a very useful thing that I have found in learning idioms is to try to include them in your daily language. For example, I didn't know what "out of the blue" ment, but now I know and use it. It is said that you need to be involved 12 times with a certain term to actually learn it!

I don't know if it's exactly 12 times

but it's really good advice though.
I agree with you. I think the best way to learn an expression is actually to use it as quickly as possible after learning/hearing it.
