!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Symphony in Slang. PRACTISING IDIOMS WHILE LAUGHING.
It's an animation in which a man tries to tell his life's story but uses so many idioms that St. Peter can't figure out what he's talking about. Passing him on to Mr. Webster, (of dictionary fame,) he tells his story but is interpreted literally.
It's a hilarious little video great for talking about idioms. It's really best for high level students as it goes quite fast. There are also a few idioms that are a bit out of date and not used any more.
