Different Bird Animals in Chinese

Two friends, Alex and Jamie, are chatting in a park.

Alex: Hey Jamie, did you hear about the surprise party tonight?

Jamie: No, I haven’t. Are you serious?

Alex: Absolutely! And don't worry, I'm just pulling your leg about the party details.

Jamie: (Looking confused) Wait, what do you mean by "pulling your leg"? Are you actually grabbing my leg?

Alex: (Laughs) No, no! "Pulling your leg" is an idiom. It means I'm just joking or teasing you. I'm not doing anything physical at all.

Jamie: Oh, I see! I thought you meant something literal.

Alex: I can understand the confusion. English idioms can be tricky. "Pulling your leg" simply means I'm kidding.

Jamie: Honestly, I always have a hard time understanding or remembering idioms. How do you do it so easily?

Alex: Well, Mrs. Smith on italki taught me all the tips and tricks for mastering them.

Jamie: Really? How do I get her to teach me too?

Alex: It's super simple, just click her picture on italki and book a lesson.

Jamie: Wow, so simple! I've just booked my lesson. I can't wait to finally get the hang of these idioms.
