Get Back on that Horse


Get back on that horse”  is a common idiom in spoken English.
The idea is that, in life, when something bad happens to you or you experience a setback, you should “keep trying” and “never quit”.
Imagine if you were riding a horse but you fell off and hurt yourself a little bit.  You shouldn’t be a baby and quit riding horses, you need to realize that not everything in life happens the way we want it to, but no matter what, we need to be strong and keep trying even when things aren’t easy.
It’s a good English phrase and a good phrase to think about in general life.  Never give up!

The English Language In 30 Accents

An animated remake/extension of my last accent video that went viral back in late 2010 (sorry for the wait lol).This time I have added some new accents and my friend Chris (aka CmOrigins) has animated each one of them.He has been one of my good friends since secondary school and did a fantastic job with the animations in this video so I would appreciate it if you check out his YouTube channel  Anyway I understand that the accents may not all be perfect some may be quite bad (depending on your own perception of them) but they are just a bit of fun and I did my best with them. I learned most of them over the years randomly from TV, Movies, Videogames and real life experiences. As I always say and have repeatedly said in this video: These accents and (animated scenarios) are not meant to offend anyone and should not be taken seriously. I apologise for the all the accents I have missed out or done a terrible job on.
