Have a good summer

Hello everybody,

A month ago I promised that would post something here before I go on summer holiday. So, here it is!

Here's an interesting video about 'Food Idioms'. It's quite easy to understand. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Food Idioms


The following video is about 'Brexit' (Britain's exit from the EU). There will be a EU referendum (EU kansanäänestys) in the UK on June, 23th. This video teaches us some vocabulary of 'Brexit'.
