Thanks Huy,
Over the years, I find the best way to understand idioms or phrases is to put them into context. One can do that by listening to music, watching TV shows or playing online games. People often forget that languages are extremely flexible and expanding over time. That means there are many ways to interpret phrases in English and their meanings can be different in places or a point in time. If language is highly adaptive, then so should we. Being adaptable means we should not limit ourself in hard-memorize every single vocabulary and grammar structures that we learned from school. I found English is much easier to when I don’t need to seek a direct one-to-one translation from English-Viet and vice versa. Because most of the time, you won’t be able to find a match. As long as you can understand what they’re saying, you are good to go.
Some of idioms listed here are new to me, I’ll try to put them in sentences to provide some context :p
My parents just gave me a green light to go to my friend’s birthday party!
This is a complete baloney, no one would believe that aliens do exist.
You won a 1 million lottery ticket? I smell something fishy here.
After spending 10 years in Canada, English has become second nature to me. As a matter of fact, I find English is easier than Vietnamese now.
I hate to break the news for you, but your wife is pregnant, please don’t lose your temper.
To be continue :p
