Project/event description: 
We would like to talk with people and schools in other countries and learn about idioms. According to Cambridge School Dictionary, IDIOM is a group of words used together with a meaning that you cannot guess from the meanings of the separate words. We’ll take a look at some challenges automatic translation tools face with such idioms.Therefore, in this videoconference, we will have fun sharing some of our language idioms and meanings.
