Thank you in advance.

Thanks a lot for your kind lesson. This was very useful, or like you might say, really useful or extremely useful :-) When you said the word "swift" I just remembered the expression "a swift note". I have never thought about the explanation of it, but I have just realised that it means "a quick note". Is this correct?

Hello and thank you.
Some of your expression sound extremly nice, but I disagree that "chilly" is a good replacement for "very cold".
Chilly I use for Germany's weather today, which is 3°C. But "very cold" I'd say when it is -15°C.
Also, at 2:34 you encourage people to replace "very short" by "very brief". Agreed. But this doesn't avoid "very", you see what I mean?
