/idiomy.doc      The English language is rich in idioms, and their knowledge is a great advantage of a learner in his reading, and even more so when he takes part in discussions or debates.

Idioms are fixed expressions with meanings that are usually not clear or obvious. It is difficult to use idioms accurately and appropriately in a foreign language.  Before you can use them you need to be able to recognise and understand them. Sometimes they are humorous or ironic.
