Hi Julia I'm not sure if you have a question here or if you are just sharing information. Best Regards.
Nice examples, Julia! I enjoy the variety of phrases and idioms you have collected.
A great way to continue collecting more expressions and idioms is to watch English videos/shows and listen to podcasts. I would recommend collecting both the expressions and some notes about the context in which they were used. This context can help to guide you toward more natural use.
As well, it’s always good to get an expert opinion. I would suggest bringing these expressions to a Preply tutor who can help you judge when it is most appropriate to use different expressions like these. Also, I know of some great vocab collections in the Preply resource library that can be used to continue developing and expanding your natural language use.
Just search for a Preply tutor who shares your interests, and I’m sure your development will skyrocket!
