“Gaja z gajówki” to już czterotomowa seria autorstwa Anny Włodarkiewicz o piegowatej, energicznej dziewczynce, która udowadnia, że życie z dala od ekranów – bez smartfona, gier komputerowych i telewizora – może być pełne pasji, przygód i prawdziwych odkryć.

These are idioms, fascinating word combinations that, for me, are the colorful embellishments of language,
Każdy, kto uczy się języka obcego, prędzej czy później natrafi na wyrażenia, których znaczenie nie wynika dosłownie z poszczególnych słów. Ich znaczenie jest metaforyczne, ustalone i zrozumiane tylko w danym języku. Są to idiomy, niezwykle fascynujące związki wyrazowe. Dla mnie są barwną ozdobą języka, kodem kulturowym i jednocześnie zapisem, w
