Today let's take a look at a number of expressions that use an object or an animal to emphasise a quality. For example, cool as a cucumber. "Cool" here means cool-headed, or someone who can keep their cool even when they're under a bit of pressure, or stress. I like this idiom; I find it funny - I mean, it says that someone is cool as a... cucumber. And of course, I get it, cucumbers feel pretty fresh and cool, but it still sounds funny. So, for example, you might say th

So let me present you this week with a couple of idioms that are, as always, very common and... I heard both of them this week, I don't remember where. Probably on some TV show or a podcast. And the reason they stuck with me is, we say the exact same thing in Brazil, but with slightly different words. So if we haven't heard or read these expressions enough and internalised them, guess what... It's our instinct to kind of translate the words we use in

Some people are great at taking a joke. They're able to laugh it off and go on with their business, and not hold a grudge. There are people, however, that don't do so well. Maybe because they're more sensi

We say the exact same thing in Brazil. Where there's smoke, there's fire. That's what we think when it looks like something's wrong, or when we hear a rumour about something and we're not able to tell a hundred percent whether it's true or not... but we do tend to believe that there's something there. Most people do become s

On TV shows, magazines, books, websites, everywhere you look there's a new study or piece of advice regarding how to keep healthy. Over the years I've heard the following saying quite a few times: One apple a day keeps the doctor away. Some people say that because, apparently, apples are so nutritious that if you eat an apple every day, y

I did, on the 29th of April - the final deadline for online tax returns in Brazil. Listen again: file a tax return. A tax return is a form - and it can be a paper form, or an online form - where you, the taxpayer, state your income and other information about your life, every year. That's the way people talk about this - in other words, that's the

Thank you for telling your friends, your neighbours, your family and keep listening. So here's a very common way to use the word 'law': when someone breaks the law. Obviously, if you fail to obey a law; if you do something against the law, then you're breaking the law. For example, shoplifting is against the law. What is shoplifting? That's taking merchandise from a shop without paying for it. That is against the law and if you've done it, you've broken the law. So I did a search on Tw

Get rich quick. And it is very commonly used as an adjective - for example, a get-rich-quick scheme. Notice that when a phrase becomes an adjective, it gets hyphenated - check out the transcript and you'll see it. So I'm sure you can imagine what a get-rich-quick scheme is. I used to ge

People usually say that to mean, you know, that they can be impartial or unbiased regarding the topic they're talking about, as in "I don't have a horse in this race - whatever the outcome, it d

I love talking about the word news, because the way it agrees with the verb is counterintuitive to us Portuguese speakers, so the more we hear it used the correct way, the more familiar with it we'll get. In other words, news ends with an S and we Brazilians have this almost uncontrollable impulse to say "the

One of them was too far away from the city centre. It was a nice house, but it would take me one hour and a half to get to the city centre if I started living there, so I ruled it ou
