What does it mean for something to be "a dime a dozen"? Why on earth would you tell someone to "break a leg" when wishing them good luck?
Idioms and expressions are a part of everyday English, but they aren't always the easiest to figure out. Many of these phrases have meanings that aren't immediately clear, and it can be confusing when they come up in conversations.
Even more confusing is the experience of hearing an idiom or phrase wrong and believing it to be something completely different until you're eventually corrected.
For instance, "a blessing in disguise" can easily become "a blessing in the skies," which is still less ridiculous than some of the very real idioms you'll find within these pages!
Expanding your knowledge of English and the phrases used by native speakers will not only help you speak more confidently, but it will also assist in understanding complicated conversations and stories.
