Your communicative skills are very well developed... you describe everything very clearly indeed. As a UK person I feel that you could do yet more programmes on British idioms and expressions. Perhaps a lot of people abroad will be familiar with "sick as a parrot" - as we know, widely used, and nothing to do with being ill at all. Bravo. Very good communications skills.

This is my first time watching your vlog about the idiomatic languages and what amazed me is about how practical those - the idiom you gave were. Btw keep it up! Cheerio! Wish you have a good day also come along with a good vibe then spread them out through your vids. Very inspiring! Thx.
