Learning
When will these expressions be used?
Hi, I am an English teacher for the younger generation, living in Korea.
I've never lived in the countries where people use English as their mother tongue. I've just learned English through books, especially grammar ones.
I come across the phrases like "a man of experience", "with easy" in many grammar books written in Hangeul(Korean language)
Here are the questions I'd like to ask.
Q1) Are these expressions used in common?
Q2) Would you rather use "experienced" and "easily"?
Q3) Or both of them are used without any problems? If so, what would be the differences between them?
I know these are not wrong in grammar but I'd like to know the native speakers' feeling about them.
Thanks in advance.

I appreciate your timely answer.
Would you mind if I ask you how to differentiate literary words from spoken ones?

I am asking it on the off chance.
Isn't there any other way to learn a second language except memorizing all the cases and except

Massive amounts of reading, and then some more reading.
This sort of stuff isn't for beginners. Beginners should stick to basic communication. When people have acquired a higher level of competence they can then worry about the finer points of the language such
