¡Hola! Hoy aprenderemos algunos ''IDIOMS'' o modismos en inglés, los cuales nos ayudaran a expresarnos mejor y sonar como nativos :)
- What is an IDIOM?
An idiom is a group of words with a figurative, non-literal meaning which can't be deciphered by looking at its individual words.
Un modismo es un grupo de palabras figurativas, con significado no literario las cuales no pueden ser descifradas con solo ver sus palabras individuales.
