Learn English with Steve Ford- Peppy 21(Head Idioms)

[pamelbia2011]

Idioms are really interesting because they are not readily understandable. But once you get the meaning, it is nice to use them.

Steve do you know Russian???

[Joyobede]

Thank you, Steve I have learn so much from you. God bless.

[natalkafromrussia]

can we actually say: "that person is burying THEIR head in the sand" like Steve is saying here?

i mean, English is not my native language, just wondering..

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Здравствуйте!

In informal English many people use the pronoun 'their' to represent his/her. However, in academic English his/her would be the only one commonly accepted.

Я надеюсь, что это помогает вам!

До свидания

Steve

[natalkafromrussia]

Вот это да!! (Wow!!) Thank you Steve! You know Russian?i'm impressed. thanks a lot for the explanation. i was just watching another video of yours. I'm learning so much from them.You are an amazing teacher. Да, Ваши видео очень полезные, Вы так всем помогаете! Удачи Вам во всём! Наташа

Right! I understand this from a zoologist's perspective, nevertheless, we still use the ostriche in this idiom !

Ostrica ! That's interesting as I know there are similar words ending in ' a ' for oyster in Portuguese and Spanish. I wish you all the best in the UK and I am happy my videos are helping you!

Ciao! Ciao!

Steve

hi steve

ostriches don't ever put their head in the sand. never!!

it's just a legend!

and more, ostrich in italian sounds like "ostrica" that means Oyster in english.

anyway, i want really to thank you for your lessons. I'm going to work in the UK and i find them so usefull.

could you say something about diminutives, endearments, augmentatives. we use them a lot in italian.

thanks again. ciao

I love to watch such moments from the movies people make :)

[Felipiin1993]

Hi Steve ! About the expression "To laugh yr headd off" (it's already happeneed with me !), and I want to know if it's already happened with you 2 when you were recording an "aula".!

Please answer me.. taake care :D

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hi claudiacollares,

Yes that is the correct meaning of hard headed!!!!

Excellent!

Steve

[claudiacollares]

hard headed = cabeça dura

né?

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hi gescmex,

Try to learn as much as you can from native speakers by immitating them! Why not practise in front of a mirror or if you are living in a country where English is the mother tongue, you could join some community groups where everybody speaks English.

Take care!

Steve

[gescmex]

Very amazing videos..Your're a great teacher.. Do you now how to increse my english to sound as an engish speaker...I'm a care rep and sometimes the people who I speak with, notice that I'm not an american. Is there a way I could have some extara lessons, cuz I'm not in an english country and it is very frustrating..I know the practice could help, but I think I need more help..Thank you for share those videos and hope you can answer. Have a nice day!!

Hi!

Get over = recuperate, recover

"I've got to forget someone"? (I know that "to avoid" and "to forget" someone can mean the same thing, but for me there's a difference...)"

Get over means forget in this case. It doesn't matter if you avoid them or not, the important thing is 'to let someone go'

Steve

[allyeen]

Oh, now I understand.. Thanks, you're a very good teacher, Steve!

[allyeen]

Hey Steve! I wanna know if when I say "I've got to get over someone" it means "I've got to avoid someone" or it's more like "I've got to forget someone"? (I know that "to avoid" and "to forget" someone can mean the same thing, but for me there's a difference...)

And by the way, your videos are helping me so much! :)

Thank you!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey Agnieszka! You rock! Thanks for your comment! It's comments like yours that help me to have more inspiration for my videos!

Shine and reach!

Steve

[AgnieszkaD1990]

I always laugh my head off when watching your vidoes Steve! You are so funny! I guess, it's a very good method od learning. And being hard-headed is one of my personality trait.. I'm starting to feel compassion for my future husband!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hi Rolf! Thanks for your feedback! It means a lot to be able to reach out to people so that I can share my knowledge with them!

Saludos desde Canada

This is the best way to promote a language, by teaching it in such a delightful way. Legislating a language has been proven fatal, see Québec or Catalonia. You are doing a great job!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey John! I keep getting more encouragement from people like you, so this helps!

Steve

[johntrenchenglish77]
