Hi students!
Our phrase of the day comes from a dance competition I was watching.
One of the dancers said that she and her partner had practiced the choreography a lot.
Choreography is the sequence of movements in a dance.
But she felt like the dance routine was still rough around the edges.
Something that is rough around the edges is mostly good, but not completely perfect.
It is acceptable, but it still has a few minor flaws.
We usually use it for objects.
For example, if you're trying to make your own clothing, your very first attempt at making
a shirt might be rough around the edges because you don't yet have all the skills to make it perfect.
We also use it for projects and performances.
Rough around the edges is occasionally used for people to describe a person
who has some negative qualities, such as lacking manners or style.
You might feel like your English is rough around the edges, like it's not perfect, but I'm here to help you improve.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.
Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited
premium wireless for $15 a month is back.
So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills.
