25th Anniversay of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

This coming Sunday we 'll all be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's Fall. It was such an important day in history that I would like us to remember the history behind the Wall and to commemorate the fall of the so-called Iron Curtain. 

Here we have an easy-to-understand video about the Wall, I hope you like it:

I don't know about you, but I can't think of Berlin's Wall without remembering David Bowie's song Heroes:

Talking to People All Over the World

Do you remember the old times when we used to look for the so-called pen-pals in order to exchange letters and so improve our English? Well, fortunately times have changed quite a bit in that sense and we don't need to spend money on envelopes and stamps anymore. Instead we can just click on the name of the person we would like to talk to and then have a real conversation going.

Here you have a couple of nice links where you can find a community of internet-users willing to practice English with you or just to have a little chat in Spanish. Just browse the webs and see if you find something or someone of your interest!
