Daniel, we also have "Deus ajuda quem cedo madruga", You might know "el chavo del ocho" , this phrase is very famous because of this serie. Thank you.

Preston, We have in portuguese "Nem que a vaca tussa" means the same thing as "when pigs fly". The literal translation would be "neither that cow cough" , funny. haha Thank you for sharing

Hiii it's interesting that we are from different cultures some says are pretty similar. In Colombia we say: Cuesta un ojo de la cara meaning it costs and face's eye El que piensa pierde meaning who thinks, lose El que madruga dios lo ayuda meaning God helps to who wakes up early And also we say Mejor prevenir que lamentar Better safe than sorry

Idioms are always a fun part of learning a language, and they're often very difficult to explain to non-native speakers! I have no idea of the origin of most English idioms, the meaning is just naturally understood for native speakers. Some of my favorites in English are: 1) "When pigs fly"- It means that whatever you're talking about will never happen. 2) "Pardon my French"- This means that you're about to use curse words... I think this one is funny XD 3) "As cool as a cucumber"- This means that you're very calm in a hectic situation. I use this all the time!
