You have turned teaching English into an art. Every new video is a treat, always a pleasure. Thank you!
The pleasure is mine.
I speak (American) English as my first language. I live in Michigan. That said, I still find your videos absolutely captivating. You explain the English language so easily. Thank you mister Gideon for your excellent work 🙏🏼 Your work is so valuable. Have a great day.
Born and bred Yorkshire, but Gideon, you make me think so much about my own language. Thank you.
As a native (North American) english speaker, I enjoy this channel immensely. "Bound" can also be used to indicate a journey, as in "headed for", either literally or figuratively. "I'm bound for California". " He was bound for glory". She was raised in a good home but was bound for trouble from the start". This usage is a bit archaic in the literal form but not the figuratve - I guess it was bound to happen...
Hey there Mike, I'd like to ask you something: in Italian we have a say which goes something like "with the ifs and buts you won't get anywhere". What if I said it to you during an English conversation? Would it just sound weird? Is there something similar you would say?
"Hello dear coach! 👋🏽 I want just to let you know that on September 26, 2023, around 2 pm local time, I saw you in Paris. I was having lunch at a restaurant, enjoying my sandwich, when you walked by."
I would like to thank you for everything you have done or doing. You're one of the best. I'm a fan.
Ok, next time stop and say "hello".
@@LetThemTalkTVIt was so quick, but definitely next time, I will 🙏🏻
@@Sofiane.B Why do people drem about visiting Paris?
- to see Notre-Dame
- to visit Louvre
- to climb the Eiffel tower
- to say _hello_ to Gideon 🙃

Hello Gideon. Thank you very much for your video on binomials❤. It's as wonderful as always. I kept looking for the description box and there it is. Would be great if you could pin it right in the top. Anyway, I have been enjoying your videos so much, and I've learned a lot through watching them. So, I've just gladly purchased the mp3 and the pdf to support your channel as I've benefited from your videos a lot. I will leave a comment once I complete my learning. Wishing you a good night.
Thank so much for helping us with our English learning journey, Gideon! Keep up the good job! ; )
I'm the one that wrote Grammer isn't important and you read out my comment. I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me ! It happened in 2018 / 19. Not late for apologies though 😔
Thank you very much Sir , you are best teacher ever , I'm very thankful for your every lesson video
You are the best student ever
My father is from Germany, and he’s always said “forth and back” despite my mother’s constant correction. In Germany they say “hin und zuruck” which means “forth and back,” and when you think about it, it does make more sense
Same thing in Spanish
@@santiagosanz9732 And in Polish: _tam i z powrotem._
Gideon is back! May I count for restart your podcast - my favorite "Zeitgeist Banana"? And thank you sir!
Yes, it's been a long time. I'm working on it thanks.
Hello from Ukraine. Thank you for your non-trivial videos🙂
watching this from China. Your vids are super helpful. I watch them during commute hours.
YOU are simply THE best teacher Gideon!!👏👏Thanks for your videos!!😃
You are the best! Many thanks
Your way is superb man.. My kiddo is trying to excel English speaking skill and you are a great teacher.. ❤
Thank you Gideon, for the clear explanation and clever examples.
It's my pleasure
Lo and behold, you did it again! One more superb video, I mean.
Public speaker I must say low and behold alot! Now am no holds barred!😂😅😊
@@harvestmoon3595
Kudos!
Absolutely great!! Very useful, thanks so very much Gideon ❤️❤️
Really really love your channel ❤️ your knowledge on background is on a different level 👌 I only discovered you 2 days ago, but I am hooked.
You are the best teacher. Thanks.
Wonderful sir , thank you so much
As brilliant as the previous one .thank you sir G.
Thank you so much, its very useful and interesting
Gideon is definitely a tall, dark and handsome teacher ❤
You should have ended with "over and out". :-)
Yes, you're right, I hadn't thought of that.
It's a pue pleasure to listen to you, I'm glad you're back 😊
It's a pleasure to read your comment, but I never went away.
You are fabulous!!!
'By hook or by crook I will finish this by Tuesday' - you said. Why do we have to learn such complicated tenses like future perfect if even the best native English teacher in the world doesn't use them? I would appreciate a quick and dirty explanation.
_"First and foremost"_ goes hand in hand with _"last but not least."_
What an informative and constructive video ! Your teaching method is always efficient ..Thank you so much Gideon .
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks
Once again, brilliant job!
P.S. I noticed a typo at 1:30 ("look, stock and barrel")
Thanks.
Your binomial, "no ifs or buts," caught my attention. I'm more accustomed to the trinomial phrase, "no ifs, ands or buts." Is that a North American variation (I'm Canadian), or is that phrase also common on your side of the pond??
Actually, I think you're right. When researching for the video I found Americans saying "no if and or buts" but here in the UK we omit the "and"
@@LetThemTalkTV Hi Gideon. (Great name by the way. I have a grandson by that name!!) Here is another trinomial for you that is similar to "lock, stock, and barrel," which has a similar meaning but is used in a different context -- "hook, line, and sinker." It still carries the connotation of 'all, everything" but is used more in the context of something spoken, such as, "I fabricated a story to hide my responsibility for the loss of the contract and the boss took it hook, line and sinker." It is most often used with telling stories, lies, and deceptions. Have a great day!! Love your videos!!
Yes, I know hook, line and sinker. I use it a lot. Best wishes to you and to Gideon your grandson. I'm sure he's a fine boy.
Great content and also great bracelet. Thank you.
Whats so good about the bracelet?
@@AndreiBerezin Sorry, I won't explain as one must have brain to understand it. For pity, many people are deprived of it in some countries.
@@quidquamquaero5694 especially the one where you come from
Dear Gideon, don't loaf and lounge, we need more videos like this! 😄
Let me tell you I've been working morning, noon and night.
I hope you liked my binomial pair, I worked hard to make it up 😅@@LetThemTalkTV
Your videos are always a delight and having an mp3 lesson to listen to again and again on the bus will be very helpful! 😇 You definitely deserve funds for all the time and efforts you are ploughing into this channel.
It’s great that you have a newsletter as well, you better not sell my email address to other teachers though!! 😂
Is Zeitgeist Banana’s return still on the cards?
Thanks for for you comments. I hope the mp3 make your bus rides back and forth to wherever your headed more pleasant. Now and again I put in time and effort. Jon is visiting Paris soon and Zeitgeist Banana is first and foremost on the agenda.
@@LetThemTalkTV I am so excited!! ❤️ I’d check out anything Jon or yourself release, you both are great teachers and come across as both adorable and relatable. I am really looking forwards to your newsletter
Reversing the binomial pairs order is one of my guilty pleasures on occasion... square and fair... it's a sure way to throw some people off. Same with the ablaut reduplication. 😄
Nice lesson as always Gideon.
Yes, then and now I do the same thing. It's a tested and tried formula for success
My physics teacher unintentionally got the whole class laughing by saying (in Dutch) "zeker en vast" instead of "vast en zeker" (= most certainly). Later I realised that "zeker en vast" is standard Flemish, whereas "vast en zeker" is standard Dutch.
In my family there are two sets of twins. Their names are always pronounced in the same order, and it would be really strange to reverse them. I suppose this a universal phenomenon.
In Italian we have a say which goes something like "with the ifs and buts you won't get anywhere". What if I said it during an English conversation? Would it just sound weird? Is there something similar in English?
Hello Gideon, you should invite that "cousin of yours" who speaks with a Cockney accent, he's a great figure!
Spick and span exists in Dutch too but I guess you knew that, I just read an article dating the expression in both languages to around 1570 while it's not clear (or so it was presented here) which of the two languages took it from the other, would you know any more about this specific case? Massive fan of your show, thanks!
I did not know it was used in touch. Perhaps the Dutch one came first. Many thanks
There is a cleaning product in the US called "Spic and Span" that my mom used in the 1970s. I think it's still sold here, but I've not thought of it for ages!
@@LetThemTalkTV interestingly, the spelling of the Dutch version is 'Spic en span' - the c in spic is a bit surprising to me. I wonder if this is an indicator for the origin. It's supposed to be a certain kind of nail which was used in Shipbuilding. But those are elsewhere referred to as spik with a k.
@@mathgeek7966 aha now the plot thickens! I just read that this cleaning product was imported into Holland from the 1920s. And the spelling of Spic in the name is with a c, not CK! Could it be the Dutch changed the spelling of the expression accordingly after half a century of using the American cleaning product?
Same in Italy. Cheerio. Kitia
Lock, stock & barrel ~ _mydło, szydło, motowidło_ (Polish).
SEEN AND DONE I have seen and done much more than I expected.
Done and dusted
Fun video, thanks! When you started with math terms I was really curious what interesting topic you would introduce! I like "done and dusted" but haven't heard it much here in the US.
@@LetThemTalkTV Dead and buried.
Hi Gideon, Is an "Elephant in the room" a binomial?
This channel is alive and kicking.
There's a 3rd meaning to "bound" which can be found in a phrase from American long haul trucker culture - Eastbound and Down. Would that phrase qualify as a binomial? It's not exactly universally understood.
A partner to your example "give and take" could be "come and go"
Bound is just the verbal form of bounce and also the stem of rebound. 😂
Thank you very much.. Your channel is wonderful and I learned new things about the Cockney dialect that I have not yet memorized but I was happy to learn it.. I pray to God to open your heart to Islam.. Try to read a translated Qur’an.💗
Thank you I appreciate your comments.
Howdy! Is it possible to find this binomials in a thick Longman?
The video already looked
Thanks a lot
Bye for now
Wow
"Right as rain" is not used here in North America. It would be understood here, but more like "an accent".
A couple pet peeves of mine are:
• using "I" when "me" would be grammatically correct.
Example "... to my sister and I"
• "only" and "just" placed before the verb rather than after.
Example "I only ran to the store" vs. "I ran only to the store".
The first one precludes any action other than "running".
The second one specifies that the store was the only place I traveled to.
"Me and my sister" is perfectly correct English. I'll be covering this fake rule in a future video.
@LetThemTalkTV - "to my sister and me" and "to me and my sister" are both acceptable. My complaint is when "I" is substituted for the correct "me" in spoken English.
I do look forward to that future video.
@@LetThemTalkTV I hope Obama will watch it ;-)
You can search hither and yon but you won't find a more entertaining channel.
Just to add; in American English one says "No ifs, ands, or buts." Same meaning, just different common usage.
yes, I just found out that Americans say it differently (not for the first time)>
Is "lickety split" a binomial?
I've never heard 'quick and dirty', and I thought my English was really quite good.
"By hook or by crook I will finish this by Tuesday" Would you be so kind as to elaborate why you didn't use future perfect instead of future simple. I cannot wrap my head around it.
Gideon I made a mistake, my message in another video..😄. Summer hits me hard here, I acquired your material, I'll give you feedback, I really like it already💗💗😉
to receive 2 messages from you is twice the pleasure. I hope you enjoy to material.
@@LetThemTalkTV For me equally pleasant
Another trinomial is "tall, dark and handsome"
I made a video some time ago which, modesty aside, was absolutely brilliant. Ha ha ha
Sir,you often vibrate your voice high and low pitch which we do miss your clear voice.
Thanks.
Sorry for my inconsistency
u'v forgot:
spit and image.
by and large
binomials, more & more. hilarious, more or less.
Binomials are part and parcel of the English language.
But some day I might get sick and tired of them.

In for a penny, in for a pound. 😀
catenative verbs master class is needed!!! There aren´t profesional information.
Yeah, unfortunately most English people would be saying 'What the fudge is a binomial pair ... but they definitely shouldn't be allowed to adopt children'.
You made me laugh.
@@LetThemTalkTV It's only funny because it's true, by and large 😄
