You were really cool doing that lesson,though! LOL I like your style dude, but I’m not gay kkkk…. you really outdid yourself.
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!
James,
Thank you a lot, this is a great video lecture on idioms with foot. However, this video would be even better if it addressed some other popular idioms with foot like: itchy feet, put one’s foot in it, shoot in the foot. Inspite of this I think that this video is very useful as is.

Hello, James! Thanks a lot for you lessons on idioms. They really help. What about phrases and idioms with “odds”? It makes no odds, the odds are that, it’s odds on that, against all the odds and so on. Could you help with that, please?
Cool Teacher and awesome lesson.
It’s a Awesome Explanation in this lesson. I enjoy your engvid. Thanks a lot.
you are fabulous teacher ,,
James, you´re great, you teach and make me leght!! Please keep this site!
Hi James and EngVid.com! ;)
I couldn’t find an option how to leave a general comment or a tip, so I had to use one of the videos…
I’ve noticed that among your videos on idioms there’s no one explaining Home and house idioms. Since there’re really plenty of them, I was thinking that it could be quite a good idea to make one or two videos on them, what do you think?
Congratolation James, you are very good as teacher
i want to know how many idioms is in this lesson and what is it ??
james u a the boss yard man style
James you know your stuff bro.
U t the beeeeessssssssttttt
Hello Motormouth;-)
If that was a wedding ring on your finger I’m glad you did’t get cold feet on your wedding day!
I’m just wondering how did you get your foot in the door by working for Engvid. If I were you I would do the lesson totally different. Oops, I just put my foot in my mouth. Maybe the other day I will have the opportunity to work for Engvid and I’ll see how it is to have the shoe on the other foot;-) (joking)
Great lesson James, thanks
Very amusing!
very good keep on
James you should be on saturday night show!! :D
Wonderful lesson as always. Thank you.
smoke weed every day
“To put one’s foot down” is an English Idiom which means that someone is serious but not compromise with it, although I thought that it was another concept, then I had a mistake but now I believe that I can use these five topics or idioms with the word “foot”. Thanks a lot, teacher James from Engvid.
Thanks！
Your lesson is funny and someitmes silly!
4/4 :D Thanks alot
