1000 images on the tip of my tongue is a great site from France that teaches English idioms through the use of cartoons, audio and games.

 

 

The site focuses on idiomatic expressions that have the same meaning in French, English and Spanish, but cannot be translated word for word. Phrases are classified according to theme and each one is inserted into a short text that illustrates its meaning and contains a digital audio file.

 

The site also includes exercises, games and brief, humorous animations. Take a look at a selection of 30 great little cartoons by clicking on Activities > Cartoons at the top of the page.

 

To find more useful resources on English idioms, simply go to the onestopenglish homepage and type in 'idioms' into the quick search function on the right-hand side of the page.
