“Putting idioms into your everyday conversation.

Make up as many sentences as you can using a certain idiom.
Write down the idiom and its context as soon as possible after you hear it said.

If you do these things, the idioms will be popping out as you speak!
AND, you will notice that people say them all the time. You just didn't notice before!

Keep up the great work !

 

Nicely done, I found some idioms that I didn't know

It's a motherload of good advice on English idiomatic usage

 

As an aside, I just want to pouint out that idiom #20 is less common. The more common expression is "To each his own"
