🐎 Hold Your Horses — Daily English Idiom #16
Ep #16 teaches "hold your horses" — slow down and wait before acting — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a panicked cartoon figure dangling from the reins of two galloping horses, a bold eggplant-purple definition card, and a café dialogue where the idiom naturally redirects someone about to jump ahead.
