CONCLUSION In conclusion, I would like to say that the project helped me to realize why we learn idioms. Of course, you can live without them, speaking with the words and phrases which are familiar to us. But our speech will become as contemporary as imaginative and beautiful if we are able to think and speak, using idioms and proverbs. Using idioms, we can significantly improve our language skills and become interesting and well - educated people. The knowledge of idioms does not only help you to be understood but to understand others, to perceive the exact meaning of the utterance in a foreign language. So, the learning of idioms and using them correctly in the speech is a true indicator of the language proficiency.
