Two friends, Alex and Jamie, are chatting in a park.
Alex: Hey Jamie, did you hear about the surprise party tonight?
Jamie: No, I haven’t. Are you serious?
Alex: Absolutely! And don't worry, I'm just pulling your leg about the party details.
Jamie: (Looking confused) Wait, what do you mean by "pulling your leg"? Are you actually grabbing my leg?
Alex: (Laughs) No, no! "Pulling your leg" is an idiom. It means I'm just joking or teasing you. I'm not doing anything physical at all.
Jamie: Oh, I see! I thought you meant something literal.
Alex: I can understand the confusion. English idioms can be tricky. "Pulling your leg" simply means I'm kidding.
Jamie: Honestly, I always have a hard time understanding or remembering idioms. How do you do it so easily?
Alex: Well, Mrs. Smith on italki taught me all the tips and tricks for mastering them.
Jamie: Really? How do I get her to teach me too?
Alex: It's super simple, just click her picture on italki and book a lesson.
Jamie: Wow, so simple! I've just booked my lesson. I can't wait to finally get the hang of these idioms.
