Dojun and I talked on Skype about idioms again. This time we reviewed the idioms that we had gone over previously. I hoped that this exercise would help with his recall and forming of English explanations in order to build comfortability with each phrase. I think it was successful as he seemed more confident with each idiom after repeating them second time. After reviewing, we attempted to find out where the idiom "my guess is as good as yours" came from because Dojun thought it was the most interesting. We could not find a concrete origin, but it became popular sometime during the 1920s. Then we talked about the American voting system. I described the Electoral College and how it distributes voting power to each state. I told him that there is some controversy with this system, but no changes have been made yet. I also told him about how candidates from each party are chosen by way of debates and primaries.
