Blog Lengua Inglesa III and IV (Daniel Abellán)

There are lots of body idioms and their meanings are quite interesting; I have chosen some of them: o    Get off my back : We use this expression when someone is criticising you or telling what to do all the time. 'Stop telling me what to do. Get off my back!' o    A finger in every pie: To have a finger in every pie means that you are involved in many activities. `She has a finger in every pie this week, she does not stop doing things´. o    Look down your nose : When you look down your nose at someone you think you are better or more important than them.

Welcome to this new blog! Which is basically a continuation of the previous one but this time with more toil than ever! The topic of this week is language , one of my favourite subjects. I love learning new languages, travelling and meeting new people and cultures so I consider the topic language as fundamental. Spanish is my mother tongue and I consider myself lucky for that since Spanish is hard to learn. I speak English and French too. I have studied and loved English since school so I am always willing to improve it. Also, I have been in a bilingual course of French my entire time in high school so I am good at it too.

Apart from this languages that could seem common, I would love to learn Norwegian or any Scandinavian language because I love that culture. I have watche...
