hell of a

Let’s have a listen to the final extract. Here’s James at the top of the tree. He
says it’s a hell of a view from up there. Can you explain this Kate?

Well, saying it’s a hell of a view is an informal way of saying that the view is
incredible. The phrase ‘hell of a’ emphasises any quality you’re talking about,
whether it’s good or bad. And here it’s pretty obvious that James thinks the
view is amazing.
