Feelings and Emotions. Mis alumnos siempre dicen que no saben suficiente vocabulario y que terminan usando las mismas. Por eso mismo he creado Vocab Rehab. En esta sesión, B2 C1 C2 English Vocabulary veamos diferentes maneras de hablar de los sentimientos y emotiones. Así que cuando alguien te pregunta, ‘How are you doing?’ no tienes que contestar con ‘ok’.
