DESCRIPTION:%{color:red}FREE event%\n\nJoin us with Thora Van Male to disc
 over her new book  “French Idioms… and their English equivalents”\n\
 nThora van Male is a native English speaker (Canada) who has adopted Franc
 e and the French language. Like all language learners\, she is sensitive t
 o what seem to be the “quirks” of her second language. In her latest b
 ook\, Quand les cochons sauront voler … les poules auront des dents: Les
  expressions françaises and their English equivalents\, she presents some
  200 French idiomatic expressions with their equivalents in English\, expl
 aining and commenting both.\nIn the talk at the Alliance française\, she 
 will present a brief “making of” the book\, pointing out not only the 
 challenge of finding illustrations for each English/French pair\, but more
  importantly on the diverging ways English and French put their thoughts i
 nto images. How is it that the English “forever and a day” is 107 ans 
 in French? What are tenterhooks\, and how do they connect to red-hot coals
  (charbons ardents). How does a Frenchman get a cat in his throat (un chat
  dans la gorge) when a Briton has a frog?\n\n_Booking required at *info.al
