Idioms are expressions that are used every day but don't mean what the
words seem to indicate. No spring chicken, for example, has nothing to
do with chickens. Rather, it means not being young anymore. Teacher
Josh: English Idioms explains what 300 of the most widely used English
idioms mean in an easy-to-learn, memorable way. The entry for each idiom
features a cartoon that depicts how it is used, plus an example and
explanation in English and Mandarin. Readers can also scan a QR code to
