Prepare for a surprising answer!

We also take a 'close'-r look at the English expression "close, but no cigar". It's one of those expressions where you have no idea what the expression means, and has a fascinating origin story.

To help you understand the expression, I give out 3 examples of how to effectively use the expression "close, but no cigar" in everyday conversation. As part of the lesson, you'll get the chance to sharpen your pronunciation skills with a fun exercise.

And lastly, a listening and writing exercise will put your expression knowledge to the test. So, be prepared to engage with a scene from the Australian drama movie "Storm Boy".
