Hello Ronnie. Greetings from Colombia, I liked very much this web to increase my skill with English language. Thanks, and by the way to a cheap person in my country we tell him “amarrado”. :D
Take care.
I got 9. Thanks Ronnie!!!
Thank you teacher….!!!
Hi Ronnie,
there is a good adjective that means the same as stingy, tight, close-fisted and cheap : MEAN.
Hello Adrijana,
That’s correct, but only used in British English in the sense of “cheap” (person).
Hi David,
I don´t know, but I looked up the word “stingy” in Macmillian Dictionary (American) and there are synonyms and related Words : frugal, open (= cca open-fited), mean, tight, …
Check “mean” as an entry (adjective). I’m pretty sure that the dictionary will mention that it’s a British term.
Hi Adrijana
ITS British word and it is mean penny pincher
A lot of thanks for the video Ronnie, but, and the subtitles?
I just added them!
my dear RONNIE really i love ur way of teaching even it’s some times a gangy style but so funny :) love u and wish really i could meet u one day in real
Hi Ms.Ronnie,

Oopps! Is my english correct? ?
Hi Ronnie. The correct way to say cow hand is “mão de vaca”
thank you Ronnie! nice lesson
thank you i like it
Great lesson, but I think you can save more money if you walk instead of take a bike or public transportation jajaja.
By the way , if you come some day on vacation to the north of Spain you can save money calling me.
It would a pleasure for me to carry on in my taxi for free.
You will welcome , Ronnie .
KKK… Here (Brazil), we normally use mão de vaca to someone that is a penny pinch or frugal… thank you Ronnie…
Hello everybody. Another expression of people who do not like spending money in Brazil is “Pão Duro”, like “hard Bread” kkkkkkkk
There is another usual expredsson here in Brazil meaning the same thing: “pão-duro”, literally: “hard-bread”.
A really way to save money is to pay with any debet card that has an option “cash back” and the card must be served by your employer. I have that and every month get some money back. Even whether it is 5 rubles. :)
Hello, Ronnie!
I’m a little bit confused about “mean” Ex. he is too mean. Is it the same meaning as he is so cheap??
I’m a penny pincher as well :-)
Thank you!
Thank you Ronnie,

You don’t need money if you live with your mom.
Hello everyone,
I brown bag it each day that’s why I’m in tip-top shape. I feel healthy. I never go out for breakfast or dinner. I always make food at home.
But I’m not penny pincher. I always buy new stuff from shops. I never wait for sales or dicounts.
I can say. It’s something like a my bad habbit. I guess. But I don’t care.:)
Thanks Ronnie for the next great lesson.
Till then. ;)
thanks ronni for this useful lesson
if you get some money don’t forget to shared with me (lol)
