For all the richness of the English language there are some nuances that other languages capture much better. Whether it's a phrase that beautifully articulates a feeling, a wonderfully understated insult that just hits the spot, or a curious idiom...
- Ever waited fifteen minutes for a car-parking space only for someone to nick in front of you, smirking as they park up and stroll past? That idiot has a Backpfeifengesicht – a face badly in need of a slap.

From the melancholic to the funny to the downright peculiar the author takes us on a fascinating journey around Europe in 12 languages celebrating our cultural similarities and differences along the way.
