Hi, guys!
Welcome back to the British Council's LearnEnglish Teens website and YouTube channel.
I don't know which platform you're watching this on.
But today's video is going to be some of the most common British idioms.
When you learn a new language and begin to speak with native people, you might realize that they use these unusual or strange expressions, which don't make sense literally but somehow still make sense!
So, I wanted to share some of the most popular British idioms, so that if you're speaking with a British person and one of these pops up, you won't be completely confused.
Also, learning idioms and using them correctly is a great way to make yourself seem more confident and natural when speaking a second language.
So, if you can use some of these and keep them 'up your sleeve', then that will do wonders when you're speaking English with a native person, a native speaker or a mother tongue.
So, without further ado, let's get started!
Probably the first-ever idiom that I ever heard in my whole life has been 'a penny for your thoughts' and I remember hearing this when I was at primary school and not understanding what it meant.
