@themerrygo No, “to think the world of someone” is a phrase that means to think someone is great, to have a very good opinion of someone.

@durdentyler_1 Thanks. I mean our Japanese teacher thinks she’s great, our Japanese teacher has a very good opinion of her. So does my example sentence get the idea across well?

Yes. It’s a common phrase used in English, so your message is clear. You used it correctly. Good job. 😊

@durdentyler_1 Thank you. Can I swap “the world” for “a lot”/“so much”/“highly”? I wanted to know if all of them would work.
Our Japanese teacher thinks [a lot/so much/highly] of her.

All work, but “the world of” and “highly” work best. 🙂
