Welcome back to another episode of the A to Z English podcast.
This is a bonus episode.
We call them Jack Chats.
This is a chance for me to talk with you and read your, your emails and also read chats from our WhatsApp group that you can find on our website.
If you want to join the WhatsApp group, go to a to zenglishpodcast.com and click the link to our WhatsApp group and you can join the World English group and you can join the A to Z English podcast group.
And those are very active groups where students can talk to each other and we can communicate from all different parts of the globe, all around the world.
So it's a very, it's an exciting chat group to be a part of and everyone is invited, so feel free to join.
Today I'm actually going to go into the WhatsApp group chats and read some of the comments in there and make some comments myself regarding those chats.
And I've done a lot of listener emails and I've done a couple of articles and just some thoughts episodes in the past week or so, but today is dedicated solely to our WhatsApp group and WhatsApp chats.
So I'm going to start with Shima.
Shaima is from Egypt, I believe, and she is giving some examples from our idioms episode.
And so she writes, last week there was a misunderstanding between me and my friend, so I preferred to nip it in the bud.
Therefore I visited her and explained the situation clearly.
I thought this would solve the problem, but I was barking up the wrong tree.
She couldn't understand me correctly.
Great.
This is nicely written.
Very nicely written.
And I would say the nip it in the bud part idiom is perfectly correct here.
If you have a disagreement with a friend, if you nip it in the bud, that means that you deal with the situation quickly and move past your disagreement.
