Like many languages, English incorporates color into many of its most common idioms. How many of them do you know? In this class, you can test your knowledge. We’ll also talk about the meaning of color and what our own favorite colors are.
Description
Why do they say someone went green with envy, and do bulls really get angry when they see red? In this brief, relaxing class suitable for high intermediate (B2) students, we'll explore some common English-language idioms that mention color. If we've got any time left over, I'd love to hear about how color is utilized in your culture. And, of course, at the end of the class, I'll ask you what your favorite color is, and why.
