Idiomatic Expression

As an English learner, I really love learning idiomatic expression, it's so crazy to see how crazy are those expression and most of the time it doesn't make sense at all when we translate it word to word.

Pronouncing VS Writting

I don't know about English but in Portuguese is common even a native speaker to come across with a new word, but since Portuguese is a syllable-timed language most of the times easier to know how to write a word just listening to someone saying it, but in English I imagine that it's not that easy because there are a lot of homophones, and words that are written completely different the way its spoken, it kind of makes impossible to write a word without knowing previously, just like: threw, through, right, write

Narcos What's up? I'd like to talk about Narcos. In this last week I had finished the thrid season. I'm a really impressed about that serie, that was a such great serie, really. I have to admit I missed Wagner Moura in that season, cause he was great in first and second season, but there was other great actors too. On and off, when I was watching it, I used to stop that to looking for the real characters. In that season, he talked about Callí Cartel, one of the biggest Cocaine producers of the world. It's so hard to believe that everything told is really. I'm kind of sad, cause I have to wait until next year to see fourth season, but I think it will worth. You otta see that serie. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the next season of Stranger Things, I love it too.
