first of all let's go through the names
for some of the parts of the body to
check your pronunciation I'll read out
the singular and then the plural version
I'd like you to repeat after me here we
go
head heads face faces neck necks chin
Chin's shoulder shoulders arm arms elbow
elbows stomach stomachs hand hands
finger fingers thumb thumbs Phi Phi's
that's a tricky one make sure that th is
with the tongue between the teeth the
same for thumb thighs knee oh we have a
silent letter so the K here is silent
knee plural knees leg legs foot plural
is feet completely changes foot singular
feet plural toe toes hmm okay lots of
these body parts are commonly used in
idioms now using idioms will help you to
sound more like a true native so it she
feet if you have itchy feet you are
restless not just a pretty face this is
a compliment used to tell somebody that
they are clever or useful as well as
pretty pain
the neck if something is a pain in the
neck then it's annoying or it's a pain
in the neck some people also say bum or
butt or to take something on the chin
this means to accept a difficult
situation without making a lot of fuss
take it on the chin to pull somebody's
leg if you pull someone's leg then you
are leading them to believe something
which is untrue as a joke
so you're saying something that's false
as a joke I'm just pulling your leg to
give someone a hand is to help them with
something hey can you give me a hand if
you step on someone's toes you offend
them by trying to take control of
something that they are responsible for
so if you are responsible for booking a
day trip and I go ahead and book the bus
and then just tell you I've done it
you'd be offended because well that was
your job not mine
back off Anna head and shoulders above
the rest if you are head and shoulders
above the rest it means that you are
much better at something than those
around you so at school if you're very
good at maths much better than everybody
else then you could say in maths he is
head and shoulders above the rest of the
students elbow grease this is an idiom
used to describe hard work so if you are
not afraid to put in a bit of elbow
grease it means you're hard working in
to imagine someone scrubbing the floor
really really hard to twist someone's
arm is to convince them to do something
and lastly you might say you have
butterflies in your stomach if you're
very excited about something or maybe a
bit nervous oh I've got butterflies
it's that churning feeling that that's
fluttering that you feel in your tummy
oh let's put those idioms into a
conversation and see if
you can follow what's going on hello hi
Anna how are you oh I'm great thanks
sire
finish touring about a week ago and I've
already got itchy feet well I might have
a solution you're not just a pretty face
are you so I've been putting together a
charity concert and Edie Sheeran had
agreed to play but something has come up
and so he's no longer able to do it oh
that's a pain in the neck
yeah it's frustrating but I have to take
it on the chin and just find a solution
so how is thinking I could just cancel
the whole concert and you could just
give me all the money from your tour
instead oh I'm just pulling your leg but
seriously could you give me a hand and
play at the concert oh I love to but I
don't want to step on Ed's toes not at
all he actually encouraged me to call
you he says that you are head and
shoulders above the rest and that you're
not afraid to put in a bit of elbow
grease oh well you twisted my arm yeah
I'd love to play I've already got
butterflies in my stomach just thinking
about it could you follow that
conversation it was full of idioms if
you forgot a few of the meanings then
just head back to this timestamp in the
video to watch the meanings once again
and then watch the conversation to see
if it makes a bit more sense if you did
find it easy then your challenge for
today is to write me a comment down in
the comment section using one or more of
the idioms from today's video thank you
very much for watching please do
remember to give this video a big thumb
up stay subscribed and I'll see you in
the next lesson how about this one
