Learning English Idioms the Fun Way — Burn the Midnight Oil & Elephant in the Room

 At AELS Fullerton , our students are learning English through real conversations, not just textbooks! This week’s class focused on two popular idioms — “Burn the Midnight Oil” and “Elephant in the Room.” ✨ Burn the Midnight Oil means staying up late to finish important work or study.
