Use idioms and phrasal verbs to improve your english

Why are phrasal verbs important?

Idioms bring color and humor to a language. For example, why is "a piece of cake" the phrase that means something is easy? Have you ever baked a cake? It's not that easy. It takes a lot of time and is an art. That's why expanding your English knowledge with phrasal verbs also takes time and is a work of art.

Phrasal verbs are as useful as idioms. They are used every day in a wide variety of settings.  Many have multiple meanings and when you first hear them you have to shake your head and think. Take, for example, the phrasal verb "get off." It can mean time to leave work, escape punishment, or mail something. It can also be used to show indignation. That's a lot of power for two little words. That's why it's important to learn phrasal verbs.

Improve your confidence with idioms and phrasal verbs.

Phrasal verbs are heard in different ways and in different contexts. Context is everything, so you will gain insight and understanding of how to use them. Not only that, but it will feel natural to do so. You can't learn all the meanings of every phrasal verb, that would take too long! That would require a series of courses. However, you will learn enough to feel stronger in your English skills and have greater confidence to express yourself in your own way.

You need to practice what you learn in multiple ways. This course definitely does that. It allows you to practice orally, in writing, and by creating your own answers. The more you practice, the better you will become. I hope you will try all the exercises you find. Practice, use the new phrases with your friends, make them guess the meaning of different expressions. Challenge yourself to do some more research on idioms and phrasal verbs. Find out their origin and how they came about or just enjoy them like me. They are fun and useful.

Learning English should be fun. Learning anything should be fun. These idioms and phrasal verbs are fun and useful. Don't learn them or memorize them and never practice them. Please learn them, share them and enjoy them. You will be surprised how much your skills will improve and your confidence will grow. I promise you that the more you try, the better you will feel. Remember to have fun and don't take things too seriously, you're going to do great! Come on, what are you waiting for?
