go on
or go off
? It “goes off”. But why do we say “off” when it is actually turning “on”? What does it mean to sleep like a baby
? Have you taken a dump
today? It’s weird. It doesn’t make sense. It’s English. Learn these words and expressions so that you can use them correctly, even if they are illogical! Watch this lesson and receive a free gift!

Great. That’s good you have a lot of free time that you can check the website over and over again and be the first one!!!
Or that’s good you access to the net in everywhere.
Good morning, KOTOZ! Good for you, not very good for us. You are really good for challenging: you’ve moped the floor with our group (I mean you defeated us easily, an idiom. I wrote this on purpose not to offend someone with the expression)
New points:
It looks like kotoz is going to tear us all!!!
SKIKDA: 3
Nataanna: 2
Nkh.453: 1
Kotoz : 3!!!!!!
Canardo: 1
Well done!
Thanks to Ronnie, but I suppose I should be Adam’s lesson!
Not the topic is confusing but changing places with Adam!
Merci de bien vouloir
Hello my friends. I’m here with a new suggestion to make here a better and funner place. I feel, in the
Sorry, I continue:
I feel in these days, the web site should be funner and more interesting. So here’s my suggestion: I’m really interested in knowing different countries and becoming familiar with their cultures, sightseeing, etc. So let’s familiarize our country to each other. I start first;
You can visit this website to see my country sightseeing, then come here and tell your opinion about them. We can do it one by one
http://www.yekfun.com/what-is-the-most-beautiful-place-in-iran/
For example I realllllly like to know and see your sightseeing, Nataanna and SKIKDA, and others.
Hi, nkh453! Thanks a lot for the beautiful slide-show, you`ve given a link to. I enjoed it very much. Is the picture of Nobar Bath HouseTabriz on your profile?
Your idea is great. But, I think we should describe something about your country (may be a place of interesting). Like as you wrote before.
And on my opinion, it is more intersting to know some customs, something about relationships, traditions, habits etc.
For example, education…. You`ve already raised the topic. I was surprised about disciplines you should take to enter the medicine Uni. Why do you need maths and physics and no chemistry and biology to study?
Hey
Here we write about english language and in english
No-Problem-O’

Hi Ronnie .
Thank you for your always crazy lesson .
Crazynees is in every langage . Do you know how we say take a dump in French …… To get the cake out of the mould . Ain’t it a poetic expression .
When we sleep like a baby ( it is said in French too ) we sleep on our too ears . How can we do that !? It is physicaly impossible !
See you soon for other weird words and expressions and that doesn”t make me hate english .
Yes! ?
was not bad
Thank u so much Ronnie it was a great and crazy lesson :D waaaaaaaiting for your next LESSON

There is a famous brand of underwear that have the name “Undies”
Thank you, tsamp :)
Take a dump was interesting roonie!
I like your teaching ….I can be better than yesterday.
Hi mam.. .i am beginner here, hope the journey with u would helpful for me.. .m from india. ..
Thank you Roonie! As usually threre are something new and interesting in your lesson.
Exactly, that’s the kind of English that confuses me the most. I just couldn’t understand of the alarm going off. English is so confusing, so hard to put it in order but thanks a lot you really help us understand.
10/10! thanks, Roonie!
Thanks.
can I be your friend? I mean we be just friend at social media ..what is your adress? .. Instagram or facebook.
I have none of them ! I don’t have time to use for these things. I have a lot of books to read. Sometimes I tell myself if it is possible for me to read all the books that I have! Some of them are gifts . Any way you are one of my friends in this website and I respect you. Best regards
Thank you Ronnie. If I’m not wrong you ha mentioned, you will make a lesson from new words that we make. I mean you wanted us to mash up and make new words, then you make a lesson from these. Do you remember????
I had a mistake: …you had mentioned…
10/10.thanks you Ronnie
In Russia we sleep like killed people and eat chicken and fish sticks)))
Dear Ronnie,
i glad to say that i have learning an excellent way to learn English in your classed at Engvid.com, specially your strange voices during class l really like that, OK i have a seen a video on net using the sentence (The salinity of the oceans is not uniform) is this a correct sentense of not please guide your obedient student (Nabi Ahmed)
good lesson
Hi Ronnie,
I hear you said that took a dump in 4:06, right?
Thanks Ronnie for this lesson, it was easy and fun…
You are completely right, those things do not make sense, but it was really interesting. Thanks Ronnie!!
Thanks for a lesson, I think every language have funny mistakes.
A good place to visit to Poland is Wroclaw :)
It hasn’t been a crazy lesson but with a little general sense, I would say that we have learned some ambiguities of the English language, I haven’t realized about the difference among these expressions because I don’t use the English to communicate and speak in Spain, but I do it when I have to arrange a journey to Poland then I have to use the English with fluency. But anyway, I always need to hear to our teachers of EngVid to practice and built my communication skills, a great method to learn English. Like the motto of the president of USA, “Make your English great again”, that’s the question. Thanks a lot, teacher Ronnie, it has been an original lesson.
I think I made a mistake in… “practice and build…”. Thanks.
Hi
Oh I like this way of teaching ,it is intresting
thanks
Good job!
Thank you for a lesson!
Hi Ronnie. Thank you for the lesson.
I have 5pairs of undies but they disappear for some reason frequently. I don’t have any bra, needless to say, I’m a male.
I haven’t slept like a baby for long time because my body is itchy?
I take a dump every morning after drinking some coffee. My stomach is vulnerable with caffeine but I can’t stop drinking coffee.
Someday I’d like to eat chicken fingers though Japanese cuisine has something like them.
Thank you Ronnie, see you later.
great Ronnie is back
Hello!!!!!
Thanks for the lesson, really helpful.
Great lesson but i can’t agree with Chicken Fingers being a bad name. Cut off your finger,fry it in frying pan and it’s going to look exactly like fried piece of chicken you get in restaurant. In Poland we have also Fish Fingers. Needless to say fishes also don’t have hands. It very intuitive name.
A phrase ,,chicken fingers” does not sound as bad as ,,fish fingers”. This is ridiculous for me :)
You are the best teacher I,ve ever known
Fantastic lesson. Thanks a lot Ronnie!
Ronnie, it is extremely funny test)))thanks
i laughed a lot
dear teacher ronnie I am engvid big fans from Indonesia
can you do or anyone english teacher teach me about the difference between “take for granted”, “take someone from granted” and “take something for granted”
I realy wanna know the answer because I am really courious about the meaning and how to use that expression
thank u so much
When you take someone for granted, you rely on them, but don’t really appreciate them enough. When you take something for granted, you assume it’s true—even if it isn’t.
“I do a lot for my boyfriend, but he never thanks me.” “Sounds like he’s taking you for granted.”
“We took for granted that house prices would always go up. When the housing market crashed, many people realized they weren’t as wealthy as they thought.”

Can any body tell what does it mean ‘to run a shit’!
Great! Thank you!
It’s a pity that I always find a lot of idioms I can’t even understand like “boild down to”, “Catch up” and so on…that together means something else. Does it exist a better way to learn them?
Today I take my first lesson …Thanks Ronnie.
thanks Ronnie, I like your teaching style :)
hello Ronie. I do love your lesson. help me with my accent please. I want to see lesson about ascent how to prof that or speak without ascent. by the way i like my ascent but I literally copy accent of those which I have conversation. my own accent sounds like Russian accents.
how don’t copy accent of another? because any one can guess who are my friends Arabic Indian Brazil African. its strange isn’t?
Thank you so much for lessons, with watching your lessons I prof my english from 8 to 40 % in 1 year. its always glad to hear that from people wooow how do you learn english in 1 year. they still cant believe on that;)
by the way in Russian language there such more idioms which out of head for tourists. like “Za bazar otvechaesh sam”. which litealy mean you will answer of your sell. they use that when they want give a warning like you are crossing red line.
Thanks Ronnie !
Dear Ronnie, I can’t help watching your lessons, I’m talking to you and even successfully copying your accent -:) I feel like I’ve already met you offline.

Hello
In french we say “pratiquer la medecine’or ” pratiquer le sport” that means To do O

you are amazing Ronni
you are amazing Ronni, and your lesson so Bitchin
wow! I got 10 out of 10.
Great class It is amazing!!
That’s just amazing , thank you very much
I find counterintuitive another expression with the word “take”, and it’s “take sugar in” which actually means put sugar in (tea etc.), not take!
As for free gifts, I used to play a browser game where they actually sold gifts three times a year. The players could get valuable game items from those gifts. It really grated with me, “why are they calling this stuff “gifts”, they are for money, wtf”.
Thanks
Ronnie hi, thanks for this lesson, i’ve watch it for six month and enjoy it. You are really polite and funny teacher of these, who shows any videos. I will gald to see your next lesson of videos in next time
Good lesson it really helped me thank you
It was really fun.
perfect 10/10 thank u
You are the best, Ronnie!!!
thank u
An other “off” expression, which doesn’t make sense for me is: “A light bulb goes off in my head.” So it means after thinking about a problem for some time, I’ve got an idea, so I know how to solve it. So there is some light in my head, because a light bulb goes “off”… Instead of “on”. Crazy :))
Thank you! :)
i got 10/10, but i really don’t understand this lession. Especially with ” take a dump”, “sleep like a baby” and “practive”
Thanks your lesson
Thanks
Should be “Take a comment” hahaha
Finally I’ve got the great grade :D
English makes me confused…..
Hello Ronnie
Regards from Poland! Do not send me your pu-pu :)
10 out of 10… That was easy …thank you Ronnie
We say:”sleep like a dead person” in Chinese.I think it is logical.Anyway, the lesson is interesting! Thank you very much.
ronnie i love your class, but when the people say “can I ask something” this phrase is for tobe more polite. es very common en mi country :)
thnks teacher Ronnie
Ronnie, your lesson is great.
OMG that was awesome! Thank you! :)
it was really funny thanks :)
It’s a practising English time. I set my alarm for 5:30 in the morning every day. So I can wake up early and preparing some food for breakfast. Sometimes, kids need to take a dump when finishing breakfast. Needless to say, it spends some time, we must run to the school bus station as quickly as we can.
