Hi. My question is: how can these idioms be leanrt easier? It is very difficult to learn them from the dictionary. Do you have any advice for me?

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.
