Why idioms?
(Idioms include - essential idioms, native expressions, phrasal verbs, common sayings, figures of speech, and colloquialisms)
Idiomatic expressions are COLORFUL groups of words that paint pictures in our minds of a meaning unrelated to the individual words. Because the combination of words will seem peculiar to non-native speakers, it is often quite difficult for them to learn idioms. They decorate the daily conversations of native English speakers in various ways. So if your goal is to conquer English, you must conquer idioms first (before they get you).
Congratulations on moving up in the business world! Now let's show everyone what you've got. As you get settled, let's take a look at some idioms that'll help put your resume on top and be sure to get you noticed in the best way possible.
Idiom Attack has developed these flashcards with your busy schedule in mind. We understand that you have a job, work, kids, or other school work to worry about and we want to make learning something new painless.
