 Merry Idioms Advent Calendar
Instructions
Cada Christmas biscuit contiene un idiom o expresión algo más avanzada para que te lleves 24

phrases nuevas que usar en tus writings y everyday English. Ponlo en la nevera, valiente.

Cada día de diciembre céntrate solamente en el idiom correspondiente al día del mes.

En el tiny workbook encontrarás el significado del idiom, pero debes buscar su galleta (están
numeradas) para completarlo. Te dejo un ejemplo para que su uso te resulte fácil.

Escribe un par de frases utilizándolo y trata de ponerlo en práctica durante el día. Puedes comentar
en mi Instagram @inglesparaperezosos con tu frase o mandársela a un amigo que también esté
practicando inglés. USE IT OR LOSE IT!

El objetivo es que tras 24 días, hayas acumulado poco a poco todos estos recursos y que seas
capaz, no solo de reconocerlos al hacer un listening, reading o ver una peli, sino de usarlos cuando
los necesites. Son ideales para informal emails, articles and speaking.

Al final del cuaderno tienes un mini challenge para repasar y poner en práctica tus idioms favoritos.
(Si lo imprimes y me mandas foto por Instagram me muero de ilusión)

Gracias por estar en el club, you’re a star!

Y si quieres seguir aprendiendo y de paso apoyar el proyecto,
tienes estos cuatro workbooks digitales en la web
