I was talking to a British colleague of mine about Adept English recently and mentioned that one of our English lessons will be on English idioms. They said nobody uses idioms that much anymore, and I laughed because the music on the radio at that very moment was Stormzy, a popular English rapper, was literally rapping a song about an English idiom at that very moment. The British use idioms all the time!

So today’s English lesson will cover three English idioms. As usual, we only ever teach useful everyday English, so you can be sure you are learning something useful that you will hear or read in the UK today.

Remember, this lesson is not just about the topic of conversation, although the topic and discussion are interesting and worth learning. Listening to this English lesson you will hear a lot of common English vocabulary, you will hear frequently used English phrases and you will practise your English listening, which is critical to improving the speed of your English understanding, this will lead to improved English speaking and ultimately English fluency.

As always, we ask that you repeatedly listen to the audio. Spaced repetition is the ideal way to to maximise the value of the lesson repeatedly listening to the audio until you can follow every part without needing to look up words and you can hear and understand each word and sentence.
