Re:Idioms
Hi Matias!
That someone is sad
They are "blue", "down" or "down in the mouth"
That something or someone is useless
They are "as useless as 'tits' on a boar" (crude)
someone fell in love
they "fell for" someone, they "lell in fove", they are "taken", "smitten", "have a crush on (somebody)"
More later!

You are not alone. :-)
Even if the arrangement were tolerable and the circumstances even remotely fit for listening to music, it will probably be interrupted with the shopkeepers' cheerful announcement of their oh-so-cheap products.

"Dinner thinner"
Does anyone know what a "dinner thinner" is? I assume a snack or kind of snack? Which countries is it used in?

Re:To drop
Yes, that makes sense. In that case, it could be a shorter way of saying "I dropped out of it." A more general answer for the phrase "to drop" I guess could be talking about something you quit doing. For example "I dropped it like a bad habit"

Re:To drop
Perfecto, Vale! I understand perfectly. It means that you began a course in English at one time, you stayed in the course for several weeks, but that for some reason you stopped after that.
