00:04	, does learning vocabulary drive you up the wall ?
00:08	Does it annoy you or frustrate you ? If it
00:12	does , you're not alone . People have asked me
00:15	whether or not they should learn idioms . My answer
00:19	is yes , but see it's not that simple in
00:24	my lesson on literary devices . I gave the advice
00:28	that idioms can be limited in use according to culture
00:32	, dialect , age and other factors . First and
00:37	foremost , you need to build familiarity with idioms so
00:40	that you understand them when you hear them and read
00:43	them . Like my use of drive you up the
00:47	wall . Were you able to guess the meaning in
00:51	time ? You'll learn to associate an idiom with certain
00:54	situations like learning lots of words or lots of grammar
00:59	can drive you up the wall . You can also
01:02	develop a sense of who uses an idiom ? Which
01:07	generation maybe which professions or which industries knowing when it's
01:13	appropriate to use an idiom will give you the confidence
01:16	to use it . Here are some tips . One
01:21	when you learn an idiom , note where you first
01:24	heard it . What was the situation ? Who was
01:27	the speaker ? And who was the listener ? To
01:33	try to guess the meaning from context . But you
01:36	can confirm your understanding with an online dictionary . Yeah
01:42	. three . Use a resource . Like you ghoulish
01:45	to hear more examples . Real uses of the idiom
01:49	in context four . Remember that idioms are like seasoning
01:57	. They're not the main dish . So don't pile
01:59	idioms onto your plate or the plate of your listeners
02:03	. You can use idioms to spice up your speech
02:06	but too many can ruin a conversation . Do you
02:09	understand my analogy ? Yeah . Right now I'd like
02:14	to share five idioms related to the mouth . Funny
02:18	. Huh ? Let's see if you can understand each
02:21	one . Before I explain the meaning one . It's
02:27	never a good idea to bad mouth your boss or
02:30	your colleagues . That kind of talk will almost always
02:33	get you in trouble . What does it mean to

04:20	does it mean to shoot your mouth off ? Be
04:32	to shoot your mouth off , means to talk freely
