  • Welcome to the English we speak with.

  • Me Rob and me Ja Ing.

  • Here's an idiom to use when you want to say you admire someone because they've done something impressive.

  • It's hats off.

  • Hats off.

  • But we don't physically take our hat off to someone.

  • It's metaphorical, isn't it?

  • It is.

  • Although the origin of the expression is from when a person would raise their hat to show respect to someone.

  • But don't worry, Jiang, if you're not wearing a hat, you can still say it.

  • Good.

  • So hats off to you, Rob, for telling us about this phrase.

  • Thanks.

  • And hats off to you, Jiang.

  • I hear you won a cake making competition.

  • Impressive.

  • It's not easy to make good cakes.

  • I can't even bake.

  • Thanks.

  • I might let you try some later.
