For native speakers, idioms often feel natural and easy to use. For non-native speakers, they may seem like a way to show fluency. But in cross-cultural communication, idioms can create barriers, leaving the reader confused or misinterpreting your message.

Idioms are culture-specific and donโt always translate well. Avoiding them ensures your message is clear, professional, and easy to understand for everyone.
