Idioms. They Don't Translate
Hallo. As you may or may not know, I have spent the last two and a half weeks in Germany, and tomorrow we're going to Norway for a week. Yup. Being bilingual, I like to notice differences in sentence structure or specific words between English and German. That didn't seem so nerdy in my head. But anyways, I have realized that idioms. Do. Not. Translate. Like, if a foreigner came to good ole Murica, they would be genuinely perplexed if you said you had a cup of Joe for breakfast.
