So many things come into play, be they culturally generated or locally significant, very hard to teach with text books and only really acquired through conversation and exposure to everyday language usage. 1

When I was learning English , for one year , I believe the last before taking the Cambridge First Certificate ( official language knowing paper in Greece ) , we had a book full of English idioms ... I learned a lot for sure but when you don’t use , you forget when the right moment to use is .. that was one of the best “ taking the bull by the horns “ 😂🤣 1
