      yes, write a book. everyday life kinda like a mess including tons of aspects. so a bit harder to remember all these 20 phrases if I dont have a partner to talk with. if there is a book, I think in order to remember and practice using them, should brush up on them everyday.

    I could not think about anything more specific that could be the exact thing like "to have a bone to pick" but in Brazilian Portuguese when we have something to talk about with someone and there are problems to be solved, we use to say "unpeal the pineapple = descascar um abacaxi"

    Hi Kayla. The colloquial expression used in Belgium (belgiscism) corresponding to " A bone to pick" is "avoir un oeuf à peler avec quelqu'un" (To have an egg to peel with someone). Do note that this expression isn't used in France. "Egg" Implies "hard-boiled egg". Thank you for your dedication to your students. 👍👍🌹

I can't deny, there are several considerate, ambitious and hard working members however there're some couch potatos and gossip girls. They talk behind me, critise my apperance, management way secretly, among their friends so we always have a bone to pick unfortunally, i don't even know how to run my club anymore, give me some wise advices please, i really wanna keep it alive and go forward. I'm burnt out but i will bring rules to obey in club and stand firm about them residual!!

    Hey Kayla.
    Just want to say that you're doing an amazing job...
    Just one thing that I don't really like in some of your videos.
    The background music playing during the whole lesson...
    I believe my colleagues students would be agree with me that when we watch/listen to those videos one or two times it's okay, but when we have to watch them 5-10 times... that background music sounds way too annoying.
    Would you mind making subsequent clips without any background music, please?
    Thank you.
