Episode 145 ENGLISH IDIOMS PART 1 | BALL...

BRENT
About this episode

This is the first of a few podcasts that will be released where I explain some common and no so common English idioms.


This is the second in a series of seven English idioms I am explaining during this week of idioms. I tried to pick one that is very common, but also one that many non-native English speakers might not have heard before.  I also explain some other English idioms like "All the way" and "Turn it up to 10."  And no, it's not those kind of balls. In the English lesson, I explain we are talking about the ball at the top of a pilots stick shift. I also explain what a stick shift is.
