In this English class I will help you learn some words and phrases that were inspired by the behaviours or looks of the animals around us. Sometimes animals look or behave in a certain way, and we've decided to add words and phrases to the English language to describe people and things using animal words and phrases.

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: catwalk, drowned rat, to squirrel away, dog days, underdog, to pig out, to hog something, goose-neck, to hold your horses, to have ants in your pants, pecking order, bull market, bear market, and many more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about animal inspired words and phrases. Have a great day!
