Phrases: "It speaks for itself" & "Speak...

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

Today I'm going to explain two phrases in English – one is saying "something speaks for itself" and the other is telling someone "speak for yourself."

These are very different, and I'll teach them to you by using examples of situations where we'd use these expressions.

To learn a lot more common English phrases for daily situations, you can join our Everyday English Speaking Courses – these will teach you so many of the expressions and phrases that native English speakers use all the time.

The lessons in those courses will help you improve your speaking and your ability to have natural-sounding conversations in English :-)
