Understand the Idioms Americans Use to Express Feelings, Relationships, and What Matters Most.
You know the English words.
You understand the grammar.
But then someone says,
"I'm over the moon."
"My heart sank."
"Head over heels."
"Let your guard down."
"Bury the hatchet."
The words are familiar.
The meaning isn't.
That's because Americans rarely express emotions, relationships, or personal experiences using literal language.
They rely on idioms that communicate love, trust, disappointment, honesty, forgiveness, and human connection—expressions you'll hear in conversations, movies, television shows, songs, podcasts, and everyday life.
If you don't understand these idioms, you may recognize every word and still miss what someone is truly feeling.
SPEAK LIKE AN AMERICAN: From the Heart helps you understand the authentic idioms Americans use when talking about emotions, relationships, honesty, conflict, and life's most meaningful moments.
As Volume 5 of the Speak Like an American series, this book takes you beyond textbook English and into one of the most personal and expressive parts of everyday communication.
This isn't another alphabetical dictionary of idioms.
It's a practical learning guide that organizes 761 authentic American idioms by real-life themes, helping you understand not only what they mean, but when Americans use them, why they choose them, and how they express emotions naturally.
