Idiom 1 – When it rains, it pours.

Welcome to the LINGUA FRANCA blog! To start things off, here is the first idiom from our series, with extra information that you can only find here on our blog.

When it rains, it pours = Ein Unglück kommt selten allein.

If you translate the English idiom directly into German, it means Es regnet nie, es schüttet. You might know this idiom from the old song by Albert Hammond „It Never Rains In Southern California“ (…it pours, man, it pours)

Enjoy!
