hi Dear Alex.i listen your lessons with great pleasure.you explain everything very good.i think i have learnt much more important idioms thanks to you.
Ugur
Hi Ugur. I am fond of his explanation. He is perfect, I think.
Ugur
it was excellent!!!
Alex I would like to ask you, what´s the difference between idiom and slang?
thank you.
walter beda
Hi Walter,
That is an excellent question, and one that is not easy to answer.
Slang is usually used by young people, or within a certain group of people. For example, hockey players have their own slang. “Give me the biscuit” means “Pass me the hockey puck.” Slang changes the meanings of words, and is usually only understood by people who are in a particular group. Slang can also destroy proper grammatical structures.
Idioms are more universal in the English language. An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase whose literal meaning is different from its intended meaning. If I say “he has two left feet,” the literal meaning is much different than the intended meaning.
Can you please explain to me
the different btw slang-casual English ??
rawan
thank you very much!!))
i have a little question) in the test i have seen this sentence”You agree with my conclusion?” but i was learnt that the construction of the interrogative sentence must be like this “do you agree with my… ”
is it always allowed to ask in that way?(like you wrote)
thank you)))
Lina
Hi Lina,
I used “You agree with my conclusion?” not as interrogative, but as a clarifying statement/question. It’s like saying “So, you agree with me.”
Here is another example:
Alex: I thought that movie was terrible.
Lina: Yeah, I thought so too.
Alex: You agree with my opinion? Wonderful!
It would be silly to ask an interrogative question after you said “Yeah, I thought so too.” By saying/asking “you agree with my opinion?” I am not really asking if you agree with my opinion, but clarifying and re-stating that fact.
I hope this helps and makes sense!
Alex
thank u so much!
Lina
=)))))))))
Thanks a lot)

Hello Alex,
Thank you for your clear lesson on some idioms related to some parts of our body.
I’ve got two left feet by the way. So the first idiom becomes me perfect. (Hope this sentence makes sense.)
Looking forward to your next lesson..
Bye for now.

first i want to offer my thanks to you for your informative video lessons i love your teaching style.Apart from that i have a question to ask is that the sentence “keep your nose out of someone`s business” is a rude and impolite sentence? or it`s just a regular kind of telling someone that not to concern himself for others problems.
I`m looking forward to the answer.
samaneh
i`m not patient enought. i`d be thankful if someone answers my question.
samaneh
Hi samaneh,
It is a very strong statement, and it may sound rude depending on how you use it. I would not use it as a regular part of my speech, especially if you are in a formal situation. It is fine with close friends or it may be used if you are angry or if you WANT to be forceful with someone.
Alex
thanks for your concerns

alexandria09
hi alex,
This is really helpful,apart from that could you clarify the difference between ‘keep your nose out of my business’ and ‘Maintain your low profile’.which one of these are more polite?
srikavicitizen
To keep a low profile means to be inconspicuous, or not to be too obvious in a situation. You can hear this in many spy or action movies. :)
“Keep your nose out of my business” is not really polite, and is used if you are angry or annoyed with someone who will not leave you alone.
The two phrases are different. I would say that “keep a low profile” is more polite, because it is helpful advice. “Keep your nose out of my business” is a much stronger imperative, and shows that the speaker is upset.
Alex
it was really helpfull for me .
thank you so much sir!

Alex I would like to ask you, what´s the difference between idiom and slang?

Hi Walter,
That is an excellent question, and one that is not easy to answer.
Slang is usually used by young people, or within a certain group of people. For example, hockey players have their own slang. “Give me the biscuit” means “Pass me the hockey puck.” Slang changes the meanings of words, and is usually only understood by people who are in a particular group. Slang can also destroy proper grammatical structures.
Idioms are more universal in the English language. An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase whose literal meaning is different from its intended meaning. If I say “he has two left feet,” the literal meaning is much different than the intended meaning.

Thanks a lot, Alex. This is very interesting and useful information.
hi alex,
This is really helpful,apart from that could you clarify the difference between ‘keep your nose out of my business’ and ‘Maintain your low profile’.which one of these are more polite?
To keep a low profile means to be inconspicuous, or not to be too obvious in a situation. You can hear this in many spy or action movies. :)
“Keep your nose out of my business” is not really polite, and is used if you are angry or annoyed with someone who will not leave you alone.
The two phrases are different. I would say that “keep a low profile” is more polite, because it is helpful advice. “Keep your nose out of my business” is a much stronger imperative, and shows that the speaker is upset.
it was really helpfull for me .
thank you so much sir!
i really like your lessons . thank very much .
