225 - Ten English idioms with "easy" and "hard"

from Espresso English Podcast

Today I'll teach you 10 English expressions with the words "easy" and "hard." These individual words have simple definitions, but when they are used in idioms, the expression might have a different meaning than you expect. You'll learn what it means when we say "easy does it" and "hard pass," as well as "he got off easy" and "that's hard to swallow." Take the lesson to find out what these idioms mean! How can you learn idioms like these more effectively? My 300+ English Idioms Course can help you! Each lesson follows this format: First, you'll see an example of the idiom in context and you'll try to guess what it means. Then, you'll learn the correct meaning of each idiom from my explanation and examples. Finally, you can practice using the idioms with quizzes and short answer exercises. The best part is that you can send in your answers to the exercises - I and my assistant teacher will check them to make sure you understand the idioms and are using them correctly.
