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 at breakneck pace ...and more. You can learn a lot more of these casual and colorful expressions in spoken English in my courses. I especially recommend:  Everyday English Speaking Course Level 2 (helps you learn expressions from conversations) or my English Idioms Course (in which you will figure out idioms through quizzes).
