One of favorite English proverb is *"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"* (which means beauty is relative to each person and if you don't find yourself beautiful, someone else does) and *"Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house"*
The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" really applies to you miss lucy. you are so kind and a brilliant teacher. may you achieve success in your work :)
Hi I'm from Morocco this is the best channel to learn and improve english thanks lucy for your efforts
I enjoyed this Lucy!!!!!!! Another favourite of mine is: "Rome wasn't built in a day." I remember this to remind myself anything worthwhile takes time to accomplish and to also neither rush nor hurry the results. Lots of love and kisses!!!❤❤💋💋
I loved those! Some of them are even met in my language in a slightly different version. However, my favourite proverb that encourages determination goes: the master has failed more time than the pupil has even tried
Lovely, useful, simple, clear and with real emotions. Thanks again, Lucy!
I liked this background a lot, along with the "softness" in the visual effect :)
I love you Lucy
I hope you'll visit Rome someday; it's a quite chaotic city but incredibly wonderful.

Hi Lucy. Great video! I've just discovered your videos on youtube. I love the fresh style of your teaching videos and the branding/ image you are building. Speaking as a fellow English teacher with my own youtube channel as well, you've built up an insane amount of subscribers in such a short period of time. It's incredibly impressive! RESPECT! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Dear Lucy, thank you for all these interesting lessons, which I love very much. They are helping me to not forget my English now that I am in my own country (Italy) after living 10 years in London. You see...when there's will , there's a way! Keep up with the good work! HAPPY NEW YEAR! xxx

Thank you for saying the proverbs in English. Of theses five proverbs what I think best is "the grass is always greener" because it gives us the exactly idea of how people usually think about the particular situation of others, giving only importance to the positive side and abstracting the bad circumstances.
Lucy~ I appreciate you so much. I like your sound and your positive attitude towards challenges!
Thank you my ethereal teacher

" Sucess has many Fathers but Failure is an Orphan" Is my Favroite proverb .
In America we use a great many proverbs, such as "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" and similarly, "Beggars can't be choosers" both of which basically mean People who are given something can't be selective. A few other commonly used ones are: "All's well that ends well" - As long as the outcome is good, the difficulty getting there was worth it. "When it rains, it pours" - When something happens, it usually happens with great intensity and frequency. (Usually uttered after a negative series of events i.e. lost your keys causing you to be late then left your phone at home or the battery dies and then a tire pops on the way to work) "Actions speak louder than words" - Prove what you say by your actions. "Better late than never" - Better to do something late than to not do it at all. "Better safe than sorry" - Better to do something carefully and cautiously than to suffer the consequences later. "Curiosity killed the cat" - People who are too inquisitive and meddlesome can get themselves into trouble. "Every dog has its day" - Every person will have their moment of glory.
Rogue Angelxx Thank you. We use these proverbs in England too 😊

Hi Lucy! I'm a brazilian fan of your channel. I'd like to thank you because you're helping me a lot with your lessons. I'm following the tips to improve my skills in English and I guess it's working! Congratulations, you are doing a brilliant job. By the way, don't you have interest in studying Portuguese since you speak Spanish? Both are very similar languages.

Hello Lucy, I love your video so much. Just a little feedback, would you do more vlog? Because I believe by introducing what UK is all about could increase the motivation for viewers to learn more English in a fun way.

Beautiful explain
thank u so much .........i liked your subtitles
In Italy we have all of these as well! Some of them (like the 4th, the 1st and the 2nd) are the exact translation of the ones we use here in Italy. We have a proverb which is "volere è potere", which litterally means "if you want you can", which is like the 5th you said, and then we have "paese che vai, usanze che trovi" which is similar to the 3rd one ("if you're in Rome, do as Romans do"). Litterally it means "when you go to a country, you find its customs". But obviously there are a bunch of other proverbs used in Italy! We seriously have a lot
Ich danke dich für dien Lektion und Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag
I am trying finding a word which is written paper in any book, but no one word is found will express your teaching quality.. {So Beautiful}

Hi Lucy. Always love your videos! Here are the Chinese proverbs which have similar meanings as the English you mentioned in this video. 1. 这山望着那山高（The mountain is always higher). 2. 不要以貌取人. 3. 入乡随俗. 4. 百炼成钢. 5. 车到山前必有路 and/or 船到桥头自然直. Hope you like them. :D
Mesmerizing as always
Greetings, I'd like to say to you how much you has helped me, thank's a lot that the lord bless you.

Hey Lucy and thank you for this video. I'm from Moscow and like study and watch by your videos. Probably you'll find interesting how to tell and pronounce this proverbs in Russian. I try translate its for you: 1. "Хорошо там, где нас нет" (khorosho tum g'de nus net). Is good there is no us. 2. "Встречают по одежке, провожают по уму" (vstrechuyt po odejke - provojayut po umu). Meet by look, see off by mind(intellect) 3. "В чужой монастырь со своим уставом не ходят." (V chujoy monustyr' so svoim ustuvom ne khodyat). Don't go to another church with you own rules. Also we have some another several proverbs on this. 4. "Дело мастера боится" (delo mustera boitsya). A business scary of a master. Or more popular but less of same: "Терпение и труд все перетрут" (terpenie i trud vse peretrud). A Patience and a labor may grind anything. 5. "Было бы желание, а возможность найдётся." (Bilo by jelanie a vojmojnost' naudetsya." May a wish (there, with you, him, etc..), and a possibility will be find." I hope it was interesting for you and thank you for the video again! Greetings from Russia!
I've heard that many Russian proverbs have some pretty interesting imagery. Is this true?
Agree with you!) This happened thanks by mix of different cultures, nations of Russian Empire/USSR/Russian Federation by the long time. You may read some most popular russian proverbs on Wiki: en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Russian_proverbs. There you may find just translation and english equivalent of Russian proverbs so you may check out by yourself the Russian imagery in proverbs.))
Ivan Gromov oh awesome thank you very much Ivan! :)
