Say It with Style: 30 Short Stories with Everyday English Idioms (B1-B2)

Welcome to the world of idioms—where English comes alive with colour, humour, and meaning!

This book is for intermediate English learners (B1–B2) who want to understand and use idioms naturally and confidently. Idioms are everywhere—in conversations, books, films, and even in business meetings. But they’re not always easy to understand… or remember.

That’s why this book takes a different approach.

Instead of long vocabulary lists, you'll learn idioms through short, relatable stories. Each story brings real-life situations to life: funny misunderstandings, awkward moments, heartwarming conversations, and unexpected twists. Along the way, you’ll meet characters like Leah, Nora, and Adam—each dealing with everyday adventures where idioms just fit.

After each story, you'll find:

Simple, clear idiom explanations

A gap-fill exercise to test what you’ve learned

An answer key

Thought-provoking discussion questions to spark conversation or writing practice

Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your speaking skills, or just want to sound more like a native speaker—this book is your perfect companion.

Take your time. Read. Laugh. Learn. And most of all—enjoy the language.
