Abstract
Idioms or idiomatic expressions are an important part of a nation’s language and its tradition. Furthermore, they are considered the basis of learning a second language since they may indicate one’s eloquence in that language, which is why they are worthy of attention. However, due to their complexity they tend to present a great challenge for second language learners. A little or no attention has been paid to the acquisition and comprehension of idioms in English as a foreign language. This thesis will provide definitions of idiomatic expressions, give an overview of the ways according to which they were classified by various authors, introduce and explain the concept of transfer, point to the similarities between the Croatian and English language, and describe how they are comprehended by second language learners. This will be done by examining secondary texts and using the information from these sources by connecting them into a united whole.
