Peruanismos: using idiomatic expressions to learn English

Post by LosStangeles »

Any Peru natives/aficionados who can suggest good Peruanismos?

I've had decent success using idioms from Central American countries for my teen ESL students here in Los Angeles, and now I'm tutoring a Peruvian college student online.

I've seen a couple of websites with big lists, but you never know how dated those might be....

Thank you for any ideas!

That topic is really hard... I am also working on that for a few weeks and I will be happy if someone can help us.
I will follow this topic for now.

Hi,
I am a native speaker and a teacher of English and ESL. I checked this list of 20 idioms carefully and every one of them is accurate and commonly used. I would definitely make sure a second language learner had a good grasp on these 20 idioms. See the link below:

Hope this helps!
