In this English lesson, I go over several idioms that have to do with hair: let one's hair down, hair's breadth, hair trigger, split hairs, hare-brained, hair of the dog that bit him.
this lesson was really amazing specially the way that James teach.

2. We were a hair’s breadth away from getting caught. (= we were almost caught)

Hi James
I did not understand your lesson,because you taught very fast and without writing down on the witheboard.
your act is so good but your knowledge’s transfer to your students is not so good,you know better than us that all your students are not in the same level.
haman87
I was just about to say that. People who watch his videos are not native speakers and there are people in different levels, so it was very difficult for me to understand
Milena Camargo
Hello James! This was the first lesson what I did not enjoy so much not even understood fully. It would have been good to see the idioms in written on the board with its definition maybe. You were pretty quick. And so on. So, I have to go through again what is not a problem at all. Although anyway I want to repeat all of your lessons, so my “complaint” is nothing at all. Never mind. Let see again:)
Andahazy
please check the Title and description of the lesson.

Wow! Wonderful lesson. Thank you. Quite challenging though. And I like that.

Unfortunately, there is an echo and a noise (as a motor) during the lesson(
