In this episode, we’re focusing on an interesting and fun part of vocabulary - idioms.
I’m sure you’ve heard of idioms. Ya know: kicked the bucket. It’s raining cats and dogs. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A picture paints a thousand words. These are all examples of ‘proverb’ idioms. But guess what? They’re NOT the type of idioms we’re going to talk about today.
Today we’re going to talk about “idiomatic phrases”.
