Description
So, you've been studying English for years. You've reached a good level of communication, but you sometimes struggle to understand native speakers, and you still don't sound natural when you speak. What can you do to reach the next level of fluency?

One way to improve your proficiency is to focus on idioms - phrases and expressions that all native speakers use but that are difficult for non-native speakers to understand.

But are they really that common? The quick answer is yes! According to research led by Howard R. Pollio of the University of Tennessee, native speakers use on average 4 idioms per minute when speaking. So, clearly, focusing on developing a mastery of English idioms will help you not only understand native speakers more easily, but also sound more natural and interesting when you speak.

Sure, there are many lists of idioms available online. But they don't prioritize the most common, useful, or frequently used idioms, and they don't provide enough example sentences to truly help you master these idioms.

In contrast, this course focuses only on essential idioms that can be used in a variety of day-to-day situations. A series of fun, informative, and detailed video lectures provide clear explanations, numerous example sentences, and a list of common phrases and structures using each idiom.
