Here are some useful expressions to help you.
You might want to start with a classic ‘word repetition’ expression, ‘easy peasy’. This is particularly handy if you want to keep the mood light-hearted and humorous. Not so good if you want to make a serious point.
“Of course I can cook dinner for you. Easy peasy!”
In fact, most of the sayings which describe something being easy are fairly jocular, perhaps because of the nature of what they’re relating.
Informally, something is ‘a cinch’ or ‘dead (meaning totally) easy’.
“Doing equations is a cinch.”
“Learning English vocabulary is dead easy.”
If you want to get slightly more poetic, you can use ‘a piece of cake’, on the grounds that separating a slice from the main part of the cake is not especially difficult. (Particularly if it’s a chocolate cake…)
“I can chop this wood in no time. It’s a piece of cake!”
Or you could use ‘it’s like falling off a log’.
If you imagine how likely it is that you’ll put your foot wrong and fall when attempting antics those like in the photograph below, you’ll get the picture.
Easily…
“Riding a horse is like falling off a log for me.”
Lastly, ‘Bob’s your uncle’ is often used at the end of a set of simple instructions to say: “…and that’s it. Easy!” or: “Your success is guaranteed.”
“You just mix the eggs with flour, pour it into a tin and Bob’s your uncle.”
The phrase dates back to 1887, when British Prime Minister Robert (Bob) Cecil appointed his nephew Arthur Balfour to the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland, which was viewed as a shocking example of nepotism. Thus it became a popular way of saying you’ve got it made, easily.
In recent years, the expression has gained a more contemporary slant, reflecting the diversity of modern Britain, with the humorous ‘Bob’s your auntie’s live-in lover.’
And that’s it!
