German: Mach bloß nicht aus einer Mücke einen Elefanten. 02:50 Look before you leap. Russian: Measure seven times - cut only once! or Measure seven times before you cut off! Cемь раз отмерь, один раз отрежь. German: First you weigh, than you dare. Erst wägen, dann wagen. 03:49 Let sleeping dogs lie. Russian: Don't awake a sleeping beast. Не буди спящего зверя. German: Schlafende Hunde soll man nicht wecken. or Don't stab in a beehive. Stochere nicht im Bienenstock. 5:07 All that glitters isn't gold. Russian: It is not always gold that glitters.

Thanks a lot for such an interesting and useful for the English learners video. The proverbs you've mentioned have got the equivalents in many languages. So it makes me think there is much to join us in spite of the differences in our cultures. Coming back to the proverbs I like the tongue twister similar to "Let sleeping dog lie". It is 'Don't trouble the trouble until the trouble troubles you.'

[@gopich1975]

Thank you for the wonderful video. My mother tongue is Telugu, which is spoken by over 100 million people in India and abroad. We have most of these proverbs in Telugu either with identical text or similar text. These 8 proverbs signify universally applicable advice and suggestions, hence there is no surprise to find these expressions in my native language Telugu too. For example, in Telugu we say "Gorantanu kondantalu cheyadamu", which is analogous to "making a mountain out of a mole hill". In Telugu goru means finger nail while konda means mountain. Similarly "merisedanta bangaramu kaadu" is identical to "all that glitters is not gold". "gata jala setu bandhanamu" is analogous to "crying over spilled milk". "Talaku minchina bharamu ettukoku" is analogous to "don't bite off more than you can chew". "gurraanni neeti daggaraku teesuku vellavachu kaanee neellu traaginchalemu" is identical to "leading a horse to water but can't make him drink". Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express these great proverbs in my language Telugu.

Hey,Lisa! Thank you so much for teaching us some incredible proverbs again. Your videos are absolutely out of the world, due to you I do improve my English everyday. As for proverbs,in Ukraine we say “Робити слона з мухи”,which can be translated as “To make an elephant out of a fly” instead of “To make mountain out of molehill”. “Сім раз відмір,один раз відріж”,which is translated as “Measure seven times,cut once”,which has the same meaning as “Look before you leap”. “Не буде лиха,поки лихо спить” - “There will be no trouble while it sleeps” instead of “Let sleeping dogs lie” and «Не всього можна досягти силою»/“Not everything can be achieved at force” instead of “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink”

In Brazil in order to say "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill" we say "Don't make a storm out of a glass of water" (Não faça tempestade em um copo d'água). Otherwise in order to say “all that glitters isn’t gold” It would be “not everything that shines is gold” (nem tudo que reluz é ouro) is quite a similar proverb. Although they have the same idea, naturally many of them could not be literally translated.

[@emmanuelmeneses3694]

We Mexicans say the same proverbs, "don't make a storm out of a glass of water" "No hagas una tormenta en un vaso de agua", and "All that glitters isn't gold" "No todo lo que relumbra es oro".
