When you read, notice the idioms you see in use, check the meanings in a dictionary and then try to use them. There are thousands of them and far too many to remember by learning. We also have quizzes on them.

Mad-ox, people use idioms in both written and spoken language and I think it would be hard to point to which one had more idioms.
