1000 images on the tip of my tongue

Have you ever wondered what the French or Spanish equivalent is for see eye to eye with somebody? Do you know how to translate son chien est mort or a voz en grito? Forget textbooks and dictionaries—the answer is just one click away.

The site 1000 images on the tip of my tongue is a trilingual (English, French, Spanish) directory containing over 3000 expressions sorted by theme. A short text illustrates the expression's meaning, and a digital audio file helps you pronounce it correctly. You can also watch short cartoons that show the expressions in context. It costs nothing to use 1000 images on the tip of my tongue (www), which is an initiative of the Collegial Centre for Educational Materials Development.
