When your car stops working, it’s not just having a bad day; it’s had a "breakdown"

But hey, it happens to people too! When you’re totally stressed out

and start crying in the grocery store because they’re out of your favourite ice cream flavour
that’s a "breakdown" too!

But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Whether it’s your car or your emotions, just remember:

we all break down sometimes. But please, try not to do it over ice cream flavour .

See you next time, hopefully in one piece!

乌鸦喝水

En el episodio de esta semana te voy a enseñar diferentes maneras en las que podemos expresar sentimientos en español. Las formas que vas a aprender en este episodio son un poquito más avanzadas que las típicas, “estoy contenta”, “estoy muy triste”.... Y te van a ayudar a subir el nivel de tus conversaciones en español.

Espero, como siempre, que disfrutes el episodio. Después de escucharlo, me harías un gran favor si dejaras una valoración al podcast en la plataforma desde donde lo escuchas.
