Idiom Sites

I think I sent this to students in January, but just in case I didn't or someone wants the reference again-


For help in English as we actually speak it, some American idiom sites-


1. From English People's Daily-

http://www.englishdaily626.com/idioms.php#Tongue-in-Cheek

also has Chinese folk tales in English and American slang words



2. Site with links to lots of other slang sites-

http://www.slangcity.com/



3. Site that is easy to use-

http://www.manythings.org/slang/



4. Another good site, especially for business terms-

http://www.eslmania.com/students/idioms/Business_idioms.htm



5. 600 idioms, but not in any order-
