Happy Christmas!

Sorry we didn't have time to listen to this song with your group, Intermediate 1 B! You can watch the beautiful videoclip and listen to the song now.



This is my way to wish you all, HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Coldplay, what else? 



Thank you for the cake, Tatiana! It was delicious and really nice of you!!! 

The Picture of Dorian Gray: Reading Intermediate 1

Hello everybody!

We are going to read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde in class. 

It's a masterpiece that I hope you enjoy as much as I did the first time I read it!




Promise me that you'll read the original book by Oscar Wilde (not the adapted version) when you are in Advanced 2. 

I'm certain that you will enjoy it!

Colloquial English

Hello everyone!

Did you know that one of the most difficult things to translate are colloquial sayings? That's because we don't always have an equivalent in our mother tongue.

Your course mate Nora has shared this link with us and it's really interesting! Have a look!




In Spanish we would have: "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"

Thank you, Nora!
