Good Bye!

Last week was my last week with you and I'm sorry I had to leave you :-( It's been a pleasure having you all as my students this year and I wish you a very good and successful English course!

As a way of saying goodbye (for now), here you have a very interesting video on how Internet has influenced the way we communicate and how this has also influenced the English language.


Best wishes to all of you and Merry Christmas!

From Black Friday to Cyber Monday

As you all know last week Thanksgiving was celebrated all over the United States. Traditionally, the day right after this Thursday in November is the so-called Black Friday, the day in which shops all over the country offer great discounts and therefore make big money, no doubt about it! Don't you think it's crazy? Take a look!


To find out more about this day, you can do this nice listening exercise and you can chose to do some exercises (vocabulary, cloze text, a dictation...).

But let's not leave it just there. We haven't recovered from last Friday's shopping yet and we have ahead of us the world-famous Cyber Monday! The idea of creating such a day was invented in year 2005 and was meant to promote online shopping. Since then it's celebrated the Monday after Thanksgiving.


No Class on Monday!

Hi everyone! Remember we won't be having any lessons at the Casa de las Lenguas on Monday 25th, since we'll be celebrating Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a University holiday.

I'll see you all back in class on Wednesday! :-)
