En este episodio te enseñaré expresiones coloquiales con el verbo "morir" como "me muero de ganas por conocerte", "estoy muerta de calor" ... 
Los españoles utilizamos mucho lenguaje coloquial y puede resultar difícil entendernos cuando usamos algunas palabras fuera del contexto habitual y con un significado totalmente diferente.
También, me gustaría que aprendieras un poco sobre el tono y la melodía que usamos junto con las palabras.
Si quieres la transcripción del episodio puedes escribirme y te la enviaré. ¡Muchas gracias por escuchar español!

Bienvenidos una vez más a este podcast donde poco a poco conoceremos Yucatán, la tierra donde nací y crecí, esto mientras practicamos español.
Hoy les voy a platicar de la Catedral de Mérida.
La Catedral de Mérida o Catedral de San Ildefonso fue construida en 1562 sobre las ruinas mayas de T’ho en el centro de la ciudad de Mérida, la construyeron los mayas bajo las órdenes de los españoles.
Para construirla, ellos utilizaron piedras de un templo maya.
En el frente diseñaron un escudo de armas que contuvo símbolos españoles, lamentablemente, durante la guerra de independencia, los revolucionarios destruyeron parcialmente este escudo como reflejo de un sentido antiespañol.
En la entrada, pusieron las estatuas de San Pedro y San Pablo, esta catedral es considerada la más antigua de México.
Por dentro es majestuosa, con una gran cúpula. En 1967, el pintor y escultor español Ramón Lapeyese del Río construyó un cristo de madera que mide 7.5 metros y descansa sobre una cruz de 12 metros de alto, obra que llamaron el “Cristo de la Unidad”  
Por las noches es iluminada resaltando su belleza arquitectónica e histórica.
Cuando visites Mérida, te recomiendo que visites esta obra tan hermosa ubicada en el centro histórico de la Ciudad.
