Paint By Idioms

Idioms are special words or phrases that have their own meaning. For example, if I say “It’s a piece of cake,” I mean it’s very easy. The meaning doesn’t really have anything to do with cake. There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use idioms, your English will be much more colorful and interesting. At this site, you can learn lots of new idioms. Just choose a theme (easy or hard) and what kind of exercise you want to try. Finally, choose a character that you can paint if you choose the right answers.
