In this video, I'm gonna walk you through 100 most common idioms that native speakers actually use in daily life.

They use them in shows, at work, everywhere.

And some of them you've probably heard, others might be totally new.
5
Either way, they'll help you sound more fluent and more natural.
6
So let's dive in.

8
Let's kick off with something you might say in awkward situations.

31

49
How do I actually use them?
50
I've got something cool for you.
51
I built the app called Idiom Chat.
52
In the app, you're texting with different characters, your friend, your boss, your crush, and your job is to pick the right idiom to reply.
53
Every choice teaches you how real people actually speak.
54
If you get it right, the chat continues.
55
If you miss it, you learn the meaning and get another example on the spot.
56
But here's the cool part.
57
I did not hire a developer or touch any code.
58
I built the whole thing using Lovable.
59
AI that builds apps and websites just from a prompt.
60
I literally typed I want an app where people text with characters and practice idioms.
61
And after a few tweaks, I made the entire thing.
62
And this isn't just for learning.
63
If you're looking for a side hustle in 2025, this could be a goldmine.
64
Businesses pay thousands for custom apps and websites and with Lovable, you can build those for your clients without knowing how to code.
65
You can build one for yourself, you can build one for your students, you can create landing pages, personal planners, habit trackers, even branded tools for your own business.
66
And the platform lets you fully customize layout, copy and images with a real-time preview.
67
It's fast, beginner-friendly and surprisingly powerful.
68
You can go from idea to life prototype in minutes.
69
And the best part?
70
You can start for free.
71
You get 5 credits a day to test ideas, build something small and see where it takes you.
72
Here's my tip.
73

Once you realize how fast it is, you'll start seeing more opportunities around you.

ไวยากรณ์ในวิดีโอนี้
โครงสร้างที่ผู้พูดใช้บ่อยที่สุด พร้อมคำพูดจริงจากวิดีโอ:
| โครงสร้าง | ในวิดีโอ |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — การกระทำที่เริ่มก่อนหน้านี้และยังดำเนินอยู่ | I've been grinding · you've been avoiding |
| Present perfect have/has + กริยาช่อง 3 — เหตุการณ์ในอดีตที่ยังเกี่ยวข้องกับปัจจุบัน | you've probably heard · I've sent · We've done |

การออกเสียงที่ควรระวัง
ผู้พูดใช้รูปย่อและรูปลดเสียง 119 ครั้ง เช่น you're, I'm, don't ให้พูดแบบสั้นตามที่ได้ยิน
- เสียง “th”: thumb /ˈθʌm/, tooth /tuθ/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- เสียง “sh” และ “zh”: frustration /fɹʌsˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, disruption /dɪsˈɹʌpʃən/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/
- คำยาว — ลงเสียงหนักให้ถูกพยางค์: emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, surprisingly /səˈpɹaɪzɪŋli/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, developer /dɪˈvɛləpɚ/
เสียงที่คนไทยมักออกเสียงยาก:
- เสียงท้ายคำ — ออกเสียงให้ครบ ไม่เปลี่ยนเป็นตัวสะกดแบบไทย: spill /spɪl/, pickle /ˈpɪkəl/, disguise /dɪsˈɡaɪz/, heel /hil/, sleeve /sliv/
- /v/ — ไม่ใช่ /w/ ให้ฟันบนแตะริมฝีปากล่าง: sleeve /sliv/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/, preview /ˈpɹiːvjuː/, investor /ɪnˈvɛs.tə(ɹ)/, dive /daɪv/
- /z/ — เสียงก้อง ไม่ใช่ /s/: disguise /dɪsˈɡaɪz/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, unpleasant /ʌnˈplɛzn̩t/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/, surprisingly /səˈpɹaɪzɪŋli/
วิธีฝึกกับวิดีโอนี้
- ฟังวิดีโอให้จบหนึ่งรอบโดยยังไม่ต้องพูด แล้วจดคำที่ยังไม่รู้จัก
- เริ่มที่ความเร็ว 0.75× พูดตามทีละประโยค แล้วกลับไปใช้ความเร็วปกติเมื่อเริ่มคล่อง
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง idiom, flame, wrap เป็นพิเศษ
เทคนิค Shadowing คืออะไร?
Shadowing เป็นเทคนิคการเรียนรู้ภาษาที่ได้รับการรับรองทางวิทยาศาสตร์ พัฒนาขึ้นสำหรับการฝึกนักแปลมืออาชีพ วิธีการนี้เรียบง่ายแต่ทรงพลัง: คุณฟังเสียงภาษาอังกฤษจากเจ้าของภาษาและพูดตามทันที — เหมือนเงาที่ตามผู้พูดด้วยช่วงเวลาห่าง 1-2 วินาที การวิจัยแสดงว่าเทคนิคนี้ปรับปรุงความแม่นยำในการออกเสียง ทำนองเสียง จังหวะ การเชื่อมเสียง การฟังเข้าใจ และความคล่องแคล่วในการพูดได้อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ
