First off, I love your accent, Emma, and also welcome to the lesson to your sis. I just wonder if you get confused with the spellings between US & Canadian usage. There are so many shops in NZ to sell black sheep shirts for visitors!

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Emma for the top-notch family terms in English
Thank you, it was very useful
Original and interesting lesson from two accomplice sisters but I’m not sure I can play the same role in my family without disturbing some relatives.
Thank you Audrey and Emma.
In French, we write Audrey and tell me if I made a mistake, please ?
Thank you Emma, fresh and authentic lesson ! It’s the way of remembering a lot of English.
Thanks Emma.
This is one of the exellent classes. You two succeded in getting my attention throughout the lesson, and I did not remember getting bored even in a second. This kind of lesson can be more attarctive and lasting all the time. I hope you make these videos.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry but In fact, black sheep is considered a very racist expression and we should avoid.
Why ? This contradiction (white/black) has nothing to do with the human races and and it’s a very common and nice idiom.
To avoid misunderstandings just add ‘of the family’ like in: “You’re the black sheep of the family”.
thanks Emma and Audra! Reminds me of me and my sister :) It’s great to know some familiar expressions.
Thank you
Thank you very much, Emma and Audra! (Francisco Cesar – Sapiranga, RS, Brazil)

Emma and Audra you are so funny. Thank you.
I’ve always used the expression ‘it runs in the family’ in a derogatory sense, meaning if someone does a bad thing all the members of that family are bad too.

A __________ boy is a boy or man who has an unhealthy relationship with his mom. Specifically, he is too dependent on his mother for everything. Some people use this as an insult.
Here unhealthy should be replaced with healthy. Am I right?
No, because being too close to your mom is not a manly thing. In a normal state you respect each other, trying to please each other, but without being dependent on her, or complaining to her for each struggle you have, and the most important thing is to not to let her decide how’s your life gonna be.
Thank you so much !
Wow! Thank you, I certainly did not know all these great expressions.
Emma, you are the best!
Thanks alot.
