Does where have an accent
What to do if you come across a saying in English that you don’t know? You must remember that the meaning of a saying is rarely the sum of its parts, but rather a new idiomatic meaning or a new sense results from that combination. In fact, even when the reader does not know the expression, he or she usually detects that it alludes to a popular saying or phrase.
But if you are one of those who think that it is better to use a foreign phrase when it is already made, here is a selection of some of the most widespread and common sayings and idioms in our language and their equivalence in English. Because, you know, «You learn something new every day!» 😉
How to pronounce where
Want to speak English like a native speaker? Knowing how to fluently use the most popular English idioms can be a great help. Idioms are sayings and expressions with meanings that transcend their literal translation. Your ability to understand and use idioms can make all the difference. If you hear a lot of proverbs, idioms and slangs as you pass through English-speaking cities, it’s because they are indeed an important part of the language. You are likely to come across many of them in English literature and songs as well. Since idioms usually do not have a transparent meaning, that is, they do not literally express what they mean, you may need to study some of them in order to ‘feel like a fish in water’ when reading and conversing in English.
Although it may seem like a daunting task, the truth is that incorporating idioms and set phrases can be a lot of fun. In fact, it will help you refresh your command of popular Spanish expressions and you may be able to easily retain their English equivalents.
