Listening skills



Here's your listening section to master your language skills all day long.

How often do you listen to music or any kind of audio in English?


What was the last film you've watched in English?

Are you really doing something for your listening skills? Come on! Be honest with you.

If your answer are never, hardly ever, no film in English or something like that, you're in trouble. Yes, absolutely! Ok, it's time for doing the opposite, don't you think?

How to write in English


I always encourage all my students to drop some lines in English. 

No matter the topic to write about. 

Then, I normally have a look at their writing, which they hand in quite regularly, and I leave a comment and several writing tips for them, together with the necessary corrections. Feedback and results may vary to a greater extent, but I just wonder if they are truly aware of my enormous effort to make them write real English.

Please, leave a comment about your English writing experiences.

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde
These days we're dealing with this reader at school. There'll be a test on reading comprehension and understanding of the plot. However,  rather than reading through these stories by Oscar Wilde, we could analyse some basic literary questions, so that we can understand the main events throughout the different stories more easily and what's even more important: trying to play the main characters' roles and distinguishing their personalities.
