Now let's continue learning inside my 300+ Idioms Course!

The lessons in the idioms course are more than just lists... instead, they help you learn the expressions more actively:

  • First you'll see examples of idioms in sentences, and you'll try to guess what they mean from the context.
  • Then, you can watch a video where I teach the idioms' meanings.
  • Next, try a quiz to see how well you remember the idiomatic expressions.
  • Finally, there are short-answer questions to help you practice using these common idioms yourself – and you can get feedback and correction.
