5 Common Idioms In British English

Join my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish.com
Learn 5 common idioms I frequently hear used in Britain in this British expressions and pronunciation lesson. Idioms will help you sound more confident and fluent when you speak English, so write these down, and use the British accent tips I give you to make them sound perfect!
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

    I absolutely adore that "Running dogs and cats":))) Well, living in Ireland , I hear this lovely idiom quite often from mature Irish Gentlemen, and have hearing these words, every time I begin looking around - where ARE all those dogs and cats running away of the heavy rain?😂Thanks for the lovely lesson, Alian😊
