'How do idioms help me get to advanced level?'

Advanced level needs serious vocabulary! Yes, (of course!) grammar is important, but deliberately learning high-level vocabulary will transform your English.

One very important part of advanced vocabulary is idioms.

Idioms are expressions that don't make sense, even if you know all the words. For example, expressions like 'once in a blue moon' or 'steal someone's thunder'.

Native English speakers use this kind of expression all the time and they will make your English more sophisticated, natural and precise.

What our students say:

Dear Seonaid, thanks a lot! Most of all I liked your utter friendliness, clearness, and the very system of memorizing collocations perfectly organised by you.

- Olga

Good selection, although I already knew many English idioms, there were not too many in the course I was familiar with.

- Antje

This topic is really important in order to not have a stiff conversation, and be more natural. I could use many of them in conversations with native speakers.

- Dalane

'How can idioms improve my listening?'

Students often ask me how to improve their listening and I think there are two answers.

First, you need to listen enough so that you can hear each word, instead of one long noise. This is just practice!

Second, you need to know enough vocabulary - espcially natural, everyday vocabulary, which native speakers use daily in real life, like idioms.

We help you learn carefully-chosen, everyday idioms properly so that you can understand much more of what you hear.
