Idioms for everyday use.

Idioms are sayings that reflect accumulated human experiences and are built on frequently occurring situations, that demonstrate human behavior, social traits, certain habits or tradition in a country.They almost represent life lessons and are a heritage of those accumulated events that make up the conscious of a nation or humankind in general.
Every country or nation has got their own idioms that are specific to their own culture, while many idioms have synonyms in several countries,what refers to the equal shared human nature in many cultures. Learning the specific idioms related to a certain culture helps you learn more about the history, customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of it.



One of the keys to speaking like a native is the ability to use and understand casual expressions, or idioms. American English is full of idioms. You won’t learn these expressions in a standard textbook. But you will hear them all the time in everyday conversations. You’ll also meet them in books, newspapers, magazines, TV shows, and on the Internet. Idioms add color to the language. Master idioms and your speech will be less awkward, less foreign. You’ll also understand more of what you read and hear. In this blog you will find different articles in where kids can learn and use idioms by themes, the idea is that as soon that they learn more vocabulary they can do practices and read paragraphs applying the idioms that kids are learning.
Some of the themes are going to be:
