Have an Idiom with Your Breakfast

"English in a Minute" videos on the VOA Learning English website are a fun way to learn American idioms. An idiom is an expression whose meaning is different than the meaning of the individual words. For example, to "get a grip" means to get control of your emotions when you're anxious or upset. It can also mean to understand something. Each video lasts one minute. You will hear an explanation of the idiom, then watch and listen to people use it in everyday conversation.

My Suggestion: Click on the English in a Minute link every morning for a one-minute idiom lesson. The link is below, but I have also put it in the "Favorite Links" list in the right-hand column of this blog to make it easier to find each day.
