What are idioms?

Idioms are phrases or expressions that typically have a figurative, non-literal meaning. You could understand each individual word but the overall meaning is not clear.

Some idioms are regional, meaning that it might be heard primarily in one country only.

Idioms are everywhere!

Idioms are used in everyday life and in the workplace.

Whether talking to your friends and neighbours, in meetings at work, talking to customers and colleagues, as well as management, idioms are going to come up. You will even see idioms in professional emails.

That sounds confusing!

Idioms are used every day by native speakers and can be a huge cause of confusion for learners. Everyone else knows what they mean and your confidence drops as you have trouble following the conversation.

It doesn't have to be this way!

This course will help you to understand idioms and increase your confidence around native speakers.

Even if you're a native speaker, there will be idioms here that are new to you, depending on where you live.

Whether English language learner or native speaker, this course will help you to improve your vocabulary.

Idioms are interesting

Idioms make language interesting by injecting extra vocabulary into the language.

As a language learner, can you see the same idiom in your native language vocabulary? Or is there a similar expression that has a similar meaning? Or maybe there is no equivalent idiom at all. It is interesting to think about how these similarities and differences happen. Let's begin learning more by enrolling now.

Instructor Details

Derek Smith

I'm a native Brit and a qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher with Business English specialisation. 

For the last 15 years, I've been teaching English courses in Germany. 

In addition to teaching general and Business English to adults at all levels, I've also been teaching exam preparation classes for BEC Higher (C1) and BEC Vantage (B2). My students pass the exam.

This has the disadvantage of being geographically limiting. I'm really excited to be able to offer these courses online now and help many more people improve their English language skills and help them to pass these important exams.

Other subjects that I enjoy are music and technology.

I love how this course focused on both learning and practical usage of idioms. Before, I was hesitant to use idioms because I wasn’t confident I was doing it correctly. Now, I can use them seamlessly, thanks to the clear explanations and examples provided by a true language teacher.

Learning More than Just Words I've taken a lot of English classes, but this one is special because it teaches idioms and slang that native speakers use. Learning these phrases helped me expand my basic vocabulary and made my speaking sound more natural.

By Dejan Lukić on 11/3/2024

Important for TOEFL and TOEIC Prep Getting ready for the TOEFL and TOEIC tests can be a lot to handle, but this course made an important part of it easier. It explained not just idioms but also showed how they are used in everyday talks and serious situations.

By Bahaa Ahmed on 7/7/2022

Wow, I've learned a lot in just on lesson❤️ But i think there is too much idioms all explained in one lesson Sometime that's could be a bit boring.

By Joel dos Santos Bahia on 12/16/2021

A really nice course, I could learn a lot of new proverbs and see some that is the same in Brazil. I just would like more tests between classes to be more interactive.
