Your Spanish Journey

Extensive reading: short stories to enjoy. 

En este episodio les estaré contando sobre otra situación de violencia que se vivió hace unos días en la estación de tren "Flores" de la Línea de Trenes "Sarmiento". Este es un tren que empieza en el centro de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y termina en el Oeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. ¡Ojo! Ciudad y Provincia de Bs. As. son como dos mundos diferentes, ya les contaré al respecto. Por suerte, ¡todo salió bien!

Hola, Hola, Camila desde Buenos Aires con un podcast para los viajeros y las viajeras!

Quiero hablar del reto de COMER LEJOS DE CASA.
Se que muchos de ustedes deben pensar "¿el reto?" "me encanta probar comida de otros países". Y si, entiendo eso, y a mi también me gusta. Pero ahora quiero que imaginen que por tres o cuatro meses no pueden comer comida de casa... nada, no hay en el lugar donde están, no encuentran, y lo poco que encuentran masomenos similar, no es realmente igual, ¿cómo se sentirían?

Analicemos un poco lo que representa la "comida de casa".

Te invito a explorar este podcast conmigo, y a ENTRENAR TU ESPAÑOL JUNTOS!

"Hablemos de Viajar" --- y la idea de "Comer lejos de casa"

If you’ve listened to my previous podcasts, you’ll know that want to score a band score 7 in your IELTS Speaking exam, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

We all know the idiom ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’ because this is a common idiom. But what are some less common idioms?

This podcast will give you 3 more idioms for you to learn, which you can use in your IELTS Speaking exam.

Preparing for exams can be a double-edged sword. This is because examiners don’t want you to memorise and repeat your answers from memory. However, using idioms can get you a higher band score. So how do we balance this? Idioms have to be memorised, because they have to be spoken exactly. We cannot change them. For example, you cannot say ‘my parents punched the roof’, you have to say my parents ‘hit the roof.’

Another tip for using idioms is not to put all your eggs in one basket. Make sure you are armed with a variety of different idioms in your memory bank. If you only know one idiom, for example ‘think outside the box’ you have to hope your part 2 speaking exam is a suitable topic for the idiom.

You can, of course, use idioms in parts  1 and 3, but part 2 is the easiest place to slot in a few idioms, because you have 1 minute to prepare.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me, so you can practise using idioms, and get the band score you are aiming for.
