"MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME"

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME?!

Have you ever heard this before? Do you use it on a regular basis? Most of my students are completely confused by this expression. It is very useful in a business context and it is something that you are likely to hear if you are going for an interview in the UK.

The meaning in Spanish is: "ponte comodo". So, when you go for your interview the receptionist might show you the meeting room and say: "Make yourself at home!". A very common expression!

Hope that helps!
