My friend always stood first in the class presentations,although during discussion, tough questions are asked but he never confused and always think on his feet and left the audience awestruck,I must say he is as bright as a button,but I sometimes presume that this characteristic is God gifted and runs in his family.

I'm no good at cooking. So my mom doesn’t lemme cook. Next time she restrains me I will definitely use this proverb "Nothing ventured,nothing gained!" 😎😎😎

Hi Keith! Brilliant video as usual, it's second to none when it comes to explanation of idioms. I have been trying my hands on the British accent and hence I enjoy listening to you. By the way, it seems an old colleague of yours who used to be highly strung and her bosom friends are the only ones who have disliked your video 😉 certainly others would never do that 😇

Hi I am watching your videos from last week you are just an amazing teacher 👨‍🏫

It is said that "get carried away" means "to become so excited or involved in something that you lose control of your feelings or behaviour". But in your example it's different. I am confused

You are really second to none. Thank you for all your guidance 🙏🙏

27:40 is mind blowing CRUX 😊

Thank you very much, Keith. Your lessons are always very helpful, especially this one. Please come up with more idioms to describe things, activities or places. I can't wait to join your lessons.

Oh god I have learned a lot of idioms from your lesson S thanks a lot sir you are always second to non. 🙏 May god bless you to bright as a button always . And I could say without any doubt you are a spitting image of God.. With a lot of respect. 🙏

Sir I love to hear from you at least once a day.You help a lot to keep me on track.

I like all your lessons. I enjoy a lot with all of them Thank you very much , from Zaragoza, Spain.

I couldn't love this video anymore! How invaluable it is! Hope you are well in this time of Covid.

I like to watch again and again this episode.

Excellent Keith, you’re second to none. Thank you.

When it comes to teaching others, you are second to none🤫😊😱

I'm thinking on my feet when trying to answer the examiner at a surprising question.
