Quite good dialogue for English learner.
Can any one help me to explain this sentence, “You have blown me away.”?
I can figure out it by myself, but I am not sure.
Is this a common expression in daily life?
i think that konversations are very nice.I understand all konversations. I think that people ,who learn english,that is easy for them.
thanks a lot
