Coffee Break Spanish

Spanish speakers love a good exaggeration, and these colourful expressions are a great way to sound more natural in conversation. In this episode, Anabel introduces five everyday phrases that add drama and personality to your Spanish: hace un frío que pela, hace siglos que no nos vemos, tener tanta hambre que te comerías un caballo, ser más largo que un día sin pan and estar más solo que la una. You'll learn what they mean, how Spanish speakers use them, and how to work them into your own Spanish to sound more authentic and expressive.
