The analysis and explanation of each idiom is superb.

I notice the idioms used by other people and applying them feels more natural now. I'm really 'dialed in' to the language.
Software Engineer, 3COM

I think the business idioms I learned in this program are very useful. I have started using them in communication at work. All of a sudden, people are amazed how I speak like a native American English speaker.

This program made me notice things I didn't realize before. I never noticed the idioms in speech, but now I am able to catch them when they are used by someone else. This feels really great.
