Introduction
The steps to launch your English to the next level
What is an idiom?
Call it a day
Cut me some slack
A blessing in disguise
A dime a dozen
Beat around the bush
Better late than never
Bite the bullet
Break a leg
Cut corners
Easy does it
Get out of hand
Get something out of your system
Get your act together
Give someone the benefit of the doubt
Go back to the drawing board
Hang in there
Hit the sack
It’s not rocket science
Let someone off the hook
To make a long story short
Miss the boat
No pain, no gain
On the ball
Pull someone’s leg
Pull yourself together
So far, so good
Speak of the devil
That’s the last straw
The best of both worlds
Time flies when you’re having fun
Bent out of shape
Make matters worse
Under the weather
We’ll cross that bridge when we get there
Wrap your head around something
You can say that again
Your guess is as good as mine
A perfect storm
Barking up the wrong tree
Bite off more than you can chew
Break the ice
By the skin of your teeth
Comparing apples to oranges
Cost an arm and a leg
At the drop of a hat
Get a taste of your own medicine
Give someone the cold shoulder
Have bigger fish to fry
Hit the nail on the head
Let the cat out of the bag
What next?
