I am a secondary teacher of English in Southern Spain. I studied MFL in Jaén and I got a DPSI certificate in Law in England. I started my teaching career in Newcastle back in 2000, where I lived for 3 years. Once I returned home, I taught in a public school and got ready to sit the "oposiciones" exam, which I passed!!! Currently, I am teaching in Spain, which has become my definite residence in since 2004.

"Tener frito(a) a alguien" = To have someone fried*

To get on someone's nerves. To be a pain for somebody.



Este niño me tiene frita. ¡Qué pesado!
Los dos hermanos tienen fritos a los padres.
Los mosquitos me tienen frito.
NOTE: "FRITO" on its own and depending in the context can also mean:
1) Asleep --> "Se quedó frito veindo la película" (fig. and fam.)
2) Dead --> "En la película, el protagonista muere frito a balazos" (fig. and fam.)
