      Simple English: Idioms

      Free Idioms MP3 Pack

      Introduction

      The steps to launch your English to the next level

      What is an idiom?

      Call it a day

      Cut me some slack

      A blessing in disguise

      A dime a dozen

      Beat around the bush

      Better late than never

      Bite the bullet

      Break a leg

      Cut corners

      Easy does it

      Get out of hand

      Get something out of your system

      Get your act together

      Give someone the benefit of the doubt

      Go back to the drawing board

      Hang in there

      Hit the sack

      It’s not rocket science

      Let someone off the hook

      To make a long story short

      Miss the boat

      No pain, no gain

      On the ball

      Pull someone’s leg

      Pull yourself together

      So far, so good

      Speak of the devil

      That’s the last straw

      The best of both worlds

      Time flies when you’re having fun

      Bent out of shape

      Make matters worse

      Under the weather

      We’ll cross that bridge when we get there

      Wrap your head around something

      You can say that again

      Your guess is as good as mine

      A perfect storm

      Barking up the wrong tree

      Bite off more than you can chew

      Break the ice

      By the skin of your teeth

      Comparing apples to oranges

      Cost an arm and a leg

      At the drop of a hat

      Get a taste of your own medicine

      Give someone the cold shoulder

      Have bigger fish to fry

      Hit the nail on the head

      Let the cat out of the bag

      What next?
