Many, many thanks, our great teacher, Mrs. Kayla, your great English lesson videos are very useful. Orhan Baki, from Şenlikköy- Florya/Istanbul- Turkey.

[陳守一-eq]

You are indeed a fabulous English teacher!

[slowlearner]

Hi Kayla. I have already emphasized that you are one of the best YouTubers who teaches idioms. Refreshing them today, I decided to make such a comment. I allow myself to disagree with one of your opinion. You advised us never burn bridges. However, I do it from time to time and I feel great afterwards. Because there are people around everyone who do not appreciate a person, but only figure out how to use. Feeling or seeing this, I burn bridges with such "friends" and I recommend everyone to do so. And I do believe that many people have been doing similarly.
