Idioms & Expressions — Speak Like a Native

English is dense with expressions that no textbook quite captures. This course moves beyond standard vocabulary to the phrases, idioms and cultural references that native speakers use instinctively; and that mark the difference between sounding competent and sounding genuinely fluent.

60 idioms organised into six themed modules, each with video lessons, example sentences, register guidance and a practice exercise. Practical, precise and genuinely enjoyable to work through.
