This book is the brainchild of some friends living in Brussels. We often sat together and enjoyed the fact that languages sometimes have completely different ways to say the same thing. And Torsten Peters asked himself: Why not note this down and make funny illustrations? Language experts and -lovers will enjoy the illustrations and may still discover some new and amusing idioms. For language learners our idioms can be the key to really discover, enjoy and live the new language. And children will love the illustrations and become curious to discover languages.

Please note that the present English-German version (vol. 3) is almost identical to the German English version (vol. 4), just the introduction is in English and not in German.
