Today’s lesson is inspired by a student question – he asked what the expression “we're spinning our wheels” means. Take the lesson to find out!

You'll learn 10 interesting expressions for progress, including:

run into a brick wall
shift into high gear

You can learn a lot more of these casual and colorful expressions in spoken English in my courses.

I especially recommend:
