Finally someone who implements logic to the language learning in reasonable chunks which makes learner's side of burden in understanding the subtle nuances of this language, disappear from the get go & it indeed makes it quite interactive & fun. All things considered, this is hands down the best channel I bumped into this year.

As soon as I saw C1, I clicked on your video! I'd appreciate it if you would put a small icon W/S next to these expressions to show whether they are appropriate for Writing or Speaking or both. It helps us a lot to use these phrases in the right context or situation.

[rossellagiovanardi]

All things considered = having considered everything...
Bit by bit = step by step, gradually.
Little by little = a similar meaning
Before you know it = very soon; the fastest way = before you notice it
Out of the blue = Suddenly; totally unexpected
At a glance = quickly; immediately
To have something against someone = to be angry with/ mad at someone
To look at the bright side = to look at something with a positive attitude/to try to see the best side of something
To take issue with = to strongly disagree with something/to claim
To keep a low profile = to be modest, humble/ to not try to attract the attention of others on you.
In accordance with = following...
Back roads = secondary roads to shorten the length
Bear left/Bear right
