I'm going to talk about some tiny things.

but I'm also going to teach you a few English phrases,

please click that red subscribe button below

and give me a thumbs up if this video helps you learn

One of the first small things I wanted to talk about,

You can see here that this dot is rather large

And this reminded me of an English phrase,

It means that they've done a job thoroughly

So this is the salt shaker from my kitchen.

And you can see there's little holes in the top

then some salt will come out onto my hand.

But there's three phrases I wanted to talk about

when they were alive as being the salt of the earth.

and they were honest in all their dealings with people.

is the phrase to rub salt in someone's wounds.

If you have something bad happen to you in life,

and then your friend keeps talking about the car accident

we would say that he is rubbing salt in your wounds

because the car accident was already a bad thing.

But now your friend keeps talking about it.

you don't really believe them right away,

we would say that you are taking what they say

In English when you take something with a grain of salt,

it means you don't believe it right away,

but you take a little bit of time to think about it

to make sure that it is true information.

And, it actually has a maple leaf on one side

we don't actually use pennies in Canada anymore.
