Location: Skype
Skill/ Topic: Idioms and Casual English Language

Today we covered more idioms. We discussed him memorizing the idioms as the best possible study method. Idioms have unexpected meanings and can be very difficult for a non-native speaker to understand. We also covered formal and informal casual English such as the proper titles to address bosses and professors with.

Idioms we practiced:

  • (To) Hit the books 
  • (To) Hit the sack 
  • (To be) Up in the air 
  • (To) Stab someone in the back 
  • (To) lose your touch 
  • (To) Sit tight 
  • (To) Pitch in 
  • (To) Go cold turkey 
  • (To) Face the music 
  • (To be) On the ball 
  • Rule of thumb
