I’m starting to post random clips from videos where native speakers use colloquial expressions that non-native speakers often translate word for word. By watching these videos, you’ll not only learn new expressions but also hear how they’re pronounced. Most importantly, you’ll gain insight into connected speech.

All the clips will be under the same tag. Watch this video and give this exercise a go: find the expressions that match these definitions.
