Course Description
When watching an American movie, have you ever said this to yourself?
"I understand every word, but I have no idea what he is talking about!"
If this is you, this course was made for you.
We will be learning the most common American English expressions, idioms, and slang phrases native English speakers use in daily conversations—the things you can't learn in books. The best way to learn is by example, and that is the foundation of this course. In each lesson, we will talk about one English phrase or expression. I will carefully explain the meaning, background, and usage(s), then share real-life examples from conversations between native English speakers.
You won't just learn English idioms in this course, you will master them, and understand how to use them in your daily life, which is important for exams like IELTS and TOEFL. Also, if you feel uncertain about anything you're learning throughout the course, I will answer any questions you have. In each lesson, use the examples given as a foundation for your own examples. Learning English should not be input only. Output is even more important. So, dedicate time to practicing on your own so that you can master each expression as a habit and use it without thinking.
Are you ready to take your English mastery to the next level? Let the journey begin!

TOO MUCH TIME ON 1 EXPRESSION
By JeanBruno dos Santos Silva on 8/30/2024
I think I've made a really good choice. I liked very much the way this teacher talks and explains. I'm very excited to go to the next lessons.
By Jennifer Ouellet on 6/1/2024
Very well explained. I'm really having fun watching your videos. :) What is the most advanced course I can try? This one, I've really enjoyed, by the way.
By Emre Aslanger on 9/16/2022
Good course ! Divided into chewable chunks and presented in a joyful, accessible manner. I also recommend the others in the series. I guess this is the most basic of them or I just coincidentally happen to know much more of this one compared to the others. P.S.: Another course on phrasal verbs would be great ;)
By Ali Alfayli on 8/5/2022
This course is an eye-opener. Now, I can understand native speakers better than I used to. There are over 60 expressions represented in this course, and I started hearing them in movies, TV shows, Ted Talks, documentaries, podcasts, and radio. In addition, I started seeing some of the expressions used in books too. Thank you for this course Luke! I really enjoyed learning those expressions; I actually enjoyed every bit of it.
By Kamer Kızılçaoğlu on 10/9/2020
just... Amazing! So far so good! I am an English Language Teaching student and this course even helps my education! Expressions are fantastic and there are not just some expressions, there are also something that you don't know in the videos and he really explains all stuff! Nice job!
By Kelly Duan on 9/15/2020
Very easy to follow, the example is vivid and the explanation on scenario and background is pretty helpful.
By Vithal R Patil on 3/15/2020
The course structure, presentation, explanation, examples and useful tips is awesome. Makes us more confident to express ourselves more naturally. I have subscribed to all of his other courses as well. I highly recommend all non-native English speakers to enroll this course and also all other courses by Luke Priddy.
By Belen Moreno on 12/28/2019
