3 Common Idioms for Appearance
Why should you learn idioms? Because they’re everywhere! Often, they are one of the final parts of language that students must learn to feel truly confident when speaking. In this lesson, I teach you THREE very common idioms that people use to talk about someone’s appearance, and in one case, someone’s performance. The idioms in this video include:to look like a million bucks, to catch someone’s eye, and to cry one’s eyes out. It’s one thing to know the meaning of an idiom, and it’s another thing to use it with confidence. That’s why I provide context and example sentences that are easy to remember in this lesson. If you enjoy this video and you want to continue increasing your knowledge of idioms, make sure to get a copy of my book, 200 Practical English Idioms. It has only high-frequency idioms, many examples, and clear definitions. It’s language you can use!

Your video caught my eye and I have watched it. I got 10 correct out of 10. Great!
Great lesson Alex!!Thank you so much!
That’s you who looks like a million bucks.
Merci Alex.
In polish we say “wpaść w oko” not “złapać za oko”. But anyway great lesson Alex. I’ve made 10 out of 10 in quiz. Best regards!
Thank you Alex. Your explanation was like a million bucks
Your lesson caught my eye and from this time on, I could say that Iam a million bucks worth!
Alex, thank you so much for this lesson and great idea to teach us these idioms. Your explanation is brilliant!
To practice them I’d like to mention the movie “Titanik”. From my point of view this film includes all three idioms. The plot is so sad that I cried my eyes out. But Kate Winslet who plays a role of Rose is believable and her stunning outfits really caught my eye. I think she looks like a million bucks!
