In Western societies, idioms are like the secret handshake of everyday conversation. They're ingrained in native speakers from the get-go, making it seem like everyone's speaking in code. But fear not, dear English as a second language student – we're here to demystify these tricky expressions. We'll teach you the most commonly used idioms that you'll hear in everyday chatter. (And we're not just saying this – one of us here grew up in the heart of Canada!)
Here's the secret sauce to mastering a new language: practice, practice, practice. So, don't just sit there – join us as we go through each slide and say these idioms out loud. It's not only going to help you remember them better, but it'll also make them stick like glue.

Good and easy to catch up.
I was able to learn various useful expressions in about 30 minutes of lecture time ! I especially liked how the lectures were clear and easy to understand.
Very nice course. The teacher has a very pleasant voice, he speaks clearly and rather slowly, so you can understand very well what he says, and have time to think. It lasts only 30 minutes, but you then have to learn 35 idioms and they use, and it is not so simple.
