About this episode

Do you know what it means to:

  • drop someone a line
  • get your wires crossed
  • or beat around the bush?

These are all examples of idioms that we're going to learn today!

Idioms and informal expressions like these are used frequently in movies, TV shows, and casual conversations. But a lot of English textbooks don't teach you these expressions! So you might be confused when you hear them in real life.

That's why I created the 300+ English Idioms Course - to teach you the most common idiomatic expressions!

After you learn the idioms, there are quizzes and writing exercises to help you review and practice the expressions.
