Thanks so much.

Giving thanks is the beginning of great wisdom. Giving thanks disavows both ignorance and arrogance.
You’re a famous teacher.

Hi Rebecca,

thank you for this excellent, beautiful and useful lesson.

Our version of the English idiom DON´T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEVORE THEY´RE HUTCHED is this :

DON´T SHOUT “HOP” TILL YOU DON´T JUMP OVER.

adrijana

Our analogue is “Chickens should be counted in autumn”.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. In French we’d say : “L’habit ne fait pas le moine”, “The clothes don’t make the monk”. Merci Teacher Rebecca for your excellent lessons. Antoine.

We have almost the same proverbs in Russian and Ukrainian languages as well/ But some of them are a little bit different/ For example, Seven cooks spoil the broth. But in Russian “SEVEN babysitters spoil the baby”

Thank you, Rebecca.

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. In spanish we say “Don’t sell the bear’s skin before you hunt it.

For “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched” we usually use “don’t sell the bear’s skin before you’ve caught it”
