HOMEWORK FOR TODAY

Hi, [이름]!

Well, idiomatic expressions are somehow important since native speakers use them frequently.

It\'s better to learn more.

Before, I just knew few idiomatic expressions, but when I watch movies I encounter them, so I tried to learn more for me to understand.

You can do it as well. ^^
