Autora: Verónica Amaro Bermejo

Welcome to our section, would you like to have a conversation with English people if you were an expert in the language? Well, this month I want to show you some WhatsApp expressions most usual in England

I want you learn some English abbreviations useful to you can communicate on social networks (facebook, instagram, WhatsApp, twitter…) easily.

The abbreviations have always existed as ASAP (as soon as possible) or the typical XOXO (hugs & kisses) that we usually learn to say good-bye in the letters. However ever since apps as WhatsApp appeared, these abbreviations have been brought in our society to speed up the communication and to save time.

Here you can see some of this very common

u	you	Tú/te/ a ti
ur	your	Tuyo/ tu (s)/ posesivo
wanna	Want to	Querer/ ¿quieres ir? (wanna go?)
XX/XOXO	kisses and hugs	Besos y abrazos
y	why	¿Por qué?
Yep/yup	yes	Sí

I hope you enjoy this article. “C u soon, XOXO”.

Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is primarily made from minced lamb and potatoes. Many families will make this dish using beef, but then it should actually be referred to as Cottage Pie, as shepherds only herd sheep (duh).

Beef Wellington is a fillet of steak coated in patê and then rolled in pastry. Although the dish shares its name with the famous Duke of Wellington, it actually shares no link with the British nobility. In reality, it is thought that Beef Wellington was based around the French dish filet de bœuf en croûte (fillet of beef in pastry).

Beef Wellington is served in posh pubs and restaurants up and down the country.

In addition, many phrasal verbs are polysemous i.e., they have more than one meaning. There are also difficulties with the grammar of phrasal verbs, particularly with the position of the particles, in that some phrasal verbs are ‘separable’ (the particle can be moved), while some are ‘inseparable.’ Quite apart from all this, there are literally thousands of them
