I will give you 4 words, honestly, only 4 words, which will make you sound more natural instantly. They are words all my students know, but never use!!

Sometimes trying to replace simple vocabulary has the opposite effect of sounding natural :) Stick to the basics!

Animais de estimação

En el episodio de esta semana te voy a enseñar algunas frases que puedes empezar a usar en tus conversaciones y que van a aumentar tu nivel inmediatamente. 

Esta semana aprendemos algunos modismos, que son expresiones que tienes que aprender como son y las situaciones en las que necesitas usarlas porque si las analizas e intentas traducir su significado palabra por palabra no tienen ningún sentido. Para ello vamos a ver situaciones o cosas que estoy segura de que sabes cómo expresarlas, pero vamos a ir un poquito más lejos, y te voy a decir qué dirían los españoles en esas situaciones.

Como siempre espero que disfrutes el episodio. Después de escucharlo no te olvides de darle una valoración y de decirme qué te parecen las frases que comparto contigo y si las habías escuchado antes.

¡Espero tus comentarios!
