Congratulations on your wedding!
Your videos are super helpful.

Thank you and keep going!

Very nicely done, Elliot, and I do enjoy listening to your cool British accent. I notice that you've made a point of saying that you do not use outdated expressions. However, I can tell you that here in America at any rate, every one of the idioms you discussed has been around for quite a long time. They were all used when I was a kid (in the 1950s) and used by my mom and dad much earlier. But never mind, I enjoyed listening to you, and I will look for more of your videos. And if it's not being too old fashioned, I congratulate you on "getting hitched", and all best wishes to your lovely "ball and chain".

Thank you very very much for your lessons. I am 19 yrs old from Myanmar (Burma) and I just started studying English properly last year. But with your lessons, I don't see much difficulties when I read novels that include many idioms. Cause I always write down the idioms you teach in my notebook.
Thank you so much again.
Btw I wish your family the best and have a brightest future ahead.
Stay healthy and happy 😊
