Comparing between English and Spanish idioms BBC-Learning English

This is a video response for “The Theacher” the most “interesting” and “inteligent” man in England. He teaches English idioms in a very funny way.
There are about more than 2000 idioms, so I really hate them, regarless they are very funny. 1/6 of all idioms have the same literal and metaphoric meaning in Spanish words. It really caught my eye, but I am wondering how come it happens.

    Way to go, Dear Fellow! I would like to thank you from for your effort. It was extremely helpful and I surely took advantage of it. By the way… I’m interested in learning Spanish. Would it be a crime if I asked you for a conversation in this language (skype)?
