If you read this blog regularly, you might already know that I love English idioms and idiomatic expressions 
I enjoy writing about them, and I enjoy finding photos that represent either the literal or more figurative meanings of the things I write about.
A good image can make explanations much more engaging and fun, and easier to remember.
With this in mind, I was interested to find this new site Rolls off the Tongue, that explains idioms through the use of cartoons.
The cartoonists will be posting a new idiom with its meaning, origin, and an example sentence, each week. You can interact with each cartoon in various ways, including guessing the idiom, or getting a hint to help you.
The cartoons are excellent and I think this is a fun way to practise and improve your English.
Guessing the meaning of the idioms from photos or pictures is fairly challenging, so I think these wonderful cartoons are most suitable for more advanced learners of English.
Rolls off the Tongue also have a Facebook page.

Thanks for your kind words. I just came across your blog, by surfing Twitter. BTW there’s going to be some more stuff offered on the tumblr site. You’re completely right that our toons are for more advanced speakers and unless someone already has the idiom in their vocabulary, they have “a snowball’s chance in hell” of guessing it. Nevertheless, I’m hoping that teachers are using some of the other features. So to that end, we’ve decided to add Explantions, explaining the actual illustration and why it’s funny. Of course, by doing so, all the humor will be drained out, but since they weren’t laughing anyway, at least they might understand WHY it’s supposed to be funny. Hope that makes some kind of sense.
Have you guessed this week’s idiom yet?
