One of the more difficult things about working with native English speakers is their use of expressions, or idioms. What’s a “dog and pony show”? What does it mean to “leave someone in the lurch” or to “take a beating”? Unfortunately, you can’t stop English speakers from using these idioms, so you need to understand them yourself!
