ERRATUM: Number 89 It gives the definition of "bribe" not "upstanding" Upstanding means "Honest and respectful " Apologies.
That explains why ai thought it sounded kind of weird to me. Ha, hs. 🤪👍🏻
@@lorenasmartevents5354 thank you! Now I know I'm not crazy :-)
I was carpeted the other day by those fine upstanding people for accepting bribes.
But it was just a humble bag of boild candies...
Gee that had me SO confused. lol Otherwise great list. Knew most but don't use them much and some were new to me!
That's a quite belated apology. Isn't it? 🤣

After a while, I ignored the words and started admiring the beautiful sentences constructed around it. Well done. Amazing video.
Yes more of these advanced lessons please. Thank you so much teacher, as always!
totally aggree!
Exactly what I need for C2 preparation. Wished you could do a few more videos like this!
Yes, indeed. Stay tuned for more
Much appreciated , Mr Gideon. You're doing a tremendous work for us and I hope you continue going in details in the upcoming videos.
Thank you sir! You are doing amazing efforts to help English learners to get advanced level.
Thank you for your amazing comment
Thanks for another great lesson! As a Portuguese native speaker and American English student I've been learnt a lot and upskilling my English knowledge by your videos as my extra mile. You rock!
Great work. Each issue is immensely enriching. I look forward to studying new episodes of 101 series.
So you can say I'm besotted of London because I love this city.
Besotted with London I think, besotted by London also works.
When people tell me that English is an easy language I always smile ironically. The vocabulary is so huge that unless you are a native speaker or been living in the country for at least 20 years you will never speak perfectly.
Nicely done Gideon! Lots of words yet very digestible. I love the way you deliver your content
This was superb! Love the way you talk and pronounce each word distinctly!
The word "egregious" was a big surprise to me, as I used to think it had a positive meaning. In Italian "egregio" means "outstanding", "excellent". It comes from the Latin adjective "egregius", which in turn is from the phrase "e(x) grege", literally meaning "(away) from the herd". So, egregius in Latin indicates someone who stands out, who is different (better) then the others. So, for example, in Italian "egregio sognore" means "dear sir", or "lavoro egregio" means "excellent work". I wonder how the word came to acquire a negative sense in English. Nice case of nasty false friend, anyway...
That's an interesting point. In fact egregious used to mean "outstanding" with either a positive or a negative meaning depending on the context. However, the positive meaning has (more or less) disappeared. If you use it that way these days you are liable to be misunderstood.
@@LetThemTalkTV In Spanish “egregio” means “noble”, “precious” or “illustrious”. And according to the DICCIONARIO DE LA REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA it comes from the Latin word “egregius”.
It happens in all languages in lots of cases. The Russian "magazin" means Shop. And Polish "pozor!" (attention) becomes "Shame!" in Russian
@@AndreiBerezin The word for shop in French is magasin, how was a French word incorporated into Russian?
@@masaukochitsamba7808 all the Russian elite in 18 19th centuries were French speaking. Russian was the language of regular folk
Thank you so much Gideon. This is very helpful for me to improve my English. I’m a C1 learner and like to watch your videos to advance my language.
I love how Gideon's videos are both instructional and entertaining. A real pleasure to watch, and I appreciate all the work behind them.
One of the important things students should do while studying English is a constant improvement of their vocabulary. The galore of words can make anyone an amuzing conversationalist. Thank you, Gideon!
Edit: almost got me at the last seconds. Almost! About 70-80% of the words I already knew before watching the video but it was good to brush up on then. I should study harder, though.
Thanks a lot for this usefull lesson. We really appreciate your work and your histrionic personality
This is priceless!!!! Thank you so much for doing the research😗
I'm learning them all...
Always excited to check new videos from Gideon. Thanks ever so much.
Always excited to read your comments
You are so charismatic, studying with you is a wonderful experience. Thank you 💕
Thanks a million times! 🌹
Your method is potent & fruitful!
Yours has been the quintessential opus, Mr. Gideon. Thanks.
Best way to teach and deliver new vocabulary to students. Hope you make a series of this. Thank you for it and again I hope you make a series soon.
Simply, thank you for an amazing lesson.
Thanks for watching
Very useful lesson , thank you a bunch.
Thank you for your help that ushers my English in a new level of knowledge. It's always a sheer pleasure to learn with the foremost authority on teaching English on CZcams ! I hope it'll come to fruition as I always learn a lot from your vast array of videos.
Splendid!!!
Erstwhile, this is the first time I hear that word.
Seldom, that's one of the first words we see in English books, but I seldom hear it in real life.
Overwhelmed, I also heard underwhelmed, is it possible to be just whelmed? 🤣
Good point. I've never heard whelmed. I don't think it exists but ... it might check it
Absolutely, whelmed is most definitely a word.
whelm
verb
engulf, submerge, or bury (someone or something).
"a swimmer whelmed in a raging storm"
noun
an act or instance of flowing or heaping up abundantly; a surge.
"the whelm of the tide"
@@Xemplifi Thank you 👍
These words will never slip my mind with such great examples.
Thanks so much dear teacher, I'm elated by your vocabulary list. I hope to memorize and use these great alternatives in a real, advanced conversation😊Best wishes👍❤️
Love it! I appreciate the efforts you are making! English is not my mother tongue and I learned a lot here. Your efforts have come to a fruition
Surely your efforts have come to fruition?
Great lesson! Thank you :)
As soon as you mentioned "gullible", I immediately recalled:
DON'T BE SO GULLIBLE, MCFLY!!! :)))
Thank you for this video. Very useful indeed.
Nine new words for me to use, and two more I've used wrongly (Not too shabby for a Dane, innit?). Thank you for the wholesome content, it is much appreciated.
Just great! This is the most funny way to provide vocabulary which I ever saw 💪 Thank so much!
Please do create more advanced English lesson just like this. Thanks a lot!

Love it, love it, love it. We'll never be able to thank you enough Gideon.
Innit? You killed me ;-)
I can't thank you enough
The last one is special, so do "stay for that". Stay for that? Oh I should have guessed it... Stay m... :-)
Think to Gabriella Wilde when she pronounces the word "reckless" in Poldark... You'll never forget it. Well about half of us will never forget it ;-)
Brilliant, mate! Cheers!
Thanks for this lesson.😍

Daub, spate n upstanding I had forgotten but know. Daub was new. Thanks. A

Goodness gracious me! This episode has been music to my ears and made me feel elated. ... But is that news?! All episodes of Let Them Talk make me feel that way, actually, but I just haven't realized until now I'm "elated" by watching them ...
These vocabularies are fantastically essential.i really appreciate (let them talk) teacher.
