    After the video, I've just forgotten everything 😅 but, the good thing is just listening to you two. Thanks.
  • Hi, I wanted to say thank you for your videos. In June, I had a CAE exam for which I’ve learned a lot in this year. Your videos helped me with that, especially my speaking skills could improve thanks to you. I recently received the results and I passed with 196 points. I’m very happy with this and actually surprised that it went out so well. For this reason, thank you for providing such valuable content for English learners of all levels, you’re a great teacher
  • @kalinaluz1106
    I love this video! It reminded me about my English teacher Keneward, who helped me with the desert and dessert spelling. For those who know German, just make a connection between the two languages like that eat = eSSen, you eat the deSSert. No more drama from that moment on 😂 ❤ At some point, we have to start building bridges between the languages we know little or more about. Any stories behind the word origin turn the learning into understanding as well. ❤

    Hi, Ben! I shared my statement of result in your Instagram DM's. I am very happy with my results: 204 overall, 210 UOE, 204 Reading, 200 Speaking, 201 Listening, 203 Writing! Thank you so much for all the tips and advice. Your YouTube channel is outstanding!
  • @moler195
    Hi Ben! First of all thank you for another video. As you know I am preparing for the CPE and when you publish a new video of vocabulary I write the words you teach us because they are an excellent way to gain points in the speaking and also your videos are really entertaining. Take care!
  • It's always fun to be invited onto Ben's channel. I was 'chomping at the bit' to get my teeth into some of Ben's fossil words!
  • I'm not a native speaker, but I'm glad I predicted the "Without (any) further ado" phrase 😊
  • @manuela7182
    Thanks Ben! Craig is a great guest, I think.
  • Thank you for the specific video,that's rather involving in the process of guessing the meanings of the words!
  • @silpap4458
    Your videos are so useful, thank you so much for all you do!

    As a person who has been completely head over heels with the English language (Brit) for about 20 years, and consider myself an anglophile from Argentina, I cant thank u enough for this video, this content, the lesson, the phrases, the info in nuances and etymology of the words. Wow! Im at a loss for words. You've made my day. Ive never heard nor read thesenphrases, and I spend all day everyday reading, watching and listening English, my Mancunian friend used 1 of these haha now I guess he tries to keep it simple for me. I LOVE learning this kind of things. I enrolled in your course last month and I enjoy answering the quizzes in the chat, learning nuances in the lessons and watching the videos to improve my writing skills bc my goal is to write a book someday and I want to do it in English as well. Bang for the buck indeed!! Thank u, Ben! Keep up the brilliant work and please keep these kind of videos coming! And no... Im not overreacting, ppl! 😂😂 I am THIS happy w this video. 🩵
  • Hi Ben I gave a short shrift to your latest video but I wait with baited breath for your new course. For all your effort, much more followers is what you just desert😂(I really didn't want to make a negative sentence). Thanks fot this amazing video, you were both fantastic, loved it. Most of all I was chomping at the bit to learn more English expressions to widen my horizon.😊
  • @wenaperxa
    I loved this vid. I usually like your videos but I especially enjoyed this one. Quick question though: He got just his just deserts and he had it coming could be considered similar expressions? I try to keep my vocabulary up to date using couples.
  • @jroger7701
    Could you please explain a little more about, what is diffrent between " Shebang and Caboodle"? For exemple, Can I use 'Shebang' word in a sentance like you've said "When I moved house, I took the whole shebang in a van"?
  • @Denielgunz
    Loved the video! What's the app you are using to show the cards with the idioms to Craig?
  • @gemucca
    As always, your videos are so useful and informative. Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful summer.
  • @MustafaMirdan
    Hi Ben! I love your videos they are of a higher level of English. Is there "a book" that you recommend "on collocations" for advanced level?
