Critical Analysis of Metaphorical Meanings, Symbols, and Communication in Everyday Idioms
Request Lesson

Description

One of the key tools speakers or writers have is the imagination of the listening and reader.  This is why we use metaphors; they paint pictures; they elicit emotions; they help us to communicate in a way that is illustrative and natural.

This course takes everyday metaphors and examines them, such as:

"One bird in the hand is better than two in the bush"

Question: What does the bird in the hand represent?

Question: What do the birds in the bush represent?

Question: What does the bush represent?

Question: Relate "missed opportunities" to this metaphor?

Question: Relate :wealth protection" to this metaphor?

Question: Why is it ok for some to risk and for others to not?

Come and explore English in a fun and energetic way that helps you to learn the nuances and subtleties of the language while moving you along an authentic speaking and writing path that you will forever remember as a lifetool and not just a course.
