why I can’t see the video?
Our videos are all on Youtube, so if you are watching from China, they may be blocked.
Me too, i’m so sad
you can rent a VPN in china,so that watching the course on line can be feasible。
Me too, I saw this video on bilibili :)
video is from youtube so we cant play it ,but we can find the video in bilibili

Hi Gill,
Many thanks for these useful expressions with “bite”. :)
Hello Gill! Thanks so much for this useful lesson.
Ni teacher,thank you so much for this lesson that is as useful as all your lessons.
Hi teacher
Thank you Jill, your lesson is good.
Hi Gill,
Thank you so much for the lesson. Can we use the expression “His bark is worse then his bite” in all situations, I mean will it be offensive to the one who is mentioned in the sentence when we talk about him like that.
Hi Ixora — thanks for your question. You’re right, the expression could cause offence if used in the wrong context/situation, so it has to be used with care. And it’s usually said about someone who isn’t there to hear it … ;-)
I got it. Thank you so much Gill.
This video is very….biting!
Thank you Gill. I’ve also found some useful expressions, such as: “If you can’t bite, don’t show your teeth” and “The biter is often bit”.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GILL, YOUR LESSON IS SO GOOD FOR ME.
Thanks to your lesson eight different “bite words” meaning I understand.
8 of 10, not bad at all
This lesson is very nice! Thank you Gill !
In Brazil there is a similar expression for the sentence “I had to bite my tongue”, but with another meaning. We use the expression when somebody gossip about the life of a person and that fact happens with himself.
Thank you for this awesome lesson Gill.
It was funny.Thanks.
Thank you for the interesting and useful lesson.
Hi teacher.
Our neighbour Threatens us to call the police, but a barking dog never bite.
Regards!
Hello, Gill! Thank you for the nice lesson! Learning a language is much more than knowing grammar rules, but we also have to understand idioms, slang and culture. And you are helping us in this field. Bye!
Hello, Gill! I really breathe your lessons! “His bark is worse than his bite.”
We have the similar expressions in our culture…
“His bark is worse than his bite.”
Cainele (the dog) care (which) latra (bark) nu musca (doesn’t bite)…

Why didn’t you mention the origin of the idiom ‘Bite the bullet’?
about the soldiers who bite the bullet to bear the pain
I wonder what may have originally been – ‘bite the billet’
Here is detailed and interesting – https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/bite-the-bullet.html

May i ask you something please?

I think for question no. 8, both “bite the lip” and “bite the tongue” work.
