The first note in my itaki
ho~ what sort of sites could do nice service like italki
Actually, my first visit to here was to find a meaning of an English phrase
These days, i'm watching the series of Game of thrones with no subtitles( but refer eng sub when i can't understand what the characters say)
There are many sentences that i've never heard when i was learning eng in Korea. For example, 'for all the good it does', or 'see what he sees'

"For all the good it does" is a figure of speech. It's basically a phrase that means "it doesn't really do much good" or "it's getting me nowhere." It's saying that no matter how much you do something, there's no progress. I guess it's more of a colloquial saying.
I would use this phrase in a conversation:
Friend: "How are you doing with your studies?"
Me: "I've studied so much, for all the good it does." = I've studied so much but it isn't helping me learn anything.
