Great resource - I'll use this with my Y9s next week, they're always really fascinated by the idea of words/expressions that mean something in one language but make no sense if you translate them directly (they know the "Spanish cow" one already as it came up in a film we were watching, and they thought it was hilarious. They say to me in English "my homework's like a Spanish cow wrote it" if they think it's not very good :-)

This will brighten up a dull day! It is a good way to get the students to understand that translations aren't always literal! - thanks.

I like it, thanks for sharing! Always nice to read new phrases... and be reminded of others, some of them made me laugh, cheers!
