Manage episode 391880105 series 3485395
This week I interview a wonderful student who jumped from Intermediate level to excel at Upper Intermediate 2. She has had a wonderful career as a civil servant in Latvia and speaks three languages.
Idioms:
1. Rain on someone’s parade
Meaning: To spoil a moment.
Example: He told his wife that he doesn’t want to rain on her parade, but they had to shift their vacation dates.
2. Take a rain check
Meaning: Postpone a plan.
Example: He asked me whether I would like to have dinner with his family, but I had a thing so I said, rain check.
3. Take it with a grain of salt
Meaning: Don’t take it too seriously.
Example: She tells great tales but we take whatever she says with a grain of salt.
