FYW 221: Idiomatic French expressions: “Donner sa langue au chat” (and more !)

Thanks to Tina for suggesting to talk about French expressions on the podcast. Idiomatic expressions can be so difficult for language learners because they often don't make sense when they are translated literally. However, they're rather fun and also commonly used, therefore it is always useful to know them. Of course, I also find it very interesting to research the ORIGIN of the expressions!
