Spanish has many expressions with the words «marchar» and «marcha». If you live Spain, or often visit the country, you must have heard a waiter say this in a bar: «¡Marchando!». It means the waiter is going to bring your order right away, or is going to get to work right away, like switching on a machine. In conversation with native speakers, you’ll understand and be able to participate more if you know some of the expressions we explain in this mini-lesson.You can learn more expressions with «marchar» and «marcha» in our blog.
