English color expressions to talk about situations & emotions
Learn English expressions that use colors like red, blue, pink, green, and white to talk about the way people feel or about situations people are in. These expressions are common and they also make your speech or writing more exciting and varied. I’ll teach you expressions such astickled pink, white as a sheet, green with envy, brown noser, and more. Do you know what the difference between red in the face and blue in the face is? I’ll teach you, as well as review all the new vocabulary and expressions with practice sentences and lots of examples.

Thanks, James.
Thank you James for this great lesson. First, I didn’t understand the second question. I answered pink but now I understand he was frustrated not to be able to satisfy all the people asking questions. On the other hand I suppose it is not possible to say: “to be pink in the face”. Good weekend. I am looking forward to watching your new videos. Marie-Claude
Thanks for this lesson.

Hi, James (and Mister E :D)! I wanna say that I’m so lucky because I found so good person to EXPLAIN me what I KNOW. You don’t just teach us all those grammar rules. You make us understand everything that we already know! I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I hope I’ll pass my exam, and I would not understand English without your (and Mister E’s, ‘course :D) help! :D

All of our videos are on YouTube, so if you are in China, you’ll have to use a VPN or mirror site to see them.
This is pretty dangerous advice, because VPN is illegal in China. It can only be legally used with proper allowance.
VPNs legal/illegal by country:
https://thebestvpn.com/are-vpns-legal-banned-countries/
Additionally China is preparing to national wide ban of VPNs in February 2018. VPN can be temporally solutions, which is costly and probably can’t be afforded by students.
Why are engvid.com videos not accessible in China and some other countries? Because some government control what web sites are allowed to be seen by citizen and which are not. Engvid.com does not have huge amount o money, so they host there videos on youtube.com free video share service. Youtube.com is using encryption, you see internet address starts with https (notice “s”, s if for secure = encrypted). Because content of youtube.com videos are encrypted it is not possible government to know what kind of content you are watching. Engvid videos are harmless, but there are some content on youtube.com that Chinese government does not want people to watch. Because youtube.com is using encryption government can’t know which video is harmless like engvid.com videos and which one are inappropriate by government opinion. China government just decided to ban whole youtube.com and actually several other web sites.
Engvid.com could establish its own video hosting server just to serve China visitors and direct all of others users on the world to youtube.com, but:
a) this may be expensive to maintain,
b) it may not return the investment if China visitors is small group out of all of the visitors of engvid.com
Yes, this is an accurate description of the problem. I will add that we don’t use YouTube just because it’s free—we use it because our teachers make money off YouTube ads. New viewers can also discover our videos through YouTube search results and suggestions, which wouldn’t be possible with our own server.
Another alternative for Chinese users is mirror sites—web sites that copy content posted on YouTube, without permission from YouTube or the video creators. We don’t want to encourage this either, for the same reason we don’t tell people how to download videos directly: it’s breaking YouTube’s rules and the teachers won’t make any money from videos that people watch this way.
It may also be possible to post our videos to a Chinese social media platform like WeChat. We would have to figure out how monetizing the videos would work, and whether it would be worth the extra work of uploading videos to a new platform. (Also, I don’t think any of us [the people who run the site] speak Chinese.) Anyway, I’ll look into it.
I was not aware of the upcoming nationwide VPN ban, and will take this into account when replying to Chinese users—thank you for telling me.
Thanks jade just mind blowing way of teaching
I got 10 out of 10 quiz score
Thank you James for some very interesting expressions – Marie was caught red handed when she tried to steal a piece of cake from the tray or Jone was brown nosing his boss to get selected for the Ministry tour to outer islands.

This lesson is nice and i was tickled pink :)

Good one James. thank you so much!
Most of these expressions were known to me, “brown noser” caught me of guard, I’ve never heard that before, but I think it will be very useful :) Brown nosers everywhere, at school, at work and even inside the circle of my family. I suppose I have to adapt this “brown nosing” technique in my daily life. I’ll try, but now I’m completely green at it. Tkanks. Nice lesson :)
You got 7 correct out of 8.
thanks a lot .
