Hey! One of the criteria to score a 7.0 or higher in the IELTS speaking test is being able to show good use of "idiomatic language". But, what is idiomatic language, and when should you introduce it into your vocabulary. Join Nick and I today to discuss

  1. the path that most English language learners take when they are learning lexis
  2. when idioms should be introduced
  3. the problems second-language learners face when using idioms
  4. which idioms we fee could be useful for IELTS test-takers

And finally, we introduce you to another type of idiomatic language that could be more useful in your exam than pure idioms.
