Idioms 📖
Hey everyone! 👋
English quirk incoming! 🔍 Have you ever wondered why native speakers say "break a leg" when they actually want you to do a good job?

Today's Thought: Translating ideas instead of words is the true secret to sounding natural.
Stop by the lobby or talk with your teacher this week, and tell us: What is one English idiom or phrase that still sounds completely strange to you?
Let's chat and keep the conversation going together!
