Idioms are difficult for learners because their meanings are not literal interpretations of their words. Unfortunately for learners, idioms are extremely common in English. To help teaching idioms more efficient and fun, we have created four useful lists from the 10,000+ idioms in our library:

• 50 common English idioms (for kids or learners)
• 50 funny English idioms (for advanced students)
• 50 clever English idioms (for advanced students)
• 50 sarcastic English idioms (for advanced students)
