Ich treibe Sport sehr gern und um mich mit Muttersprachlern unterhalten zu können, lerne ich immer Wörter, die mir nah sind, d.h. die meine Hobbys irgendwie darstellen. Man lernt schneller, wenn man irgendwelche Verbindung zum gelernten Wortschatz hat. =))

Hello guys! 😀 Our idiom of the day is ”Elvis has left the building”, which means “the show or event has ended”.
Origin: “Elvis has left the building” is a phrase that was often used by public address announcers at the conclusion of Elvis Presley concerts in order to disperse audiences who lingered in hopes of an encore.
