Gurugram, HR, India – June 28, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Idioms are formulaic expressions, usually phrases, that have a figurative meaning that is not the same as the literal meaning of the words. All languages have idioms, and it’s essential to become familiar with the most common ones in order to communicate fluently with native speakers. With more than 25,000 idioms in its lexicon, English poses a challenge to learners who want to be proficient in both vocabulary and cultural competency. To address this need, Idioms.In is providing a huge collection of idiomatic expressions along with simple explanations and examples to help students around the world.

Said one company spokesperson, “Idioms are essential linguistic elements that students must acquire, but they are difficult to learn. Often the meaning is embedded in historical or cultural references that are not clear to a non-native speaker. That means that in order to learn an idiom, students also need to research the origin of the term to understand how the figurative meaning is derived. And that’s how we are helping: all of our idiom listings include a succinct description of the expression’s origin, an example to show how it can be used in a conversation, and of course, a simple definition. Whether students are preparing for exams or developing language skills for the workplace, we can help them become more fluent and culturally aware English speakers.”

According to the spokesperson, the site is constantly being updated with new content. On the website’s home page, users see an idiom of the day, the latest idioms added, various browsing menus, and of course, a search bar. Students who search for “every cloud has a silver lining meaning,” for example, will find four brief definitions, five examples in context, a short history of the expression, and a suggestion for further research. Another entry, “cool as a cucumber,” also includes a list of synonyms such as “composed,””unflappable,” and “calm.” The website also has a special section devoted to idioms for children. This section contains expressions that are used most frequently by younger speakers and are intended for practical, real-life use.

The interactive site invites comments from users as well as submissions of idioms and slang. Said the spokesperson, “We encourage our readers to share their own knowledge with each other in order to deepen their own learning and expand the resource. Of course, we approve all submissions before they are published, but when we do add a user’s idiom to our site, we include his or her name and details. In this way, we hope to make Idioms.In a community of learners who help and support each other in acquiring idiomatic language.”
