Keywords:
idioms, communication, language learning, interactive methods, fluency, speaking.Abstract
Idiomatic expressions are the key point of effective communication in any
language, especially in English. However, using them can be a bit challenging for
learners as these expressions often cannot be translated with their literal meaning. This
article aims to explore the importance of idioms in everyday language, their role in
enhancing communication and strategies for mastering them with interactive methods.
Using and understanding is not only significant for fluency but also for cultural bridge
and social interaction.
