This week, English learners are being reminded that understanding and using idioms is a major stepping stone from textbook English to sounding truly natural—with scores and confidence to match! 🗝️ According to a new article from The Times of India, simply knowing vocabulary and grammar isn’t enough. To elevate your fluency, you need to grasp idiomatic expressions that don’t make literal sense—like “hit the sack” or “spill the beans”—because they’re everywhere in real conversation and writing 📖🗣️. The piece suggests practical strategies: learn idioms contextually, practice using them in sentences, and group them by theme (e.g. food, emotion, travel) to help retention. With idioms rich in color and nuance, they not only improve test scores but also make your communication more authentic and engaging. Maybe try adding a weekly “idiom of the day” to your study routine! By weaving idioms into your speaking and writing, you’ll boost both your exam results and your ability to connect in everyday English. 🌟✅
