The world of words

I propose to you a new activity about vocabulary. From time to time*1, we are going to post Spanish and English words, sentences, expressions, etc... If you know the meaning, you can help us translate them.

While we are at it*2, if you have a doubt, you can check it in here and your partners and teachers will answer to you.

The method is very easy; we are going to work with certain words and all the expressions related to them. For example: "risa" (morirse de risa, partirse de risa, darme la risa, etc...).

The first word is "risa" (laugh/laughter). How do you say "morirse de risa" in English?

We are waiting for your answers!! Thanks in advance*3.



*1 from time to time: de vez en cuando
*2 while we are at it: de paso
