Oxford Idioms

Oxford Idioms: Dictionary for Learners of English is a specialised language reference volume published by Oxford. It focuses entirely on helping readers grasp the colourful and often puzzling figurative phrases that make up everyday English.

Designed primarily for students, teachers, and general learners looking to build fluency and comprehension, this dictionary makes deciphering complex expressions clear and straightforward. It serves as a handy desk companion for secondary school pupils, higher education students, and anyone polishing their spoken and written English skills for examinations, professional work, or everyday communication.
