Teaching idioms
Hi,are there any good books or sites that students could access to study Idioms thanks 

What resources can I use for teaching idioms?
Mork,
You could try “English Idioms in Use” published by Cambridge University Press.
Or: http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/idioms.htm
I’ll just add that it’s important to teach and practise idioms in context. I think care needs to be taken when teaching idioms. Foreigners can sound stilted or old-fashioned if they don’t know the connotation of idioms and can use them in unsuitable ways in formal situations.

Hello
I am the author of an app called “English Idioms Illustrated” which explains the origins and meanings of over 250 english idioms, in a comic strip format. The first 30 idioms are free, so it is quite a useful resource for teachers and students. It has one million downloads, 2,000 reviews 4.5 star average.
