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 idioms 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. You will know deeply how to use them, which is very important for exams like IELTS and TOEFL. And if you feel uncertain about anything you're learning through 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!

It was my fourth Luke’s course about slang. All explanations were perfect as always. Luke is so good at it! I like his way to speak. I enjoy listening to him. His courses give you a deep understanding of phrases and situations where they can be used.
By Cong Liu on 7/1/2019
Really amazing course, with a lot of resources that we non-native English speakers could not understand at the first place. Thanks to Luke's hardworking, his course is by far the most efficient way to improve my English fluency. I really hope I could know him earlier!
By Jing Zhao on 6/30/2019
This is the best English course I have taken so far. The examples are awesome and help me see how I can naturally use the idioms in real life. Each explanation is also very clear. I like to learn by listening and taking notes along with the teacher.
