Idioms

This will be a short post of a mostly informative nature. Since I began teaching them, I have had a large number of people question me; what is an idiom? So for your convenience, I will list the 8 idioms Will and I have successfully managed to teach to a group of our students, to see if you recognise them. 
  • Butterflies in my stomach
  • Don't bite off more than you can chew
  • Break the ice
  • Your eyes are bigger than your stomach
  • Arm and a leg
  • Earn a living
  • Cut to the chase
  • Go with the flow

The funniest thing is, they actually use them now.  Success.
