ME DEFIENDO: meaning and examples

Good morning everyone!

Today we look at our last Spanish phrase and its translation.

Today's Spanish expression is: ME DEFIENDO

Translaton
: to get by

Meaning: to survive with the basics

Example 1:
I don't remember much French from school, but I know enough to get by when I go to France.

Example 2:
Paul: Can you cook, Ian?
Ian: I get by. I can boil an egg, make toast... stuff like that.

Remember that tomorrow we present the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English. We hope these lessons will help you to not only get by with your English, but also attain a solid level!

Have a fantastic day!
