«Illustrated idioms English Spanish» by Torsten Peters

Discover English idioms and their matching Spanish expressions in 48 memorable and cheerful illustrations.

This is not a standard textbook. It's a book for language lovers and learners who want to explore and live a language. In this book you can browse through 48 idioms, 24 English idioms and their 24 similar Spanish expressions. Each idiom also has its literal translation in the other language and is illustrated by the talented graphic artist Galih Windu.

This book is the brainchild of some friends living in Brussels. We often sat together and enjoyed the fact that languages sometimes have completely different ways to say the same thing. And Torsten Peters asked himself: Why not note this down and make funny illustrations? Language experts and -lovers will enjoy the illustrations and may still discover some new and amusing idioms. For language learners our idioms can be the key to really discover, enjoy and live the new language. And children will love the illustrations and become curious to discover languages.

Please note that the present English-Spanish version (vol. 9) is almost identical to the Spanish-English version, just the introduction is in English and not in Spanish.
