I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure!

There's just so much material to cover, and so much of it is like intuitive language translation, I can't figure how to put it into tutorial form any more than I could draw a picture of how to speak Russian. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
