🗻 Easier Said Than Done — Daily English Idiom #14
Ep #14 teaches "easier said than done" — when something sounds simple but is way harder in practice.
🗻 When something sounds way too easy...
"I'll wake up at 5 AM and work out every day."
Three days later: alarm goes off. You do not move.
That's easier said than done — the classic gap between talking about something and actually doing it.
Card 1 — The Literal Illustration
A relaxed person casually says "Just climb Mount Everest!" while a tiny figure struggles up a massive icy peak in the background. The visual says it all: words are cheap.
Card 2 — The Definition
Easier Said Than Done Used when something sounds simple to do but is actually much harder in practice.
Card 3 — Real Life Example
"I decided to wake up at 5 AM and run every day!" "Ha — easier said than done. How's day two going?"
The idiom fits anywhere: starting a diet, learning guitar, finishing a project, replying to emails faster. You'll hear it constantly in everyday North American English.
Next time someone pitches a "simple" plan, you know exactly what to say. 😏
