Ready, steady ... go!

Hello, people! I have been asked for a way to improve your vocabulary. Right, there are several ways to increase your lexicon. Anyway, have a look to the following link where you will find lists of nouns, verbs and adjectives, among others: https://www.aprendemasingles.com/pdfs/ . However, please, bare in mind that this is just a way to start with. To be honest, I am not very keen on learning lists of vocabulary by heart, so you can try some other ways such as reading news and interesting books, listening to the radio or even watching films, docummentaries or contests on TV. If you do so, you can even create your own lists of new words by yourself. Let me encourage you to work on it! It's amazing when you find the way to communicate each other because you know the appropriate words to express your feelings and thoughts. So, I hope it helps you. See you!

Hello everybody! When we work on our listening skills, we have to be very careful in order to choose the kind of practice we are able to face with. Sometimes you tell me that despite the attempt to watch some films in English, you are unable to undestand a word and everything you do is reading subtitles. Finally, you throw the towel because you become exhausted instead of amusing yourself. Firstly, you have to consider the kind of film you are picking because not every accent is so easy to understand. You have to take into account the level you've got, going further step by step. The following video will show you what I am talking about. 👇 https://youtu.be/ueBFJqwbT6k So, you have to learn feeling yourself comfortable enough to carry on with it, involving an effort but also the chance of getting some improvements. Keep on trying!

Hi again! I don't think learning vocabulary by heart is a good idea. Otherwise, playing with vocabulary and testing yourself is more entertaining and useful in order to memorise new words.

Hi guys! I wanna recommend you a very useful method you probably already know. This is the Vaughan one. Richard Vaughan, an American English teacher, has been settled in Spain since 1970s trying to find out the best way to learn a second language. He has developed a teaching method based on the improvement of the communicative skills which has spread out throughout the whole country. In my opinion, his radio channel is a good way to get in touch with the English language, a good way to get English lessons without any effort while you are doing whatever you like to do. I hope it helps Try it on the following link: https://grupovaughan.com/vaughan-radio/ ☝ See you around!

I was wandering how to explain the greatness of this festivity in the English speaking countries, specially in UK, however, I must admit that this time, I am describing one of the most important worldwide Christian festivals of the year, full of customs, folklore and traditional food all over the world. In Spain, Easter is locally known as Holy Week, one of our most important festivities. Devoted people are waiting during the whole year to join in an amazing and stunning religious celebration. It stands out for its epic brotherhoods’ processions and unique, age-old traditions specific to each region. The atmosphere is usually solemn and inmersed in emotion. It is directly related to their most inner religious demonstrations of faith. We turn the streets into an improvised stage to dramatise Christ’s death and resurrection during Holy Week. Striking pictures of medieval figures in candlelit processions are published daily during these days. These pictures...

Saint Patrick's Day comes every year and the world is dyed in green colours, but how much do we know about Saint Patrick's Day and its origins? In spite of being an Irish tradition, Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world. Besides of that, we are not sure about the date of his death, but this celebration occurs on March 17 in commemoration of Saint Patrick's death, the patron of Ireland. Therefore, it is a holy and religious day in the Catholic Church. St Patrick's Day celebrations often hide the mysteries and meaning behind the ancient figure, he was a fifth-century Romano-British Cristian misionary and Bishop in England. He was also known as the Apostle of Ireland and he is the main patron saint of the country, along with two other saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. The idea of patron saint comes from both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Ortodoxy and the saint is actually seen as heavenly advocate of values like nation, place, craft and family, a...
