Funny "DOG" sayings:

"Every dog has its day"
Said to emphasize that everyone is successful or happy at some time in their life. Even the lowliest will sometimes come to the fore.

Example
"They may not listen to me now, but just wait, every dog has its day."


"Why keep a dog and bark yourself?"
Said when you want to know why someone would do something himself or herself when that person already pays someone else to do it
Don't do a chore that should be done by someone you hired to do it.


"You can't teach an old dog new tricks"
Said to mean that it is very difficult to teach someone new skills or to change someone's habits or character.
Getting people to change their habits or acquire new skills is impossible.

Thanks for the tips. I would also like to point out that if you watch movies or tv shows or read novels that are in English, you can easily pick up a couple of idiomatic phrases there which in turn, you can imitate as you converse in everyday life.

One of the most interesting things I find about learning language is learning how to use colloquial terms another is contractions. You should always focus on learnin communicative language communicative language is the language that is used by every day people. Usually people will not say lavatory, instead they will say loo or toilet.   Leaning a word "lavatory" is good, but you must know it is better to use loo.

The idea is great but still needs to be improved. I also would like to create a mobile linguistic app but cant find a good developer.Can you please recommend any?

I am looking for a freelancer or a company with many positive reviews and an experience in linguistic field. Is it real? What do you think? I read some reviews of Rubygarage (here is the link of their website https://rubygarage.org/services/mobile-app-development)  but still hesitating.
