http://www.englishpage.com/prepositions/phrasaldictionary.htmlMany thanks for your tagxedos!
As I mentioned in class, using and creating word clouds can help you memorize and revise the vocabulary learnt in each unit.
So far, I've received 2 tagxedos. Now.... remember that you can use any vocabulary or piece of language that you find either difficult or interesting to revise. For instance, try with phrasal verbs, idioms and proverbs, adjectives to express feeling/emotions, etc.
You can also include vocabulary from your student's books or from the graded readers. When you email your tagxedo, please include the unit number and title it makes reference to. Here's an example: unit 1- studies, learning, university, languages; unit 2: present and past habits, food,etc.

Hello
It is perfect to learn vocabulary that you don't know well.
Esta mañana revisando los phrasal verbs de ayer hubo uno que me intrigó un poco. Hold up, esto es, atracar un banco. En un primer momento creí que no tenía lógica para un español (aunque es cierto que muchos phrasal verbs no la tienen y algunos sí).
Pero luego investigando un poco por curiosidad descubrí que este en concreto finalmente sí que tenía su razón de ser. Y es que cuando un atracador dice Manos arriba (Hands up!) en el atraco la gente permanece con las manos arriba todo el tiempo (de ahi tambien el nombre hold-up).
Así queda la frase es un poco graciosa, Hands up, this is a hold up! (¡Manos arriba, esto es un atraco!).
Aquí adjunto un chiste muy gracioso sobre un atraco que contiene varios verbos de acción y phrasal verbs
