Another phrase

Feeling like being in such a situation this phrase could be a good one for today:

“to bite off more than one can chew”

sich zu viel zumuten/mehr in Angriff nehmen, als man bewältigen kann


Have a nice Friday!

Good morning!

Here is another one for all of us who have to struggle with their bosses:

"You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

(Was Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr.)

Have a great Monday!

Nice phrases, but I am sure, I will not remember them when necessary.

Sayings are very interesting in different languages.
For example:

We can't compare 'Apples and pears'.

in the US they can't compare 'Apples and oranges'.

Hard to believe, isn't it.

My English is a bit rusty. I comprehend your conversation only due to LEO.

So many sheep on the island - but there isn't any sheep-cheese.

And no cheap cheese either! (I HAD to play on those words, sorry!)

Kiesel, that's why we train here! ;o)

I don't eat cheese... cheap or expensive only on pizza.. and I cannot tell you why... I really don't know what made me dislike cheese.....

You just know it is rotten milk.
