Hi, Dbrae,

I appreciate your comment. That is one of my favorite idioms as well.

And I'm sure there must be some trivia games out there.

If you would like to learn more about the French culture and language, I recommend you check out my blog. I try to update it regularly.

Thanks for commenting.

Hi, Line,

I do agree with you. Languages are full of interesting things.

In answer to your question, that would be an interesting topic.

Very entertaining and informative. My favorite was "Revenons à nos moutons". Now I just have to find out how to pronounce that!

Learning how idioms are used in other languages (and how they cannot be sensibly and literally translated) is very intriguing. I can imagine some of these factoids being used in a game of trivia!

Hi there, learning French idioms with animals actually makes it much more fun, and easier to remember if you also know what it actually means. I love the one when somebody is rambling on and you tell them "revenons a nos moutons", "to get back to their sheep". It would be interesting to know if any of these idioms have a specific response associated with them.
