Welcome to our English idiom blog!
I’m Emma, the creator and writer behind all the content you find here.
My Story
As a non-native English speaker who spent several years living in the United States, I experienced firsthand the challenges of understanding and using English idioms in everyday conversations.
While my formal English education was solid, I often found myself confused when native speakers used colorful expressions that didn’t make literal sense.
I remember the first time someone told me they’d “help me in a heartbeat” – I was momentarily puzzled before realizing they simply meant they’d help me immediately!
These small but significant language barriers inspired me to create this resource.
