Having said that = anyway, whatever Wishful thinking = be unlikely Take for granted = to not appreciate Keep that in mind = to remember Be that as it may = anyway, whatever, nevertheless lo and behold = surprisingly around the clock = 24 hours Toss around ideas = brainstorm in and of itself = just, alone in hindsight = you know what

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 KZfaq! 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 KZfaq channels especially from Wes. Thank you very much to you Wes. Keep it up your great work🎉 👍💯

You're close. It's more natural to say "increase the level" or even "up the level" of my English. "Up the level" is used in the US, but I don't know about Britain. It's often used in sports to talk about a player who needs to "up his level" of play. It's a bit informal, but used ALL THE TIME.

I expected that sooner or later you would describe an expression without encompassing it's entire scope of usage, perhaps overlooking that it could be used in a completely opposite context from that which You had touched upon. LO AND BEHOLD, You left out that this very expression can be used to point out that something COMPLETELY expected, did in fact, come to pass! It drove Me nuts as a "Thesaurus Rex" that it wasn't given due credit..Lol. Other than that, an enjoyable video! Carry On!

As a non native speaker of the english language I can say that watching movies is the best way to learn and stay up to date with the most current expressions and words in common usage. As a teacher of the english language, likewise, I always encourage students to watch the news for example, in english, as it is much easier to understand and the people who give the news speak so crystal clear using very formal and appropiate vocabulary. For more advanced learners who like challenges the best way is movies, where they speak ultra fast, sometimes it's incomphrensible what they're saying, specially modern movies, old movies from the 90's and 80's are too easy, they speak super slow by comparison to today's way of speaking, lol. I am happy to see that all the expressions presented here I had learned previously not in an english classroom, but watching movies, lol. I just like to come here to prove to myself I know this stuff, as an English instructor I just can't afford to fall behind in my knowledge,.... it's what puts the bread on the table!! 🤣🤣

"Keep in mind" I heard more the alternative "Bear in mind" throughout my life". "Be that it may" If you want to be fluent in (good) Portuguese (wishful thinking, I take for granted), keep the expression "Seja como for" in mind. It's so cool and tricky for non native (and even contemporary native Brazilians) for it combines two different subjuntictive tenses of the verb "ser" (to be) in the same expression: "seja" (present subjunctive) and "for" (future subjunctive). "Seja como for" (literally "be it as it may be") means precisely "be that it may". "in and of itself ": there's a simple Latin expression for that: "per se".

Like always, Sir, it's perfectly commented bouquet of expressions to make one step up. It will be rather for oral and reading comprehension than for active usage, but "petit à petit l'oiseau fait son nid". Thank you very much and stay healthy.

I just pushed play for a youtube video, and, lo and behold, I was watching a very intertaining video. In hindsight, I think that video was great, take it for granted and keep that in mind!

Starting from the last video, your audio has tremendously improved even when you don't use the big mic. It means that you probably bought a new lav microphone. Congrats and THANK YOU! 😍🍀
