The expression “the whole kit and caboodle” is an idiom in English that means everything, absolutely everything, leaving nothing out. It is similar to saying “the whole lot” or “the entire set,” and it is used when someone includes all things, people, or possible elements in something.

“Practice Makes Perfect” is our A2.2 course, the second sublevel of A2 according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). The expression refers to the fact that repeated effort and training lead to improvement and mastery and that the more you practice something, the better you will become at it.
