Hi there friends!
Here is a video for daily life! These idioms will make you sound more friendly, warm and approachable - and of course more native! They are also considered "advanced" English because they demonstrate a more impressive knowledge and command of the language. These lovely idioms are for daily situations but also deeper conversations ;-)
As usual I am teaching you English that is IN USE today and used by my friends, family, and people I come across in daily life. The accent is the British accent usually found in the South of England, which is called Modern Received Pronunciation. I hope you enjoy my video!

As a hidden gem, I have the 11th idiom for you but it is usually used by non-British people. It is reflected of British society but I never heard British people say it.
Smitten by Britain: When someone is “smitten by Britain,” they are deeply captivated or charmed by the United Kingdom. It is like falling head over heels for the UK’s culture, history, or perhaps even its rainy weather!
Oooh love that! Love the word smitten 🥰
Dear Kathy you are a ray of sunshine & a hidden gem for letting me know correct english.

Ripple. I once was in a night club, but during the day, because I knew the owner's son, and, I lived nearby, and, I was the only person, there, watching a lady singer, from one of the small island countries of the area, rehearsing, with her band, a song that talked about a stone that's dropped in the still water of a small river, causing ripples, as a way of describing one's state of mind, or what a lady felt in her heart. The name of the song, that's in French, translates into "The Windmills Of My Heart". And, since that day, that song always stayed in my mind, about ripples in a still body of water, when a stone is dropped into it. Small thing, maybe, to remember, but, it has a certain charm to it, to me, mostly because I was all alone, in that big room, watching that lady singer prepare for the concert that was to come. Such a nice experience, that left ripples of emotions, in my heart, when that lady's voice dropped those notes into the lagoon of my ears. Had I gone to the concert, afterwards, that stone being dropped in that water wouldn't have caused the same ripples, to my perception of things.
The story about the car to your university graduation is absolutely goosebumps.
Aww 🥰
Each friday you make people feel on top of the world. Your positiveness, kindness and warmth are really a present for us. You are the ray of sunshine that touches our being in a cold morning and embraces us. The ray of sunshine that makes the flower lives. You are the light that illuminates the darkness of our ignorance. You aren't a hidden gem. You are the gem that everybody sees and wants to achieve. You are the sun that gives happiness to whole people after the heavy rain. That's what you are!!!

Thank you for your comment 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I stopped wrapping my head around the question why I love these videos so much quite some time ago. Whatever Catherine, sometimes the strawberry or cherry girl, but always a ray of sunshine 😊 presents, it is enthusiastic (like she is bouncing off the walls) and certainly a highlight of the week. Really great stuff that I love ❤ … have a great weekend.😊
🤗🤗😊😊 thank youuu so much for watching 🤗🤗
I still remember we went in massive numbers to the
cinema to see that , definitely noteworthy and - no doubt everyone will agree - a very romantic and gripping movie " The Blue Lagoon " with lovely young star actress Brooke Shields ,and for sure I recommend everyone to go see that gem of a movie .
Thank you kathy for your nice soul and lovely spirit with flavour of spring and body of shine..❤❤❤
Thank you!!
🤗🤗🤗
Hello, Katharine.😊 As summer has just come, I feel like going to a lagoon to look for a hidden gem.🦀🐚🐟️ To me, you're such a ray of sunshine because you do fill my screen with an air of joy and happiness.🥰 Thank you for pouring your heart into making such a super awesome video. 🤩💕
Aww 🤗🤗🤗
My english rose, thank to pour your heart in all your videos. You are an excellent teacher and I'm leaning a lot with you. I'm nothing but grateful. 🌹
Thank you soooo much 🤗😊
Finding your CZcams Channel was a hidden gem 💎 for me this year 🙈💖. They are adorable, wozy cozy idioms, my darling 😊. My only weakness with all of 'em, it is translate 'em to Mexican Spanish, 'cause; you know, they are idioms 😂! Some are a piece of cake 🥞 and others not too much. In any case, I will do my best to learn 'em ☺. Your first video of the month! It is so exciting! Now, I know you love cherries! I have no proof, but I have no doubt either 😆. Thanks a million, Katherine! We will see us next Friday 🥰.
🤗🤗🤗 welcome!! 😊😊😊
@@englishwithkatharine No, thanks to you! Have a great weekend 😇.
I've already added this set of idioms to my Anki. Thank you Katherine for pouring your heart into this channel. It's awesome. You're doing a great job ❤
Thank you sooo much 🤗🤗
Katherine, I live your style of teaching.

Dear Katharine, thanks a lot🎉 I wish you a wonderful Summer! ❤
Thank you!! 🤗🤗
Come rain or shine I never miss your super informative lectures .Thank you
🤗🤗
In 1953, following reports that pro-Soviet literature had made its way into overseas libraries operated by the United States Information Service, a branch of the State Department, the US Senate Committee on Government Operations sent two investigators, Roy Cohn and G. David Schine, to Europe to investigate the USIS stations. USIS librarians began saying things like, "we will continue to meet regularly, come Cohn or Schine."
Thanks a lot, Katherine!!!!!!!
I am on top of the world after watching this video. You are an Ary of sunshine.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you, Katherine
from Egypt 🇪🇬
Thx a lot ❤❤❤❤❤
"Once bitten twice shy" reminds me of a Turkish idiom that goes: "Sütten ağzı yanan yoğurdu üfleyerek yer", the direct translation for which is "He whose mouth is burnt drinking milk eats yogurt blowing on it". The overall message is completely the same as we also use it for such situations.
😅😅 great example !!
I'm absolutely on the top of the world for following your channel Miss Katherine ❤️
🤗🤗
Tank you sooo much . I am very happy with your lessons. I live in Scotland and I'm still learning the language.✨
Come rain or shine, I will be always watching your lessons. Your lessons are so helpful and captivating 😊
That’s so great 🤗🤗🤗
English beauty in all its dimensions
Hi Kath,
I Love to use this Idiom:I am on Top of the World.
😃
Thanks Friend for your lesson.
Warm Regards.
🤗🤗🤗
I really love to hear your voice and your positive attitude🤍🤍🤍
Very nice idioms! To be used in the right context when speaking. Teacher Katharine thank you so much for this amazing presentation 😊!
You’re very welcome ☺️
The idiom "once bitten twice shine" was in the lyrics of the song " Last Xmas " of Wham
What a coincidence! ...I also burnt the midnight oil two days ago to have a project done until 4 am while, perhaps, you were pouring your heart into this new video...and you are right!... it has connotation: Cinderella, just like you,
Hello my dear teacher!! You are a Ray of sunshine!!! I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤
Aww that’s so lovely 😍😍
❤❤. I love following from bogota❤❤
Hi Katharine. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome 😊😊😊
Thank you Catherine 🥰
I love the British accent .
Katherine, have you ever considered writing books? Your statements are characterized by a dynamic, vivid and attractive narrative. The world is wonderful and people know it, unfortunately the grayness of life kills it. writing good writing shows the world as we would like to see it. Do this and the world will be more beautiful! I'm sure!
You are so kind ,thank you very much for learning your language. ❤
You’re welcome!! 😚😚
You are such a great person,,, thanks for your fantastic videos
Such cute teacher you really a ray of sunshine
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love your Received Pronunciation (British English accent) Katherine very much !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You`re such a ray of sunshine as well! 😇
Thank you for the lovely idioms! They are very useful and enrich the vocabulary!
Glad you think so 😊😊😊
Hello lovely teacher , I m gonna watch your videos ,
" come rain or shine " , expressing consistency and loyalty .
I like the "come rain or come shine " song performed, among others ,
best by Jazz Diva singer Norah Jones and
star trumpet player Wynton Marsalis
Greeting from your Dutch long - term , everlasting fan ! 💋Kiss !
Oh thank you so much 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank You Katharine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🤗🤗
Once bitten , twice shy ... In Argentina we have one similar.... " Cuando uno se quema con leche , ve la vaca y llora" .. in English maybe it doesn't have sense but I'll try to translate it literally... "When You burnt yourself with milk, if You see the cow , You start to cry..." ....
'Once bitten, twice shy!'
We can see in that idiom all the genious that lies in a formula; Its says in only 4 words more than a long sentence of explanation about experience.
Maybe you know its equivalent in French? ... here, we don't say 'Une fois mordu, deux fois peureux!' (literal translation), but we have an idiom that bears and conveys exactly the same meaning and this is no less genious ! I let you appreciate:
'Chat échaudé craint l'eau froide!' = scalded cat fears of cold water!
A cat having experienced the throes of hot water will even be afraid of cold water (even though it's inoffensive).
❤
Thank you Katharine :)
🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Teacher
You’re welcome ☺️😊
You are a hidden gem in you tube videos ❤

Hallo my princess, how are you getting on? Come rain or shine, we are all here to see your wonderful videos, because we trust you and your expertise. Personally. when you speak I'm on top of the world, walking on air, cause I know that I'm about to learn something useful and positive...I find "once bitten twice shy" an amazing idiom as it gives the proper idea of what happens at that moment.; I relate it along with "to give someone a taste of their own medicine". I admit...I don't need any caffeine to be bouncing off the walls...it's enough for me to see you in a video! to make a long story short, you are a ray of sunshine, a precious gem we got by all of a sudden...and we keep on thanking God for it! Never change the way you are, my princess, God bless every step you take! Have an amazing weekend, bye!
🌸🌸🌼🌼 thank youuu
Hi teacher , I just wanted to tell you that you're special teacher and Im grateful for your videos and your effort . I love your accent and Im looking forward to speak like you one day❤️✨️
That’s very kind 🤗
My favorite: To put your heart into something ❤🎉
😻
" Burning the midnight oil " conjures a picture of
a university student in the old days , studying with an oil- lamp on the table , that he had to re-fill from time to time , working tirelessly into deep in the night and after mid-night , revising for an important exam he has to pass the next day.
BTW I used an electric lamp in the old days , with "just in time " learning those thick
medical books .🪔
Yessss that was me as a student 🥰

Hello Katharine!
What do you think about Australian accent?
