How to NOT Mess Up Your Chinese Tattoos XD

Have you ever heard the following phrase before: "I have a gut feeling".  How would you describe this feeling? When do we usually use this expression?
This expression is often used to describe an intuitive or instinctive sense or belief about something, even when there may not be concrete evidence or logical reasoning to support it. The feeling is often described as a sensation in the stomach or abdomen, hence the reference to the "gut."
People commonly use this expression when they have a strong sense or intuition about a situation, decision, or person, but they may not be able to articulate specific reasons for their feelings. It's a way of acknowledging and trusting one's instincts or intuition, which can sometimes be influenced by subtle cues or information that may not be consciously recognized.

Here are some useful words and expressions:

1. Curiosity killed the cat : This is an idiom that suggests being too inquisitive or nosy can lead to trouble or unpleasant consequences. It's often used to caution against excessive curiosity.

2.To grip on something: This phrase means to firmly hold onto or grasp something, either physically or metaphorically. It implies a strong and secure hold.

3.To trip: In a physical sense, to trip means to stumble or lose one's balance, often resulting in a brief fall. In a figurative sense, it can also mean to make a mistake or encounter an obstacle.

4. To be surrounded by: This expression indicates that something or someone is positioned all around a particular place or person. It implies being encircled or encompassed from all sides.

5.Hissing sound: A hissing sound is a noise characterized by a prolonged "s" or "h" sound. It is often produced by air or steam escaping through a small opening, or by certain animals as a warning or defensive signal.

En el episodio de esta semana comento algunos verbos que siempre van seguidos de la misma preposición. 

Muchos estudiantes encuentran las preposiciones, o palabras pequeñas, como muchos se refieren a ellas muy díficiles, ¡y lo entiendo! Las preposiciones tienen reglas diferentes en cada idioma y muchas veces no tienen un equivalente exacto que funcione en todas las ocasiones. Por eso espero que este episodio os ayude, ya que los verbos que voy a mencionar hoy siempre usan  la misma preposición. Por lo tanto, mi objetivo es que cuando en el futuro vayáis a usar estros verbos no dudéis, no os tengais que parar a pensar qué preposición usar, os venga directamente a la cabeza. 

Después de escuchar el episodio, no te olvides de dejar una valoración en la plataforma en la que lo has escuchado. Luego pásate por mi instagram y dime si conoces otros verbos en español que siempre van acompañados de la misma preposición.

Si es un tema que te interesa y quieres aprender otros verbos que van seguidos de preposición, no solo la preposición “de”, puedes conseguir el pdf aquí. https://blancadelatorre.kartra.com/page/lTI227
