Today's four-character idiom (사자성어) is 팔방미인, jack of all trades. We've learned 八, and 方 (모 방, 7급), 美 (아름다울 미, 6급) will come later, with 人 (사람 인) coming later in level 8.

The meaning of this one is less obvious than the previous two, but we can still start with the meaning of each character individually.

八: eight

方: direction

美: beautiful

人: person

Today's four-character idiom (사자성어) is 일석이조, killing two birds with one stone. As before, we've already learned 一 and 二, but 石 (돌 석, 6급) and 鳥 (새 조, 4급) will come much later.

Similarly to 일구이언, this idiom's meaning is fairly straightforward once you look at the meaning of each character.

一: one

石: stone

二: two

鳥: bird

One stone, two birds.
