The English language is packed with idiomatic expressions — those quirky phrases that often don't make sense if you take them literally. But once you learn how to use them, they can bring a whole new level of color, personality, and depth to your conversations! In this episode, we explore the magic of idioms and share the common mistakes learners and even natives make so you can avoid them! Tune in and take your English to the next level!

By the end of this episode, you will learn:

  • Idioms that Gloria from Modern Family mispronounced and misunderstood.
  • What's the correct variant of this idiom: I could care less or I couldn't care less.
  • Some great idioms that come from sport
