Are you ready to take your English skills to the next level? Join me for an interactive Phrasal Verb & Idiom class designed for intermediate and above, ESL students aged 11-18! 

Many idioms and phrasal verbs have meanings that are not immediately obvious from their individual words. Phrases like "call it a day" or "get cold feet", could be misunderstood in context or sound awkward if used incorrectly. Learning idioms helps prevent this kind of miscommunication.

A lot of spoken and written content in English—whether in movies, TV shows, or books—contains idioms and phrasal verbs. 

Using idioms and phrasal verbs appropriately can elevate both writing and speaking. Mastering these expressions helps speakers communicate in a way that feels smooth and natural.

Understanding Idioms: Discover what idioms are, their meanings, and how to use them in conversation. We’ll explore fun and commonly used idioms that will make your speech sound more natural!

Phrasal Verbs Explained: Learn the ins and outs of phrasal verbs—those tricky combinations of verbs and prepositions. We’ll cover their meanings and provide plenty of practice to help you use them confidently.

Real-Life Application: Through engaging activities, discussions, and role-plays, you'll practice using idioms and phrasal verbs in context. You’ll improve your speaking and listening skills while gaining confidence in everyday conversations.

Class Activities:
Interactive games and quizzes
Discussions and role-playing scenarios
