Evan TS#6

Hyo Sang and I talked about idioms today. I had a list of them written on my phone and I would say one. Hyo Sang would then try and guess what it meant. He got close on a few of them, but most of them I had to explain. He was excited to learn these new terms and I could tell he wanted to use them as soon as possible. He even used some during our conversation. He told me the phrase "kill to birds with one stone" was similar to the phrase in Korean except that the animal is a rabbit. When learning the phrase "easy does it" I told him that the meaning partially comes from the way the phrase is said. Also, if one were to say "easy" to express the same meaning as "easy does it" then the the pronunciation of "easy" should be elongated. We faced some difficulty when I introduced the term "vice versa," but after a few different examples he understood and was impressed by how it could be used in a sentence.
