Rispecchiano secoli di storia, di vita quotidiana, di cultura popolare britannica e americana. Le senti ovunque \u2013 nelle conversazioni al pub, nelle serie TV, nei messaggi fra amici.<\/p>\n

Per esprimersi in modo pi\u00f9 idiomatico, si pu\u00f2 usare \u201cbreak a leg\u201d<\/strong> prima di performance e presentazioni, mentre \u201cyou\u2019ve got this\u201d<\/strong> (ce la fai) \u00e8 un incoraggiamento caloroso, molto comune tra i giovani anglofoni; puoi usarlo per esempio prima di un esame.<\/p>\n

    \u201cFingers crossed\u201d<\/strong> (dita incrociate) si usa sia per augurare buona fortuna a qualcun altro, sia per esprimere la propria speranza riguardo a qualcosa che si sta aspettando, ad esempio \u201cI\u2019ve sent the application, fingers crossed<\/em>\u201d (ho mandato la candidatura, speriamo bene).<\/p>\n

La teoria pi\u00f9 diffusa la collega al mondo del teatro anglofono: augurare \u201cgood luck\u201d<\/strong> a un attore prima di uno spettacolo era considerato di cattivo auspicio, come da noi dire \u201cbuona fortuna\u201d al posto di \u201cin bocca al lupo\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Si usava quindi l\u2019espressione contraria, \u201cbreak a leg\u201d<\/strong>, con la logica scaramantica dell\u2019augurio rovesciato. Un\u2019altra teoria collega l\u2019espressione al sipario laterale: \u201cleg\u201d<\/strong> in gergo teatrale indicava la tenda che delimitava le quinte, e \u201cbreaking the leg\u201d significava oltrepassarla per andare in scena \u2013 il che presuppone uno spettacolo riuscito.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”curve_asym”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-left” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_icon icon_family=”fontawesome” icon_style=”default” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Accent-Color” icon_padding=”20px” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-birthday-cake”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

    Come iniziare davvero a usare i modi di dire in inglese<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Conoscere gli idioms<\/em> a memoria \u00e8 un punto di partenza, ma non basta: bisogna sentirli usati in contesto, capire l’intonazione, il registro, il momento giusto. Le serie TV<\/a> <\/strong>e i libri per imparare l\u2019inglese<\/a> <\/strong>aiutano, i podcast anche \u2013 ma rimangono un allenamento, non la partita vera.<\/p>\n

    Il secondo passo, quello decisivo, \u00e8 riconoscerli quando arrivano in conversazione: veloci, spesso inattesi, senza il sottotitolo. E per farlo davvero, niente batte l\u2019esposizione diretta.
