Idioms… Do you know what an idiom is?
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idiom), an idiom is…
- an expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but that has a separate meaning of its own
- a form of a language that is spoken in a particular area and that uses some of its own words, grammar, and pronunciations
- a style or form of expression that is characteristic of a particular person, type of art, etc.
Keeping in mind the first definition, studying idioms is not – let’s say – a piece of cake! 😉 That’s why I thought the following links could be fun and interesting for you all. Let’s enjoy it and … please… don’t die laughing! 😉
