Piovono gatti! Le più divertenti espressioni da veri inglesi

There is a magical and very strange place where the clouds are lined with silver, cats and dogs rain from the sky, you can meet people with two left feet and also learn important news from the mouth…of a horse! But where will you find such a crazy and bizarre place? The answer is simple: in the heart of the English language, in its idiomatic expressions, so bizarre yet commonly used.

Through forty short, ironic and lively texts, the author introduces as many of these expressions, offering the reader a large number of information on their meaning and their origins.

A unique and fun way to enrich and deepen your knowledge of the Anglo-American language and culture.
