You might have some difficulties as you learn English because of all the idioms and sayings we have that don't always make sense. You learn the English words, but when you translate word for word, the result doesn't make sense.

In this English lesson I'll help you learn some phrases and idioms that are commonly used, but not easy to understand at first glance.

In this English lesson you'll learn idioms, phrases, and sayings like: you can't teach on old dog new tricks, worried sick, to have butterflies in your stomach, hold your horses, to think outside the box, and more!

I hope you enjoyed this English lesson about strange idioms, phrases and sayings that English speakers use regularly.
