Bienvenue dans le module d'anglais des affaires pour la leçon d'aujourd'hui sur Idiomes anglais related to different parts of the body.
Now you probably already know that when I said “head over to” the website, I meant you should go look at the website. Even if you didn’t know that particular expression, you could probably guess the meaning from my sentence. “Head over to” is a kind of idiom, and English has a lot of idioms, as you’ve probably noticed!
En réalité, there are many common sources of idioms. And one interesting source is the human body. There are a few body parts in particular that have generated a lot of idioms. English has dozens of idioms just with the words “head” and “hands.” But there are idioms using all different parts of the body, and that’s what we’re going to learn about today.
Dans cette leçon, we’ll listen to a conversation between two friends and former colleagues: Maria and Trevor. They’re meeting for coffee and are eager to catch up after not seeing each other for a while. Maria and Trevor talk about their different work situations. Au cours de leur conversation, ils utilisent beaucoup Idiomes anglais related to the human body. Voyez si vous pouvez en repérer certains au fur et à mesure que nous parcourons la boîte de dialogue, et nous les expliquerons plus tard dans le débriefing.
