Episode 66. Nine English idioms to help you sound fluent
Sometimes it’s hard to understand fluent speakers of the English language when they start using idioms in a conversation. That’s not entirely your fault. Idioms (or peribahasa in Malay) are a group of words in a fixed order whose meaning differs from the phrase’s literal meaning. Because idioms are unique to the culture of a particular region, you cannot simply take a wild guess of their meaning without listening to sentence examples.
That’s why my guest on our podcast today, AIia Zul, an educational technologist who designs content for online classes for young learners, is going to help us break down nine idioms (a manageable number!) that are useful for use in meetings and conversations.
