Obraz
You can't call yourself an advanced English speaker if you don't know at least basic idioms and proverbs. On my blog I plan to write about both but if you are impatient always fresh portion of idioms you may find here:  IDIOMS .  Let's talk about proverbs then! What are they?   Proverbs are short, well-known and repeated statements that give practical advice about life. They are often metaphorical.
