Some idioms have almost a word for word translation into another language. For example, If you solve two problems with one action, you can use the English idiom 'to kill two birds with one stone' or in Spanish 'Matar dos pájaros de un tiro'. It’s quite similar in French, too; “Faire d'une pierre deux coups”. In Hungarian it’s a similar idiom: "To catch two flies with one slap."

However, there are many idioms that do not translate well into English. In this episode, we’ve collected some of the funnier ones.
