Merits of Idioms
Idioms help us say many things with just a few words.
They help us enrich our language, they are nicer to listen to and make the conversation less monotonous and more funny.
Idioms are often used by native speakers, so if you wanna sound like one, you should start using them.
Idioms help us be more confident with our target language and thus be “As cool as cucumber”.
