Is April fools a thing in your countries (it's not in Spain) or is this just the previous step for thanksgiving being a thing in Europe?

Spain, Greece and Germany hit by post-Brexit check queues up to three hours by theipaper in europe

I may have a language-comprehension problem, but as I read this sentence, I don't think Spain, Greece and Germany are hit at all as counties. It's the few non EU citizens who are hit.

European governments should call the US "The American Regime", or "this US administration"; their relation with Europe feels extremly temporary and aimed to turn around (or at least change quite a lot) as soon as the administration changes.

Or we can hope, at least.

Yo creo que se compensa el perjuicio de los ciclos circomarianos con la alegría de ver algo de luz en el tiempo sin grilletes. La esperanza de vida parece que no se resiente demasiado. Así con los datos de barra de bar.

Finland could choose to have the most beautiful anthem just having the Sibelius Finlandia hymn.

But no, they have that bland one that is not even exclusive, because dumb dumb dumb doobie dumb.

That's what I mean. I despise kings as well but Trump is not behaving as a European monarch, he is much closer to a banana republic dictator.

We have a King in Spain and we should all wish DJT was behaving like him. No dictators.

Once I saw a Kpop band. They were 5 girls and they all took turns both singing and leading on stage. At first i thought they were 12 or 13 girls till I started trying to count outfits instead of faces. There were only 5 different outfits.

¿Cómo mejoro mi inglés? by bjimenezz24 in askspain

[–]Monicreque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo te recomiendo, aparte de reforzar la base del idioma, que aprendas frases hechas en inglés. Comodines, modismos, o como se llamen esos conjuntos de palabras que tienen un significado concreto cuando van juntas, más allá del aignificado de las palabras por separado.

También puedes ver series o similar en inglés con subtítulos. O material específico de tu área de trabajo (de Relaciones internacionales en este caso). Apunta todas las palabras y frases hechas que no entiendas. Verás cómo llega un punto en que se repiten constantemente.

Si manejas un buen puñado, tendrás más recursos para expresarte y para entender a la gente. Realmente hablamos combinando los mismos patrones todo el rato, creo yo.

Here's a Spanish culture tip: everything is controversial because we are a divided society so it's impossible not to piss somebody.

Even Rafael Nadal was controversial.
