5 Amazing Conversational Spanish Idioms
¡Hola amigos!
Hey, Julio here with some amazing conversational expressions today!
When I was learning English, the one thing that spiced up my language more than anything else was… expressions.
Yes, those everyday expressions that native speakers use all the time but crucially, don't translate word for word. And that makes them sound VERY impressive to native speakers. You want to impress those you talk to, right? Well stick around! And hit play on the audio below:

A ojo de buen cubero… roughly speaking, at a guess, guessing
Eres una caja de sorpresas... You are full of surprises
Peor es nada… It's better than nothing
Anda a las mil maravillas… someone is doing great / something is working like a charm
Llueva o truene… come hell or high water, rain or shine
And now a quick context so you can remember it more easily!
Listening Comprehension Challenge: Listen to the sentences and try to understand them without looking at the text. Once you have a good idea, read the Spanish transcript and try to translate those sentences into English. After that check out the translations to check if you were right or not.

Hola! Muchas gracias por las lecciones! Do you have any that talks about different ways to say, "goodbye," or "have a nice day!" I have grown weary of saying, "Hasta luego!" "Ten cuidado!" or "Adios!"
Gracias!
Hola Riech, thanks for your nice words. Thanks for your suggestion. I think that will be an amazing topic for one of the upcoming newsletters! Best of luck Computer Lady! 🙂
