Acting For NonActors

Improve your English language skills by using idioms, or figures of speech, in your conversations. This is something that they don't teach in English class, but it's the way people speak. It will improve your conversation skills immensely. For example, the idiom , "It's raining cats and dogs" doesn't mean that it's literally raining cats and dogs. A non-English speaker might have a hard time understanding this because the meaning is not deducible from the individual words. It simply means  it's raining hard, said in a colorful way..
