(to be) on thin ice. Make it "skating on thin ice" for a deliberate act. That is a nice idiom.
Absolutely 💯, l am a fan of watching and listening to your attractive presentation. Teacher Wes thank you so much ❤️!
Thank you so much . I will teach the new ones to my students . They love learning them and above all to use them in their daily conversation . Greetings from Miami , Florida.

Hi Wes, you've done an amazing job in this video as usual, and the PDF is awesome as well, but it's a pity that the file is too heavy. I suppose it's heavy because you want it to look more attractive, but it would be nice if it were lighter, even though it may not look as nice. I hope you find a solution for the next PDFs. Thanks a lot, Wes!

i found this video about idioms to be one of the most useful i've ever seen
Glad to hear that! Thanks for your comment. 😊
Wow! That "mum's the word" has blown my mind. As far as I knew it meant kind of: mum has spoken (who has the last word) and nothing else to argue or to be said. Spot. Silence from now on. Thanks fort those priceless videos where you let us guess the idiom and the meaning. It definetly helps them to stick to our brains 😅❤❤ Regards from Spain
Glad you learned something new. Thanks for sharing. 😊

How nice!
Most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍
Actually there's only one idiom that is totally new to me and it's "hindsight is 20/20". Honestly, previously i only knew "in hindsight". so i'm really delighted to know this related expression. Also now i know it comes from a scenario where the optometrist says "you have 20/20 vision". it's always fun to get to know a bit of American culture while learning English. And for other idioms, i kind of review them a bit, which is great! I'm quite engaged in this lesson and you're legit~🤟
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍

"hindsight is 20/20" or better "everything is clearer in hindsight" or "in hindsight, everything is clearer". Referring to 20/20 is silly. You need to emphasise BETTER, not a STANDARD.
to bite a bullet
Thanks for participating in the lesson. Keep up the good work. 👍
"been through thick and thin" is a bad answer. "been through hell and back" is more correct. "Thick and thin" is for weddings. Lift your game.
