THROUGH THE WINDOW π§Ήπ€π«€
Here's the logic of the phrase: russian saying for "through the window" is V OKNO, right?ππ·πΊπ·πΊπ So the way americans hear it is FUCK NO. ππ ππ
That's why, when wanting to deny something or disagree, instead of being plain and rude with your swearingπ€¬π€¬π€¬, you may handle it metaphorically instead! π―π
Look here:
Nice film! Would you watch part2? - Nah, through the window.

So, back to the flow-essential habits.πΊ
It's not ONLY about words and the way you've mastered your grammar that REALLY determine your fluency.π
It's much more about your speaking habits. π£

The proofs and real practice will be in tomorrow's (already today's actually) videosβΊοΈπΈπ«Ά

πNO STRINGS ATTACHED - without any conditions or special requirements
π₯₯SMALL-MINDED PEOPLE - ones who do not understand the purpose of dreaming and planning big, cause they don't believe in such things
π₯BE CHEESED-OFF - be annoyed or bored with something
πTROUBLED-WATERS - look, if you fish in troubled waters, you're wasting your time and energy somewhere at a place where you're not gonna get what you want
πTONGUE-TIED - to be tongue-tied means that you can't fully express what you feel because of shyness, lack of confidence, nervousness.

Hi!π«Άπ Let's talk about some changes English is going throughπΊπΈβ¨
In American English the sound [i] in the first syllable is often pronounced [ai]π§
British english is kinda unfamiliar with this, lookπ€©:
D[ai]rection
D[ai]mension
It goes after the rule with "vibration", where this (vi) is already pronounced [ai]π
