As many of you have noticed by now, English is not my "mother tongue".
I'm not always getting certain phrases and I learn something new every day, like that even girls are addressed as "dude".
So, does something come to your mind I really need to know in order to "survive" when talking to american and british folks? Metaphores you don't learn in school in Austria?
Like "to burn the midnight oil", meaning to work through the night?
looking forward to learn some new phrases,
Karin
