Description

The other day I found an article online about expressions in English and their crazy origins. I thought I'd share 5 of them with you and hopefully you find these origins as interesting as I did. The expressions that we'll take a look at in this episode are to bite the bullet / to break the ice / to butter someone up / to go the whole nine yards / to rub the wrong way. You might know some of these, but I bet their origins will surprise you.Expressions are a super important part of language learning because they allow us to speak naturally and communicate efficiently. This episode will also teach you how to use these different expressions in the context of your day-to-day life.  Hope you enjoy this episode of English with Dane!SUPPORT the showFULL TRANSCRIPTSFollow me on Instagram & TikTokSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/englishwithdane)

¿Hablas español y quieres mejorar tu inglés? Then English with Dane is perfect for you. De verdad, si te sientes estancado/a con el inglés... o si simplemente quieres "mantener forma"... try this podcast. Hablo a un ritmo tranquilo y voy traduciendo cosas para que no te estreses con entender todo. I talk about things like movies, news, sports, music, history, etc, and I always pay special attention to practical vocabulary, expressions and the infinite nuances (sutilezas) that we'll find along the way. Prueba y me cuentas. ¡Ah! Y lo mejor es que además hay transcripciones completas de cada capítulo para que no te pierdas anything! (Ahí tiene que ir "anything" porque no puede haber un "double negative" en inglés!) ✌️
