Hello, I’m a very interesting and intelligent man. And today I'm getting together with these beans to teach you some English idioms.
I bet you’ve never been taught by a bean before! Never been taught by a bean before … ha ha!

Been taught by a bean … ho ho! So funny!

Anyway. Coffee. My favourite drink. It comes from beans. I’ve had a several cups of coffee today. Actually, I’ve had one, two… ten cups of coffee!
That’s why I’m full of beans! In English, if someone is full of energy, we can say he’s ‘full of beans’.

To be full of beans.

Hello, I’m a very interesting and intelligent man. And today I’m getting together with some of my feathered friends to teach you a thing or two about English idioms.

I bet you’ve never been never been taught by a bird before. You might think that birds are not very clever and so not very good teachers – and you’re right! I mean look at them.

Their heads are tiny. And a tiny head means a tiny brain. So in English we call someone isn't very bright ‘birdbrain’.

‘Birdbrain’ – something I’ve never been called.

Another thing you may have noticed about birds is that they can fly, which is very clever considering they are birdbrains.

Now imagine the view a bird can get when it’s flying. 
Here’s a bird high in the sky and here’s the ground. 
Marvellous. They can see everything.

So, come on, what do you think the idiom ‘to have a bird’s eye view’ means?

That’s right, it means to be able to see very clearly from a high place.
What's that you say? Ah, really, is that right, hmm…
I’ve got some very interesting information.
Would you like to know who told me? Well didn’t you see? A little bird told me.

I can use this idiom when I want to give you some information but I don't want you to know who told me.

A… little… bird… told… me… some very interesting information about…You!

Hello, I’m a very interesting and intelligent man. And today these bees and I are getting together to teach you a thing or two about English idioms. I bet you’ve never been taught by a bee before!
Look at them all working away: busy, buzzy bees.

Busy, buzzy, buzzy, buzzy, buzzy ……buzz buzz.

In English, if someone is very busy or is moving around quickly doing lots of things we can say they’re busy as a bee.
