“Don’t worry”用中文怎么说？——Improve Chinese with movie clips

Nivel B1 B Tema: Verbos con preposiciones. Las preposiciones agregan mucho significado a las oraciones. Más allá del verbo. Tenemos que aprenderlas al mismo tiempo que avanzamos... con los verbos.... claro!!. Hoy comparto algunos ejemplos para integrar las preposiciones a la rutina de estudio y a la conversación. El primer verbo del que quiero hablar es LLORAR porque es muy común decir LLORAR DE RISA :D!
Gracias por sus preguntas y por compartir este audio, que es el primero de una serie para este tema.
Nos vemos en clase, en Italki, por supuesto. 😊 Rocío.
