I thank you a lot and I am just on the cloud-nine after watching this English lesson and learning a dozen of idioms. Wes you are not only one of the best but also one of the most handsome teachers we have got. Watching your videos is not like biting the bullet and we don't even have to pay through our noses for watching them. Sometimes, I feel regret that I wish I could get to know about your channel earlier but as they say hindsight is always 20/20 so why should I bother myself and focus on what is at hand. As a matter of fact, your lessons also help in blowing off some steam and channelize my energies into the right direction . .. ❤❤

Hi Wes, you've done an amazing job in this video as usual, and the PDF is awesome as well, but it's a pity that the file is too heavy. I suppose it's heavy because you want it to look more attractive, but it would be nice if it were lighter, even though it may not look as nice. I hope you find a solution for the next PDFs. Thanks a lot, Wes!

Wow! That "mum's the word" has blown my mind. As far as I knew it meant kind of: mum has spoken (who has the last word) and nothing else to argue or to be said. Spot. Silence from now on. Thanks fort those priceless videos where you let us guess the idiom and the meaning. It definetly helps them to stick to our brains 😅❤❤ Regards from Spain

Actually there's only one idiom that is totally new to me and it's "hindsight is 20/20". Honestly, previously i only knew "in hindsight". so i'm really delighted to know this related expression. Also now i know it comes from a scenario where the optometrist says "you have 20/20 vision". it's always fun to get to know a bit of American culture while learning English. And for other idioms, i kind of review them a bit, which is great! I'm quite engaged in this lesson and you're legit~🤟
