Requirements:

An intermediary grasp of the English language

Encountering phrases that do not make sense is quite common for English learners. You might have come across expressions like:

“He’s driving me nuts!”

“Your guess is as good as mine.”

“I’ve had it up to here with you.”

These are what we call idioms. Idioms are present in every language, but what exactly are they?

An idiom is a phrase or expression that doesn’t make literal sense. Instead, it carries a symbolic meaning that differs from its literal interpretation.

For instance, when someone says, “He’s driving me nuts,” they aren’t talking about someone behind the wheel and a bag of nuts. Instead, they mean, “He’s annoying me.”

Native English speakers naturally absorb idioms as they grow up hearing them. Yet, for non-native English learners, grasping idioms can be incredibly challenging.

This ESL Lessons To Improve Fluency course is designed for non-native English speakers seeking to enhance their comprehension skills. Taught entirely in English by Kieran Ball, a native British English speaker, the course delves into the most practical idioms in the language.

So, let’s dive right in!
