The Creative Woman of the Year Award!

J is for Jokes
Are you ready? Are you ready? I am about to tell you a joke! This is a very common introduction to jokes in many countries. However, in Britain I find jokes have pretty sharp and sudden punch lines. I remember coming here for the first time and the jokes went straight over my head and…

I is for Idioms
Idioms. Metaphors. Phrasal verbs. I love them. I find it so fascinating why languages have different idioms for the same ideas and expressions. (English) = (Mongolian) chalk and cheese = a camel and a goat no room to swing a cat = no room to turn your bottom out of the blue = out of…
