¡HOLA  A TODOS!

En el día os traigo algo muy interesante para aprender, como ya os dije, en este canal cada día vamos a aprender ALGO NUEVO Y ALGO SUPER ÚTIL PARA TU APRENDIZAJE.

Como muchos ya sabéis, soy de Panamá, pero hace muuuchos años vivo en España. Algo que sorprendió cuando me mude a España fue la cantidad de expresiones y frases que utilizaban. Estas expresiones me llamaron mucho la atención y me dije, ¡wao! Debo aprenderlas y las aprendí al poco tiempo. Así que, me gustaría compartirlas con todos vosotros. <3 

<<Las expresiones  a continuación solo son "usadas en España" os animo a que escuchéis el Podcast. >>

En la lengua española, sobre todo en el lenguaje oral informal, existen muchas expresiones populares en español que se usan en el día a día. Algunas explicaciones de estas expresiones se pueden adivinar gracias al contexto pero muchas otras son difíciles de descifrar. A continuación escucharemos  algunos de estos dichos y su significado para que podáis usarlos a partir de este momento en vuestras conversaciones de español. 

Gracias por leerme querido/a estudiante. 
¡Te veo muy pronto!


I SPEAK SPANISH WHAT'S YOUR SUPERPOWER?

Expresiones populares en español ¡Conozcamos las expresiones españolas más conocidas! 

In this story, an elephant named Eleven does whatever it takes to maintain peace, even using violence. This is Part 4 of 5. 

As Eleven watched the thieves creep forward, he considered what course of action to take. He could tell the monkeys about the thieves, possibly causing a physical fight to break out. Or he could stop the thieves himself, either scaring them off with his roar or his powerful tusks. Either way, conflict was unavoidable. 

Peace was Eleven’s his highest value. If anything attempted to disrupt it, he made sure to remove it from his life. He saw himself as a protector of peace. It never occurred to him that he might have been actually afraid of healthy conflict.
 
So, believing there to be no ethical dilemma, Eleven decided to conceal the thieves’ robbery. This way the thieves would get what they want, the monkeys would only realize after the fact, and, most importantly, Eleven could get back to his relaxing day in the sun.  

Eleven positioned himself in such a way as to block any view of the robbery. The fox and wild chicken snatched the bananas and made their way for the bushes. However, at that exact moment, one of the monkeys, having climbed up a tree and swung itself into the river, was flying through the air and saw the robbery. 

Splashing into the river, the monkey screamed and shrieked, trying its best to alert the others. But they were too busy slapping each other to notice anything.
 
In an instant, without giving the moment proper reflection, only thinking about his own interests and his self-appointed duty, Eleven forcefully swung his trunk and whacked the shrieking monkey, who flew with great speed into the dense forest and out of sight.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上次我们介绍了一些带有动物的成语，今天我们再来学习四个吧。
第一个是如鱼得水。它的意思是：像鱼得到水一样。所以这个成语可以用来形容一个人得到跟自己十分投合的人或对自己很合适的环境。例如，经理最近找到一位新助理，两个人配合得很好，他感觉如鱼得水。也可以说：丰富的教学经验让他在新工作上如鱼得水。
第二个是笨鸟先飞。它的意思是：行动笨拙的鸟要先飞起来。所以这个成语可以用来形容：能力差的人要比别人更努力，才不会落后。例如，我没有别人聪明，所以我要更加努力，笨鸟先飞。
第三个是一石二鸟。它的意思是：一块石头扔出去打中两只鸟。所以这个成语可以用来形容：做一件事情得到两种好处。例如，他做了一笔生意，不但赚了钱，还交了一个朋友，真是一石二鸟。
最后一个是鸟语花香。它的意思是：鸟叫得很好听，花开得很香。所以这个成语可以用来形容美丽的自然风景。例如，春天到了,花园里鸟语花香。
你还知道哪些成语呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
