Hello Ajarn Ken, I have known about the idiom in English called a snap decision. Can you tell me more about what it means please?

Thank you

Idioms are great fun ways to use the English language. They can add more power to your speech or your writing and also take your spoken English to a new level. Today we have a great English idiom that is used quite a lot in English by native speakers and it's one that I think you will have good fun using.

Ajarn Ken can you tell me the meaning of the English Idiom Hard Up. It means to have little or no money, right?

A great expression for those wanting to learn British English. It means that something is a bit of an anti-climax, it's disappointing. Youve been very excited for something to happen but when it does, it was boring and not what you expected in a negative way

I had been looking forward to the party for so long but when I got there nobody showed up and it was so boring. It was such a damp squib

I was in learn English class recent and one thing I do with students, is we talk about their work experiences and the good things that happened to them and the feedback they received.
