Education Idiom

Friday, April 16, 2010


Well, today I want to share something useful for all of us who want to learn English. I am going to share about 'IDIOM'. Sometimes, we got a problem when someone speak with us use the idiom, don't we? Moreover, when we watch the movie, the movie stars also often use the idioms to express their feeling. 

As we know that 'Idiom' is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made. Moreover, an idiom is an expression, word, or phrase whose sense means something different from what the words literally imply. When a speaker uses an idiom, the listener might mistake its actual meaning, if he or she has not heard this figure of speech before.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom)

So, how poor we are when we don't know or misunderstand with someone who speak with the use of idioms 

Now, it's the time to learn it.......!!!!! be happy guys..........
