Newsletter: Ser la leche & Spanish Idioms for Fluency

 Ser la leche and other idioms

Let’s focus on Spanish idioms this week. Spanish idioms can make your conversations come alive! This week, we’re diving into a versatile expression, and for this we’re using our new space called ¿Conoces esta expresión? 🙋

I also have a fun reading and listening activity packed with idioms, built around two siblings who get on like a house on fire. It’s full of natural, everyday expressions.
