sheepish
, it means they are shy, nervous, and have no confidence. If someone is chicken
, it means they are afraid. We will also look at the idiomatic meanings of fishy
, beef
, pig
, squirrely
, sluggish
, and snake
. When it comes to idioms, they are very useful because they allow you to use fewer words to express a broader meaning. And these commonly used animal expressions will come in handy when you are trying to describe people you meet and situations that you encounter with them. So watch the lesson to learn some useful English expressions, and then do the quiz to practice what you’ve learned.

Hello James,
as always absolutely useful lesson.
Btw. it seems you put on weight. Isn’t it? Probably, because of Covid-19 that accounts for the gyms and any public place where you can train have been closed.
I had the same problem but I lost few kg. I had been bulking when the gyms got closed. Fortunately, everything has been reopened in my country that is Poland. Or maybe you started bulking? Do you? I’m just curious.
All the best. :)

I do not like comic movies, you should better to change your pattern about teaching. The women do better, I think. It seems the men do not have enough confidence because they show some body languages. When I want to learn English, I need to listen more. Your body language play nothing role to me. I do not like it.
That was cool, man. Thanks a lot
