French expressions / Illustration book











If you’ve already read this on my blog, sorry about the copy/paste
Hey, here are some other pictures of another handbook I’ve made this week. Really sorry if you’re not french, this expressions are sometimes a little bit untranslatable!
On the cover, the sentence is simply “This is a book with illustrations on some french expressions”
-”Boire la tasse” is to “to swallow water” in english.
-”La tête dans les nuages” is to be distracted, like “the head in the clouds”.
-”Raser les murs” is like “to shave the walls” haha, but the english expression equivalent is “to hug the walls”.
-”Rapide comme l’éclair” is “quick as a flash”.
-”Chanter comme une baleine”, or “to sing like a whale” is like “to sing out of key”.
-”Il pleut des cordes”, literally “It’s raining strings” is the equivalent of “it’s raining cats and dogs”.
-”Vendre la mèche”, literally “Sell the drill” is like “give the game away”.
Hope you like it again!
