We use English idioms every day. And we use them in big ways and small ways, for fun and for serious meanings. For example, we can say that we’re up to our ears in work,  meaning we’re very busy and it’s hard to find time to do anything else.  Let’s explore and play with some different English idioms for easy!

Commonly Used English Idioms For Easy

✔ Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-idioms-for-easy/

A  few words of explanation about the way we approach learning idioms.  Idioms in English can be very confusing for language learners. There are  a lot of English idioms, most of which you would never  hear or use in an English conversation in 2021. To make learning English  idioms as efficient as we can, we focus on the most common and useful  English idioms that originate from everyday speech. So you won’t find a  list of 500 idioms for ‘easy’ in this podcast. You will find the most  popular ones you are most likely to need to understand and use.

The hardest portion of English, I must say it: Idioms.

It's been a while since I did a podcast on idioms. What exactly is an idiom? An idiom is a phrase that has a  different meaning from the actual words used. For example "a piece of  cake", as opposed to saying that something was "easy" or that it "went  down like a lead balloon" meaning nobody liked the suggestion. If you  learn idioms in school, you probably learn boring ones that nobody uses.  We’re trying to help you by learning useful idioms that real people  actually use.

If you want to talk like a native English speaker, then there is no way to avoid learning English idioms. As I prepared this podcast, it surprised me to see how many English idioms we use for easy, without even thinking about them. So I suggest you listen to this podcast for some new English idioms examples you can use in your everyday English conversations.
