First off, I love your accent, Emma, and also welcome to the lesson to your sis. I just wonder if you get confused with the spellings between US & Canadian usage. There are so many shops in NZ to sell black sheep shirts for visitors!

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Emma for the top-notch family terms in English
Thank you, it was very useful
Original and interesting lesson from two accomplice sisters but I’m not sure I can play the same role in my family without disturbing some relatives.
Thank you Audrey and Emma.
In French, we write Audrey and tell me if I made a mistake, please ?
Thank you Emma, fresh and authentic lesson ! It’s the way of remembering a lot of English.
Thanks Emma.
This is one of the exellent classes. You two succeded in getting my attention throughout the lesson, and I did not remember getting bored even in a second. This kind of lesson can be more attarctive and lasting all the time. I hope you make these videos.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry but In fact, black sheep is considered a very racist expression and we should avoid.
Why ? This contradiction (white/black) has nothing to do with the human races and and it’s a very common and nice idiom.
To avoid misunderstandings just add ‘of the family’ like in: “You’re the black sheep of the family”.
thanks Emma and Audra! Reminds me of me and my sister :) It’s great to know some familiar expressions.
Thank you
Thank you very much, Emma and Audra! (Francisco Cesar – Sapiranga, RS, Brazil)

Thanks Emma. I loved this class.

Emma and Audra you are so funny. Thank you.
I’ve always used the expression ‘it runs in the family’ in a derogatory sense, meaning if someone does a bad thing all the members of that family are bad too.
nice class
