Translating Italian and Italian idioms when learning Italian


I am learning Italian with a free website, Duolingo. They email me every day. (I'm also learning Spanish and German daily and Russian sometimes.)

After you complete a few exercises you gain a bonus, a lesson translating idioms. Unfortunately they give you the literal translation but expect you to guess the English equivalent proverb or saying.

So I go onto the internet and look around. Up pop some other sites. For example:
