Hello World!


"Hello World !"  It's how a new blog is usually started. It's also used in many introductory tutorials for teaching a programming language, though this is not the case here. We are going to learn about the English language. Not just 'the' language, but 'about' it. My approach to second language acquisition (or third, or fourth) has always been considering it a vehicle, not just the goal itself; there are so many things to absorb throughout the process. Some call it Content Based Instruction (CBI), others Language for Specific Purposes (LSP)...What do you wanna call it? How about leaving terms aside and just enjoy with 'Our Favourite Things...?'  (check out Pomplamoose's Sound of  Music version).
Welcome to our space.

  1. the sea, the waves in a high tide beating the shore
    the sunset, the world wrapping in copper light
    trees blowing gently in the wind
    these are a few of my favourite things...

  3. when you are older, you realise that the best things are the most simple things.If you have a baby, nothing compares to your baby´s smile when she/he is sleeping.

  5. Here, I'll post the postcard we have to write.

    Hi, Inma!
    How are you? It's a pity you couldn't come with us, this is an awsome place as you can see in the picture. People are so warm and nice that we have made friends from the very first day in this little village. I'm feeling at home and I'll stay here for another week. Yesterday, we hiked up the mountain until we reached the lake. Tomorrow, we're going to another village known by its crafts. There it'll be a flea market. I really can't wait until then! Of course, I'll try to buy your presents there because I know how you like handmade works.
    See you the 25th. Take care!
