Idioms are phrases or expressions that cannot be translated word-by-word. They are very important in English but they are are one of the hardest challenges for English language learners.
Why do you need to learn Idioms?
Learning Idioms will help you speak English more like a native English speaker
One study found that on average English speakers use about 4 idioms every minute!!
The same study also found that there are about 3 idioms used per minute in TV shows.
So, as you can see they are very important!
You also need to know a lot of IDIOMS for the IELTS, TOEFL and other official exams.
There are thousands of idioms in English, but, in this course I want to teach you some of the most common idioms or idiomatic expressions that native speakers use very, very frequently.
How the course is taught?
Research shows that people remember information better when they hear it in a story. Therefore, I have written 8 fun and interesting stories which contain all the idioms in this course.
There are 8 stories. Story 8 has 2 parts - so in total 9 videos of Stories.
Each story recording contains Idioms relating to a category.
There are 9 categories of IDIOMS;
Intro section
- Idioms with a reference to Colour
- Idioms with a reference to Animals
- Idioms with a reference to Cloths
- Idioms with a reference to Food
- Idioms with a reference to Health
- Idioms with a reference to Money
- Idioms with a reference to Time
- Idioms with a reference to Travel + Transport
- Idioms with a reference to Body parts
- Each section begins with a story. The story is animated with pictures to make it fun.
- After the story, I introduce each Idiom with a picture to help you visualise it.
- Then I analyse the the idioms and explain what they mean.
- I also give 2 more examples to show you how they are used in Real Life English.
- At the end of each section there is a small test where you need to match the idioms to their definitions.
- There are 3 Progress Tests to help you practise. These include 3 quizzes and Audio Sentence Completion Exercises
One of the BEST THINGS ABOUT THIS COURSE is that you can download all the Stories and Audio Sentence Completion Exercises to listen to on your smartphone when you are having a coffee or travelling. This will help you learn the IDIOMS much easier.
I hope to see you in this course.
Happy Learning!!
Steve

First of all, this is not my first course on Udemy. I had better courses on Udemy. Indeed, despite the benefit gained by knowing new idioms, I do not recommend to pay for this course because you can obtain lots of free and away much useful idiomatic English materials supported with videos, listening and exercises from the internet. Unfortunately, it is too little to pay for, therefore, I wish I had not paid for it. I enjoyed the stories and the new idioms; however, the retyping of every sentence and reading them slowly were not useful. This method is not probably an effective way of delivering the learning material. For the previously mentioned reasons, I would appreciate if you can compensate me in either way, a simple refund will be awesome for me. It is recommended to add more idioms and phrasal verbs to this course, or may be you might need to combine two of your courses together..It is also recommended to compensate all who purchased this course by making an upgrade; may by sending them PDF materials, audible materials, special application access, etc. In short, this course has nothing innovative or new to give and above all, it does not worth this amount of money as far as you may pay the same amount or less on Udemy and you are expected to get more benefit.

A brilliant course, because you learn English idioms in context, and after that you have some tests to reinforce these new expressions.
