All cards have generated audio and an explanation of the idiom in the notes. Example sentences will be added throughout time :slight_smile:

A lot of times when consuming Japanese content, we end up finding words connected together that don’t really make sense, even after translating word by word. Usually, those are expressions.

By learning common Japanese idioms, not only will you be able to make sense of them whenever you see them in exposure, but you’ll also learn exclusive ways Japanese people communicate with each other and be able to be part of it.

Enjoy :v:

Hmm… I think 臭い物に蓋をする is an interesting one :rofl:

I also like 重箱の隅をつつく (to nitpick) and 後ろ髪を引かれる思い (a feeling of reluctance). I had the opportunity to use the former with a native and they were mind-blown :slight_smile:
