Description

When watching an American movie, have you ever said this to yourself?

"I understand every word, but I have no idea what he is talking about!"

If this is you, this course was made for you.

We will be learning the most common American English idioms native English speakers use in daily conversations—the things you can't learn in books.

The best way to learn is by example, and that is the foundation of this course. In each lesson, we will talk about one English phrase or expression. I will carefully explain the meaning, background, and usage(s), then share real-life examples from conversations between native English speakers.

You won't just learn English idioms in this course, you will master them. You will know deeply how to use them, which is very important for exams like IELTS and TOEFL. And if you feel uncertain about anything you're learning through the course, I will answer any questions you have.

Are you ready to take your English mastery to the next level? Let the journey begin!

Who this course is for:

  • Anybody who wants to speak English clearly and confidently
  • English learners who want to understand English at a native level
  • This course is not for native English speakers

The curriculum, presentation, detailed explanation with connecting examples and the study methods/tips is so absorbing and makes our understanding and usage of Common American English Idioms very clear. In fact, I've subscribed to all the courses and each one of them is quite unique and special. I highly recommend all the courses to non-native English learners.

Hi. My name is Luke.

I'm the founder of Cloud English. I've been teaching English for years, and over that time I've discovered powerful language learning methods that make learning English much easier and more effective. My courses have helped thousands of people become more fluent in English.

My courses will help you: 

- Become more confident in English conversations

- Master English vocabulary, phrases, and expressions

- Take your English pronunciation and fluency to the next level

- Improve your English listening skills

- Think in English when you're speaking English

- Sound natural saying exactly what you mean

Here, you can find courses on business English, American English slang, American English pronunciation, common English idioms (useful for IELTS and TOEFL), and more!

I use a split screen presentation style for my courses. You will be able to see both my face and a digital blackboard. It's a great way to learn!
