Free English Class! 🥚🥚🐤 Topic: Advice...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Welcome to this free English class on Sayings, Proverbs, and Idioms. In this English lesson I'll talk about little things we say in English when we give advice, and a good explanation about what each saying means.

In the English language we tend to use a lot of cute phrases.  These sayings and idioms may not mean exactly what you think they mean. Sometimes they are very difficult to figure out!

In this free English class I'll help you learn the meaning of phrases like: Look before you leap, don't count your chickens before they hatch, don't add insult to injury, Rome wasn't built in a day, honesty is the best policy and many more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about phrases we use to give advice! Have a great day!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sIEGP5EuX0 or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Advice"
