In this lesson, you will learn about “idioms and proverbs,” an especially important topic in kanji and vocabulary. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain their structure and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
An idiom expresses a special meaning through the combination of its words as a whole, while a proverb briefly expresses a lesson learned from experience.
