Michael Lavers
About this episode

I first covered this topic back in Episode 215, but it's such a huge one, I think it's time for a Part 2.

Today, I'm sharing 6 idioms related to animals that we use in daily conversations in British English.

While I share each one, I give you some examples from my own life to connect them with and make them more memorable and invite you to do the same.

How many did you know?
