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!

Introduction to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

I wrote this crazy anecdote that I lived with my friend Nicolas. In order not to make it longer than it already is, I divided it into 2 parts. This 1st one is about how we went on vacation without knowing that we were not going to return to our destination, thanks to the coronavirus. Cancelled tickets, chaotic airports, and an exotic country .
In the 2nd: how we got a ticket to get out of there, how they didn't want to put us up anywhere and how I ended up in Ezeiza (Argentina's main airport) on top of a bus with people I didn't know.
