Idioms are the most funny/interesting features of learning a language. I appreciate the effort by Mel to teach her selection. To be sincere, though, I did't get any. I thought my English was good, and I love Mel, but I can barely understand what she is saying. tongue Would it be possible to have those 10 words written? I promise to watch the video to understand them and present to you the equivalent idioms in Mexican Spanish. Maybe even make a video to show pronunciation. How about starting a Group outta this? Vidioms, idioms in video... haha

Brilliant accent! BTW, "brilliant" is also a british slang word—we don't really use it the same way. Here it just means "really intelligent," or else when said ironically, "really stupid." It definitely doesn't mean dog's bollocks.

Loved it but as mentioned some of us "wankers" tongue can't quite clearly hear all of the slang. A visual list would be excellent!
