Canadian Idioms & Expressions

Idioms are the difference between understanding the words and understanding the meaning. This course teaches the Canadian idioms newcomers will actually hear. Workplace idioms ('let's circle back', 'park that for now'), social idioms ('break the ice', 'fish out of water'), Canadianisms (loonie, toonie, double-double, give'r), sports metaphors (hockey-heavy), and weather expressions (raining buckets, cold snap, polar vortex).
