Description
Thank you for considering my class, Having Fun With American Idioms! My name is Carole Bersani, and I will be your teacher for this course designed by me, a TOEFL-certified English teacher! Together, we will be able to improve your understanding and use of the American language by learning and practicing idioms!

C2 Proficient/Mastery
This course focuses entirely on idioms. There are similar terms, which have very subtle differences. Here is a brief explanation of some of the similar terms
Phrase = a small group of words that expresses an idea
Expression = an informal phrase related to an expressed action/feeling
Saying = a phrase made from memorable words
Proverb = a well-known, wise saying often from folklore/religion giving advice
Colloquialism = an informal expression used in spoken conversation
Idiom = a saying whose meaning should not be seen as literal
Taking this course on idioms is a smart thing to do because learning idioms can help you sound more like a native English speaker. The idioms are explained in context by a native English speaker. There are many opportunities to practice what you learn, and the course is fun!
Each lesson within the course includes
2-3 video explanations
10+ examples for each theme
Opportunities to quiz yourself on what you learn
Bright images and colors to motivate you
Currently, there are seven themes being presented, but if there is student interest, I will be happy to create more themes!
Weather
Greetings
Home and Family
