1: Funny Idioms, and Why You Should Not Translate Word for Word

Hi, it's Rita and Raffaele! In this first episode of the Easy Languages Podcast, we introduce ourselves (and our accents) and discuss why we love languages. We are both part of the Easy Languages network and just recently met in Barcelona, where we produced videos about funny idioms, among other things. As our week's tip, we explain why you should stop translating individual words in your head.
