    Hello Ana! Has anyone told you that your channel is the "best thing since sliced ​​bread"? What? No? "Hold your horses", someone has to tell it: there are plenty of teachers on the Internet, but you are the one who best plays all the roles as an actor. Your performances are brilliant. I guess you are told to "break a leg" every time you shoot a new video, which seems obvious -you don't need to address the "elephant in the room" to know it-. I'm becoming a "couch potato" watching your performances!!! I "go bananas" with them, as well as with your enlightening teachings..... In a nutshell: you rock! 😎

    Loved the conversation you wrote and played immaculately. I'd love to listen to this part more and more because it does not only include the idioms and phrased but also all attributes for instance, intonation, linking words, vocabs and sentence structure, pronunciation and etc.

    I wonder if 'put a sock in it' has to do with loudspeakers. People sometimes put a sock in them to make them quieter of with less bass.

  • @manuelgordillo520

    I just realized I have been holding for a long time the idea that "pardon my French" is when you have an appalling accent in English. Never is too late for learning you had been making mistakes until Anna, let me see more of them. Good Job.

    Congrats . You are doing a terrific job . And your accent is crystal clear . Extremely intelligible to the foreign ear . Such videos on informal idioms and expressions are helpful to foreign learners who have been brought up on a staple diet of sublime literature and weighty essays by masters such as Russell , Huxley and Snow . Keep up your good work .

    I’m turning into a couch potato! I blame videos like these because I’m always keeping my eyes peeled for your new uploads!
    By the way, is a “loungeroom lizard” the same thing as a couch potato? I’ve always wondered! EDIT: According to Google it’s something very different!
