Annotation: Idiomatic expressions are expressions that combine two or more words to form a new meaning that is completely different from the original meaning. In order for Korean learners as a foreign language to acquire appropriate communication skills and sentence interpretation skills, it is essential to learn idiomatic expressions that are deeply rooted in the lives of Koreans. Most idiomatic expressions are closely related to traditional customs and historical origins. In addition, when explaining something in words, idiomatic expressions can be used to effectively and concisely convey it to the other person, so they are often used in daily life. Therefore, it is important to know idiomatic expressions in order to use Korean fluently. This paper will examine the difficulties of learning idiomatic expressions for Korean learners.
