Idiom Visual Dictionary
Solving challenges in idiom comprehension
English idioms rarely make literal sense. "Break the ice" has nothing to do with actual ice, and "under the weather" doesn't involve meteorology. Text definitions explain what these phrases mean, but they don't help learners understand why the phrases exist or remember them later. Non-native speakers struggle most because their native languages use completely different metaphors.
