	An &lt;A href="javascript:OpenGlossary('idiom.html');"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;idiom&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt; is a phrase where the words together have a meaning that is different from the dictionary definitions of the individual words, which can make idioms hard for ESL students and learners to understand.
