1. to pick up the tab 2. to be in the home stretch 3. to be at a loss for words 4. to be in the dog house 5. to make ends meet 6. to hang on (someone's) every word I'll be back, very useful

Hello Wes! I highly appreciate your english lessons. I was in the home stretch of my daily english learning routine and this lesson was the perfect closure. I tried to hang on your every word, but got interrupted twice :( Please don`t be disappointed or vexed with me. I don`t want to be in the doghouse. Furthermore I want to let you know, that I am thankful for your recommondiation of ELSA Speak. The app really comes in handy for improving my speaking skills. I just love your lessons here on YT. Everybody can tell that you are bending over backwards to teach us English. I am astonished at how much you can improve your vocabulary by watching your videos. I am simply at a loss of words. If we ever meet by chance in Vienna, I will pick up the tab. 🍻

Hello from France. Funnily, some of the idioms are also used in France. I.E, "bending over backwards" is "se plier en quatre" (folding himself in four parts), or "off the beaten path" corresponds to "hors des sentiers battus" (exactly the same words and meaning !). Thanks a lot for your videos, so useful for so many non native speakers...

@gasparddaout3770 8 ай бұрын

and also "to drink his/her words" wich is the same meaning as "to hang on his/her every word" X)

It's interesting to know the proverbs in two language translation. E.g. in Chinese we say 'to kill a chicken and let monkey see' meaning to kill a chicken to scare monkey, to set an example and warn someone else. I don't know what's the equivalent English proverb translation though.
