Have you ever met someone who has "a lot of tin", felt "with the olive oils", or had "a flea behind your ear"?
Join our Portuguese Taster Session and discover why Portuguese people spend years "turning chickens", tell others to "go comb monkeys", and celebrate success by "breaking all the crockery"!
Come and uncover the stories behind some of Portugal's funniest and most common idiomatic expressions. No Portuguese knowledge needed, just curiosity and a sense of humour!
In partnership with the Camões Centre for Portuguese Language at Leeds and Camões, IP Reino Unido e Ilhas do Canal.
