lessons usually we have live facebook or

live YouTube lessons on Tuesday at 9:00

a.m. but this week it’s a little

different because I’m gonna be going on

a trip this afternoon so I won’t have

any internet at the usual lesson time so

I moved this lesson one day earlier and

one hour later so thank you everyone

engi and Fabio and Rica thank you for

joining me at this different time I

appreciate it

so I want to talk about a couple videos

a couple idioms to help you talk about

success the first one is kind of

negative if you are successful at

something you don’t want this to happen

to you hmm

does anyone know can you guess what is

an idiom that is negative if you if

let’s have an example maybe your maybe

your coworker gets a promotion and they

get to be the assistant manager they get

a higher position than before and when

your coworker becomes the assistant

manager they start to act differently

they act like they’re better they act

like oh I’m the important person here oh

I used to be I used to be in your

position but now I’m an assistant

manager hmm we have an idiom for talking

about this negative way to deal with

success so that person was successful

but they didn’t act in a

find way we have one idiom that we use

to describe this let me see if anyone

can guess hmm hmm Oh sassy sassy is

possible they are sassy eh I’m better

that’s a little sassy Oh Patrick says to

look down on someone oh this is another

good expression we could use so we might

say your coworker looks down on you we

could imagine mentally he’s looking down

at you and he’s thinking oh you are not

as important as me I’m bigger and more

important than you I’m looking down on

you

all right that’s a possibility it has

almost the same meaning as the

expression that I’m thinking about my

expression has to do with head head hmm

we could say that your coworker let it

go to his head he let success go to his

head he said I know that I used to work

in your position but obviously I’m more

important now I’m the most important he

let success get to his head so the

expression is let something usually

success let success get to your head let

success get to your head so some people

might say oh Vanessa now that there are

25,000 subscribers to your channel

that’s great but don’t let it get to

your head don’t let it get to his head

yes chu-young you’ve got it nandus

you’ve got it let success get to his

head so usually we use this in a

negative way don’t let success get to

your head so maybe I would never do this

but maybe if I talked with my friend and

I said wow you will never believe what

happened to me

I have 25,000 subscribers on my channel

I’m so important I would never say this

but if I said this my friend would

definitely say to me huh Vanessa don’t

let it get to your head yes it’s great

but don’t act differently you’re still

the same person

don’t act differently so sometimes when

people become a celebrity in Hollywood

they let success get to their head and

they become less polite to other people

so it’s very important don’t let success

get to your head don’t let success get

to your head so I would like to repeat

this expression with you out loud hmm

we’re gonna say it about our ourselves

are you ready

because we can give ourselves advice

that’s really important we’re gonna say

this sentence out loud together to

remind ourselves to stay normal and

human so this sentence let’s say it

together

I won’t this is will not

I won’t let success get to my head let’s

say this all together

I won’t let success get to my head I

won’t let success get to my head I won’t

let success get to my head I will stay

normal because still the same person

it doesn’t matter what happens to you if

you get a promotion

if you become an excellent English

speaker you won’t look at other English

learners and say you’re still learning

English I’m better that’s it’s not

polite it’s rude

you let success get to your head

Oh Lucas says in my job there are a lot

of people that let success get to their

head disgusting

ah I agree this is a really bad

personality trait it’s really annoying

isn’t it

uh-huh sin great thank you for repeating

after me I won’t let success get to my

head

I won’t let success get to my head great

this is important to to think about for

ourselves

because maybe if you learn some great

English expressions and other people

don’t know them or if you get a

promotion and other people didn’t if you

get twenty five thousand subscribers on

YouTube great well you worked hard

probably to learn English you worked

hard to get the promotion I worked hard

to create videos for you but don’t let

it get to your head don’t let it get to

your head stay grounded

stay with your feet on the earth you’re

not an angel we shouldn’t let success

get to your heads o ottoman says this

too I don’t like people who let success

get to their head yes me neither and

Alexandra that’s a good question he says

I don’t know why some people let success

get to their head yeah maybe if I had to

say something I would say maybe they

think that their personal value is

linked with career success or some other

kind of success that for example just

because I’m the same person when I had

one subscriber when I had 25,000

subscribers I’m just

person and I know that my personal value

is the same I don’t think that if I have

a lot of students I become more valuable

this is just my lessons are valuable but

as a person I’m the same the same person

so maybe some people think that their

personal value is linked with their

success it’s difficult for those people

but we need to keep grounded allies

welcome from Germany I’m glad you’re

here I’m glad you’re here

Oh Thank You Ricardo Ricardo says I hope

Vanessa you get a hundred thousand

subscribers and you know what if there

are 100 thousand subscribers that means

that 100 thousand people are learning

English that’s beautiful

that’s wonderful because we will be more

connected the world will be more

understanding because we can communicate

that’s a beautiful thing so it’s great

for me because I’m working hard to

create the material for you but it’s a

wonderful thing for our world because we

can get to know each other better great

Sara says people who let things get to

their head I will try to not be one of

them yes when you are successful Sara

continue to be yourself

yes be yourself that’s important hello

Jen you’re from hello search from

Thailand I’m glad you’re here from

Brazil excellent we’ve got lots of

people joining us from the Dominican

Republic excellent excellent

so let’s talk about a fun happy

expression so when you are successful

when you learn a new expression or when

you get a promotion at your job or when

when your girlfriend says yes I will

marry you that’s success if you have a

successful relationship or for me if I

have 25,000 subscribers I feel like this

is success

wait how do you react in this situation

how do you react when you are successful

when your boss says yes Marcelo you will

get a promotion how do you react maybe

physically you say oh thank you thank

you so much in your mind how do you

react

there is a happy expression that I want

to share with you that we can use to

express our our happiness our excitement

when something good happens oh namja has

a great expression to say a roaring

success this is extreme success Oh

Adriana says I am over the moon oh what

a great idiom if you say I’m over the

moon that I got a promotion

it means I’m really excited I am out of

this earth excited I’m so excited

great so yes over the moon is an

excellent expression Oh

Mourad said I am beside myself with joy

Oh

beside myself no this is a little

confusing because if you think about it

this book this French English dictionary

is beside me physically beside me but in

this expression I am beside myself with

joy hmm

are you actually beside yourself this is

not physically beside yourself if you

say I’m beside myself with worry with

joy with excitement with happiness it

just means I am completely filled with

joy with worry

with happiness so that’s excellent when

I saw that there were 25,000 subscribers

I was over the moon I was beside myself

with joy because it was success that is

excellent expression Oh

Betty says I feel like I’m on top of the

world Oh beautiful oh great eita yes

you’ve got the same expression I love it

so you might say when I learned this new

expression I was on top of the world so

usually when I think about this

expression it’s pretty extreme my pretty

serious if you think about the world you

are on top of the world yes I feel like

I am the most successful person right

now and it doesn’t mean that you let it

get to your head it just means that Wow

you are super excited so we’ve got so

far I’m over the moon I’m beside myself

I’m on on top of the world and I saw

another one here oh yes

that I am on cloud nine oh we’ve got so

many great idioms for happiness I am on

cloud nine now I don’t know the history

of this expression I don’t know why why

is it cloud nine

what’s wrong with cloud eight or cloud

ten but we certainly do say cloud nine

and as you can see a lot of these

expressions have to do with the sky or

being high on top of the world over the

moon on cloud nine these are all

feelings of extreme happiness because of

success something good happened so you

are on top of the world on cloud nine

and you know this feeling maybe doesn’t

last forever but when you feel it it’s

great everyone wants to feel on cloud

nine

sometime in their

life it’s a wonderful thing so I hope

for you that you can feel over the moon

beside yourself with happiness on cloud

nine what was the other one

Oh on top of the world you guys have a

lot of great expressions to share with

us thank you

and there is one expression that I have

seen in the comments here a couple times

that I want to share with you because it

has a little different meaning I have

seen the expression I want to get it off

my chest this means that you have some

problem that’s heavy and you haven’t

told people and you feel like it’s

difficult and you might say to your best

friend hey I need to get something off

my chest

ah I want to talk to you about this

problem in my life

so this is not talking about happiness

or good things that happen this is my

when there’s a problem you want to get

it off your chest because it’s heavy and

difficult to deal with so I hope for you

today we talked about a lot of

expressions wow I couldn’t be happier

I’m overjoyed Wow I love these

expressions you guys are sharing with

each other so let’s let’s review what

we’ve talked about so far first of all

if you are successful don’t let it get

to your head don’t let it get to your

head

also when you’re happy you could say I

am over the moon I am beside myself with

happiness I am on top of the world I am

overjoyed I am on cloud nine this is a

great way to extra express yourself

because you could say I’m so happy it’s

fine I’m so happy but you want to make

your English a little more colorful a

little more expressive and more complex

situation so I want to say to you thank
