About

Hi, my name is Emma, and I'm going to teach you English! Learning a different language can be hard, but it can also be a fun and rewarding experience. I am TESOL-certified and have taught students from various backgrounds, ages, and levels. From immigrants to international students, private lessons to classrooms, my experiences have been varied and have allowed me to gain insight into the challenges that ESL students face. Teaching is one of those great professions that allow you to be forever learning. While I teach students both French and English, they teach me about their cultures, their lives, and other ways to see the world. It is a privilege to teach and I am thankful for all of my students over the years who have shared their stories, interests, and dreams with me.

There are many fun, easy expressions in English to wish someone luck or to encourage someone. In this lesson, I will teach you some common expressions for this, as well as some expressions you can use to respond. I will go over “break a leg!”, “knock ’em dead”, “fingers crossed”, “you got this”, “best of luck”, “wish me luck”, “blow someone away”, “how did it go?”, and “nailed it”. https://www.engvid.com/polite-positive-english-good-luck/ Learn more English expressions you can use in conversations: Stop saying I'M SORRY: More ways to apologize in English https://youtu.be/qJiWCzULfco "THANKS": 5 common expressions (that don't all mean the same thing) https://youtu.be/Io6-K5RrjvU In this lesson: 00:00 Better ways to wish good luck and to respond 01:20 Break a leg! 02:04 You got this! 02:52 Knock 'em dead! 04:33 Fingers crossed. 06:40 You'll blow them away. 07:36 Best of luck. 08:38 Wish me luck! 09:48 How did it go? 10:52 Nailed it! 11:07 Killed it! 11:35 It went well!
