31.1 Idioms (ESL)

ESL students can find several resources on the Web to help them with the never-ending supply of new English idioms and slang. Here are two of the most comprehensive sites:

Dave's Internet Café
The ESL Idiom Page by Dennis Oliver contains an alphabetized list of many common idioms. The site also has quizzes, a chat room, and discussion forums.

Peak English is another interactive site with special sections dedicated to slang and business idioms. If you don't know the meaning of a new term, log onto the Forum and ask the Expert.
