This page presents a detailed compilation of 27 advanced Spanish idiomatic expressions alongside their English translations. These expresiones españolas modernas are essential for mastering C1 español and are frequently featured in DELE C1 vocabulario PDF resources.
The list begins with "Es una lastima que haya" (It's a shame that there is) and covers a variety of useful phrases such as "Tener prisa" (To be in a hurry) and "Tener sangre azul" (To be born with a silver spoon). These expressions are crucial for learners aiming to sound more natural and fluent in Spanish conversations.
Vocabulary: "Tener sangre azul" literally translates to "to have blue blood" but idiomatically means "to be born into nobility or wealth."
Some of the expresiones españolas graciosas included are "Tomar el pelo" (To pull someone's leg) and "Dormir a pierna suelta" (To sleep like a log), which add color and humor to everyday speech.
Example: "No me tomes el pelo" means "Don't pull my leg" or "Don't kid me," used when someone thinks they're being teased or tricked.
The list also includes practical phrases for discussing financial situations, such as "Estar sin blanca" (To have no money) and "Cuesta un ojo de la cara" (It costs an arm and a leg).
Highlight: These financial idioms are particularly useful for students discussing economic topics in Spanish exams or real-life situations.
Several expressions relate to personal desires and experiences, like "Siempre he soñado" (I've always dreamed) and "Trabajo como un burro" (I work my socks off), which are valuable for expressing oneself in more nuanced ways.
Definition: "Trabajo como un burro" literally means "I work like a donkey," emphasizing hard work and dedication.
The document also includes frases españolas para saludar and transition phrases such as "O sea" (in other words) and "Por lo tanto solo" (therefore I only), which are essential for constructing coherent and flowing speech or writing.
Quote: "Ojalá pudiera" (I wish I could) is a powerful phrase for expressing desires or regrets in Spanish.
Lastly, the list covers expressions for describing recent events and situations, like "Hace poco" (Not so long ago) and "Ha sido una semana loca" (It has been a crazy week), which are useful for casual conversation and storytelling.
This comprehensive list serves as an excellent resource for students preparing for advanced Spanish exams, travelers looking to enhance their conversational skills, and anyone interested in delving deeper into the richness of the Spanish language.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
