Idioms are fun, expressive—and utterly confusing for learners. But they’re also one of the most culturally rich and rewarding aspects of language. In this episode, we unpack the big questions: When should we introduce idioms in the learning process? And how can we teach them in a way that’s effective, engaging, and culturally sensitive?

Whether you’re a language teacher, a student trying to “wrap your head around” idioms, or just curious about how idiomatic expressions shape communication, this episode is your go-to guide. Discover practical classroom strategies, memorable teaching techniques, and critical insights into the cultural layers of idioms.

Let’s turn those confusing phrases into bridges of understanding—one idiom at a time.
