Idioms for the helpless






Idioms for the helpless- Colours  

During  any exams we take we want to show our true colours; everybody tells you to use colourful language to  express things  in a more interesting and vivid way. Easier said than done… Remember:
-          Use the phrases you know and understand perfectly well- it is pointless
and artificial to overuse idioms
 
-          To remember the meaning of an idiom try to find its closest equivalent in Polish- it might be a funny and eye-opening exercise

-          Try to personalize every idiom you are trying to learn- make sentences about yourself, your friends- give the phrase a chance to live some real life!
