I'd like to continue with our discussion of idioms. With this in mind, I have two tasks for you (for those that have time).
1. Find an english idiom (perhaps one that is new to you);
try to find out what it means, and be prepared to explain it to everyone.
2. Read the following text by Richard Lederer
(available at this link): http://www.usingenglish.com/weblog/archives/000429.html
I find the text to be very funny. It light-heartedly
discusses the weird contradictions of the English language. If you have time to
read the text beforehand, do so. Make a note of anything you have
questions about. Together, we will then go through the article to
understand its nuances.
I will also bring several idioms to share (I noticed several
when I was watching an American movie the other day). Feel free to bring
any questions you have about idioms, or even a Spanish idiom or two (provided,
of course, you can translate and explain it in English)!
