On apprend les idioms

Idioms are great aren’t they? Cath spotted this one on a billboard in town.

Euronews even wrote a piece celebrating some French idioms to mark Francophone week.

It features expressions like:

• Ça ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard

• On n’est pas sorti de l’auberge

• Tu me cours sur le haricot

I also learnt some idioms during my French lesson.

• Avoir du pain sur la planche – to have a lot of work.

• J’ai d’autre chats à fouetter – I’ve got other cats to whip – a slightly more aggressive expression than other fish to fry.
