some English idioms when it's Vietnamese? I can give some, like "dark horse", when you were explaining the meaning of its, another phrases popped into my head "still waters run deep" hahaaa, and the person who is a dark horse is called "giấu nghề" in Vietnamese (though "giấu nghề" is an adjective). "Giấu" is hidden and "nghề" is their job in which they're specialized. I love this idiom so much! Another idiom which can be translated to Vietnamese is "cheapskate", it's called "keo kiệt" or "bủn xỉn" in Vietnamese (I don't know to explain it, even when I'm Vietnamese, I just know that "keo kiệt" means "cheapskate" and "cheapskate" means "keo kiệt" hahaaa). For more, I can say it "phá game" with the meaning of "party pooper" (though "game" is an English word, all teenagers in Viet Nam say that🤣)... The others is pretty hard to say in Vietnamese, so I'm really thankful for you to teach me these idioms. Now I can shoot the breeze with my friends about them! Hopefully you'll read my comment and I love uuuuuuuu❤️❤️❤️
  • @ElMoscas114
    Mmmm yeah, I'm going to hit the books with this amazing video, and I already knew some idioms, however, I adore learning from them. So I feel like I can't express how thankful I am.
  • @toniarnold341
    Thank you thousand for this lesson with the idioms to refer to People. I’ve studied them several times to keep these in English in my brain. I can tell you that all my life I was an early bird. It was because of my job as a farmer. It was easy for me to get up early every morning and milk the cows
  • @nuredin537
    I found this video very important....not only as a session but also gives motivational direction to learn more expressive & condensed lines, leading towards rich English literature!! Finally I saved the video in my IMPORTANT play list folder, it deserves! My hat is off for mmmmEnglidh, Emma!
  • @francescab7581
    Thanks EMMA🤩. In Italian we say animale notturno( night owl), opposed to mattiniero ( early bird). Un uomo di parola is a man of his word, un cocco dell'insegnante is teacher's pet😅, a busybody is a ficcanaso, a cheapskate is a tirchio, a worrywart is un uccello del malaugurio🤣
  • @yettaguado9060
    I love your video. It’s important to know idioms because all languages are peppered with them, especially English. It’s good to know the idioms that describe people. I’m a retired ESL teacher and idioms were part of my lessons.
  • @silvytafc
    Hi Emma. Thank you for this lesson. I love it very much!!!! There'are equivalent expressions in Spanish language. Here few of them: A lone wolf=un lobo solitario A dark horse=una caja de sorpresas The early bird gets the worm=A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda Night owl= Ave nocturna Jack-of-all-trades, master on none=Aprendiz de todo, oficial de nada A man of his word=Un hombre de palabra The teacher's pet=El niño mimado A know-it-all=Un sabelotodo A party pooper=Un aguafiestas Straight shooter=Sin pelos en la lengua
  • @kl3176
