‘Al final de Agosto’ is not ‘finals of August’.

This is one is another typical mistake Spanish speakers tend to make when talking about end of the year, month of week. So the right way to say this will be at the end + month, year , or week. For Example: When someone asks you when do you go back to work ? The answer will be: I am going back at the end of this week.

En Inglés no se puede decir "changing the theme"

The right word to say "theme" in English is by using the words "topic" or "subject". When you are in an uncomfortable situation and you just want to steer the conversation in a new direction the way to say is " let´s changing topic (or changing the subject) because I don't want to talk about it" but you can never say let's change the theme. The word "theme" refers to your computer "theme" or mobile "theme". Remember that!

Image now you are in a meeting and you simply want to move on to another subject the way to say it will be "let´s us move on to another matter , or moving on to another subject".

How to say "quedar con amigos" in English.

Most of my students tend to get this phrase wrong and translate it to "stay with friends". it is really common in Spain to get together 2 or 3 times a week, go for tapas or simply enjoy a cup of coffee. The right way to say it using the verb hang out , or meet up with friends.

Let us see an example.  "Last night I stayed with friends and had some tapas". This sounds more like you stayed in another place , like a hotel with friends. The right way to say it will be "Last night I hanged out/met up with friends and had some tapas".

"Hoy estas muy rara en Inglés"

The first time that I have heard this sentence a student of mine said:

Student: My boss is strange.
Me: Why?  What is he like ?
Student: He didn't greet anyone today.

I knew that something didn't sound quite right. After chatting for a while I realized that what he meant is that his boss was acting strange that day.  By adding the verb act, you make it clear that it is just today and it is not something related to his personality. So the best way to say this sentence is " Today you have been acting strange/strangely/weird/odd.
