Erika TS #8 Adult

I had my last tutoring session with In-Hwa on Friday and we covered vocabulary. We went over a list of American phrases I had prepared for her. My mom had trouble understanding these when I was younger, so I figured that they would be difficult for foreigners to understand because they are not literal. The list was the following: 1. A bigger bang for your buck 

2. As easy as pie/ piece of cake

3.Between a rock and a hard place

4. Break a leg

5. Catch 22

6. Brownie points

7. Chick flick

8. Close but no cigar

9. In the bag

10. New kid on the block

The first time we went over these, I defined them and gave her an example. The second time, I asked her to give me her own definition of the phrases at random. The third time, I asked her to give my hypothetical scenarios in which she would use these phrases.
