Description
Here at LOS Language Online Services we are so enthusiastic about teaching English idioms that we have created our own blend word, based on the one inspired by The Fab Four (The Beatles), to headline our new audio programme; IDIOMANIA. Each week or so, we will record an episode which highlights an everyday concept or setting, and then explore some of the common idioms and proverbs (and antonyms) surrounding that scenario. So don't be frightened to try us out.
