#Expressions

When learning a new language, there are so many new expressions that are usually tied to the culture behind the language.

Llevarse como el perro y el gato no tiene nada que ver con "to take". El verbo "llevar" tiene varios significados y aquí lo estamos usando como "llevarse" como verbo recíproco. Te lo explico ahora. Gramaticalmente es una expresión un poco más complicada pero solo tienes que entenderla y aprenderla para poder usarla correctamente ;)

The word mind appears in lots of useful English expressions, many of which have nothing to do with the brain itself. We use them to talk about decisions, opinions, worries, understanding, and things we suddenly think of. Today let's take a look at some common phrases with mind that you’re likely to hear in everyday English. If you make up your mind (about something), you make a decision about it. We often use this expression when someone has been thinking about something for a while and finally decides what to do: "Have you made up your mind about where you want to go on holiday?" If you are in two minds (about something), you are unable to decide because you have good reasons for and against something. This expression is particularly common in British English: "I'm in two minds about moving to another city. I'd love the change, but I'd miss my friends." Sometimes, however, it's not a decision that is difficult - it's understanding something. If you can't wrap your mind around something, you can't understand or accept it because it is difficult or confusing. You can also say wrap your head around something: "I just can't wrap my mind around how they managed to finish the project so quickly." Something can also cross your mind. If an idea, thought, or possibility crosses your mind, you think of it, often only briefly: "It crossed my mind that she might have forgotten about the meeting." Finally, remember that mind doesn't always have to refer to a person's thoughts. We can also say that something has a mind of its own when it seems to behave or move independently, as though it can make its own decisions. We often use this humorously about objects or machines that aren't behaving as we expect: "My computer seems to have a mind of its own today." Which of these expressions do you use already? And is there another expression with 'mind' that you often hear in English?

¡Feliz sábado! 🎉 Hoy os traigo una palabra perfecta para estos días: planazo. Es un "plan" pero con el aumentativo -azo, que en español sirve para decir que algo es genial, increíble. Un planazo es un plan buenísimo, algo que no te quieres perder. Ejemplo: "Cena con amigos y luego concierto, ¡menudo planazo para esta noche!" 🎶 En inglés dirías algo como "an awesome plan" o "a great idea for tonight", pero necesitas un adjetivo aparte — en español basta con cambiar la terminación de la palabra para meterle toda esa emoción. ¿Tenéis algún planazo para hoy o toca sofá y manta? 😄
