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.

Путешествие по Транссибу

Los idiomas están vivos, y son capaces de adaptarse a las diferentes épocas. Eso hace que muchas palabras se dejen de usar, cambien su significado para hacer referencia a algo más específico y/o relevante, y otras veces da lugar a que se creen nuevas palabras debido a la necesidad de nombrar conceptos o cosas nuevas. 

En este episodio hablo de palabras que, según un artículo que la mayoría de los jóvenes no entendería, ya que son de uso cada vez menos común, a pesar de que yo conozca, e incluso use, muchas de ellas. ¿Quieres saber de que palabras te hablo?

Después de escuchar el episodio no te olvides de pasarte por mi Instagram y decirme que te ha parecido, y…. si tú habías escuchado alguna de las palabras que menciono.
