Great lesson! I got 10/10. Thanks.
Mehrlino, I’m Brazilian too as you can see. Please can you explain to abou the (nose for value and paying through the nose?)
I got 10 of 10 but I couldn’t understand it very well.
Hi, Ronchi.
As I understood it, nose for value means “faro para bons negócios”.
And pay through the nose means “pagar os olhos da cara”.
Again, it would be nice to have a Brazilian teacher around here…
That was I got too, but thanks for your help. Yeah would be awesome hava a Brazilian one!
“Pagar os olhos da cara” is the best translation for “Pay through the nose” expression… gj!
You do magic James; the ease with wich you explained these face expressions was astonishing.
Your good sense of humor is the ingredient that always gives that special flavor to your videos.
Thanks.
Hi!! I think “pay through the nose” when pay more than it´s worth…
a very good lesson. I got 10/10 :-)
Thank you
cool. i’ve a lot on my mind to say to you :D.so precious lesson . thank you :)

Face it or leave it:
‘ Don’t waste your time, always in life. It’s worth, the wait. It’s never too late. ‘
…but… nanananananana, nananananana… don’t get lippy with me. : P
Thanks James
Fantastic!!Thank you James!!☆
I have been making lots of headway on learning English.
Dear, Misakoko. I’m not sure if this form “lots of headway” is okay. I understand that the expression demands a singular form. Don´t take me bad, just trying to help. Best wishes!
I like the sentence you use. Ya! me too having a lots of headway on this tutorials.
yay I got 10 out of 10.Thanks
That’s great! 10/10. Tks James

Nice lesson)))
Thank you))
thank’s
that’s so good but nose for value can’t understand it well :(
Dear, Shaza.
Nose for value, means that you have a good sense for business, you are able to buy things in their fair prices.
if you have a nose for value, it means you know what is good and what is bad, what you should do and what you shouldn’t do :)
wow, I got 10/10.
Many thanks james.
bingo… 10/10
thanks very much
We are making a lot of headway or headways?
I got 8 correct out of 10. Good for me :) Thank you for your interesting lesson, James and Mr. E. Helpful :)
Hey James! I have a vocabulary question: is there any difference between the words “present” and “gift”? is there a special situation that we have to use one or another?
Thanks
Nerilene,
Diferença em significado, nenhum. “Present” veio do Latim, “gift” do inglês antigo.
No uso idiomático vc encontra um ou o outro sendo empregado distintamente em muitos casos.
Por exemplo, “gift-giving” usa “gift” especificamente.
Esses casos aprendemos aos poucos.
Gift pode significar “dom”,”talento para se fazer algo”. Veja:
a) He has a gift for languages. (Ele tem talento para línguas.)
b) She had a gift for music. (Ela tinha um dom para música.)
*Neste caso não se usa “present”.
9/10. Mr.E…..uh…It’s on the tip of my tongue, I forgot what I wanted say.
Thank James for this lesson… I repeat several times
It is informative video. Sir, you always comes with good lecture and learn to us with happiness.
Thank u james I’m making headway step by step with ur great lessons:-)
great thank you , i got 10 out of 10
I guess that i will make headway in learning English on Engvid without having to pay through the nose or listening to lippy teachers , and because i have a nose for value , i am sure about it , many words was on the tip of my tongue to describe how greatness of this site , but let’s face it , i learn new words and improve my English everyday , many thanks for all teachers and site admins :)
10/10 What I have to tell you is, you are ah………??! Well, you as a teacher ah… Well is on the tip of my tongue but now I don’t remember, anyway tomorrow I’ll say to you, my opinion, and you have to face it!
Privet, James! Kak dela? Spasibo za urok! Lubl’u teb’ya brat! You’re the best and I still in love with you. Welcome to Russia!
I have a questions
Is lippy like a persons who lye or a lyier?
lippy is someone who talk a lot which jump from one topic to another topic in short time. :D
Or is only a persons who talk a lot
i think “lippy” is the person who talks too much in a rude way .
very nice lesson.well done James.

Thank you for this wonderful lesson. Your examples were very understandable
I didn’t get it before you said it’s Russian;) and had to rewind.
Short writing using these expressions !!(waiting corrections :) )
Actually, i am in a critical age which i believe that any decision made will shape my future. That’s why i should be aware to do well. So, i have a lot of my mind, many problems to face but iam slightly secure because i have noise for value and when i want something, i pay for the noise to get it.So, iam always making headway.
i guess i fixed it this part ;)
