Idioms

Time: 24:31
Idiomatic expressions or 'idioms' are phrases or expressions used in everyday speech that don't have literal meanings e.g. 'letting the cat out of the bag' or 'getting the ball rolling'. In this episode Erika and Elizabeth explore several examples of idioms that are commonly used in English, discussing how they can be difficult for a learner but explaining how they can also be useful to be familiar with.
 
They also speak to Jesús, a client of Elizabeth's, about the difference between Spanish and English use of idioms. Elizabeth tests Jesús's knowledge of certain idioms, invoking a popular jazz song to explain the phrase 'hitting the road'.

Description

Everyday English with Erika & Elizabeth is the podcast series that explores how native English speakers use the language in everyday settings.
Whether in work or social settings, everyday English can be challenging for non-native English speakers. The English language is full of colloquial terms, phrasal verbs and idiomatic expressions. It is important for professionals who are interacting with native speakers to understand such terms. Although everyday English is not as formal as professional or academic English, it is commonly used in the workplace.
In this series, Erika McClane and Elizabeth Mc Donnell of Professional English Solutions explore some of the challenges that learners of English have, and they offer pointers on understanding everyday English.
