Sobre los diálogos e idioms

En los diálogos vas a encontrar expresiones idiomáticas. Si no las conoces, pueden sonar extrañas, hasta forzadas, y es normal: así son este tipo de frases. Es como cuando le dices a alguien "está lloviendo a cántaros" o "suelta la sopa" y no las conoce, le suenan rarísimas. En inglés pasa igual: "How are you?" es tan válido como "How's it going?", o decir "gig" en vez de "job", o "flying solo" en vez de "single".

Las incluimos para que las conozcas; usarlas o no depende de ti y del contexto. Lo importante es que sepas qué significan cuando te las encuentres. En las secciones Culture and Idioms y Expressions and Idioms encontrarás el significado de cada una.

MalcolmOh, sorry about that. I wasn't home. I was on a trip.

PeterNo way! Where did you go?

MalcolmI went to New York. Had to do some work stuff, but I also did a ton of sightseeing.

PeterThat's awesome! How was it?

MalcolmHonestly, it was pretty epic. I was busy with work from Wednesday to Friday, but the weekend was all mine.

PeterWhat did you do?

MalcolmI hit up Chinatown and had some amazing dumplings. Then I went to the Empire State Building and took a bunch of pics for the 'gram. Oh, and I finally saw the Statue of Liberty up close!

PeterThat sounds lit! Did you get any souvenirs?

MalcolmYeah, I went a little crazy at Macy's. Bought way too much stuff, if I'm being honest.

PeterHaha, classic. When did you get back?

MalcolmI flew back on Monday. But I was totally jet-lagged.

PeterOh, that explains it. I called you around 4 PM and no answer.

MalcolmYeah, I was home, but I was in the shower. I heard my phone buzzing but couldn't get to it. Did you leave a voicemail?

EmilyIt was a total adventure. I flew between countries, took some boats, and did a lot of road trips. I saw deserts, jungles, islands --- you name it.

JohanI'm so jealous! That sounds like a dream.

EmilyHonestly, it was amazing, but I got so tired of eating out and staying in hotels. I really missed my own bed.

JohanCome on, really? I don't buy it. You're living the dream!

EmilyI'm serious! I guess I'm just not cut out for long-term travel. I need my routines.

JohanI get it. I wasn't used to flying either, but after a while, you just get used to it.

EmilyMaybe, but I missed home. You know what they say --- east or west, home is best!
