A Link to BBC
For those who teach!
Interesting Slang
Good links


Back again… and some news
After a long while… I’m back. I’ll try to fill you with my thoughts and feelings again, and also with some tips and links for my fellow teachers.
These up here are my daughters… my two eldest ones, considering the next one will be another GIRL!!! Coming in february, and all of us eager to see her among us (well, in fact, she’s already “among” my wife Anna).
TAFL
By the way…
By the way, Current TV seems to be a different way to make television. Interesting documentaries and interviews about everyday life and hot issues, from the watchers’ point of view (for a change).
An oasis for teachers… and speakers
I’ve been told a new café has opened up in Barcelona: The English Oasis Café. There you can have a drink and speak English. There are activities and even learning modules of spoken English for low-stage learners, and different topics for everyone to choose. Magazines, boardgames… anything that might help you feel in comfortable in an English speaking atmosphere.
Back from the hills!
So we are back. We had a great time there, in spite of the dangers you’ll see later on this post. The house was cute and tidy, and there wasn’t many people around, we met a family next to our place, but we didn’t see much of each other.
The weather was fine, we had some fog (really thick), and sunshine, but scarcely any rain, so we managed to do some walks in the area.
We went into a vegetarian diet of barbecued ribs and spiced pork meat… together with boiled vegetables to compensate.
We met a very interesting man and his family. Mr Valentí Garrigasait, the owner of the place where we were staying. He is a very trustworthy man, always ready to help you and give any assistance you need. A man with a solid background and sympathy that make of him an outstanding character. He was the one who restored Hotel Sant Roc in Solsona, a beautiful art noveau building of 1929, and turned it into a fashionable hotel worth visiting run by his efficient daughter Dolors. On our way back, we
stopped by and had lunch there, and were welcome by the staff with such kindness that my daughters behaved like sheep (easy joke… they usually do). Dolors showed us the newly decorated rooms, some of them painted by Tate, another one of Valentí’s daughters. Really astounding!! I really encourage you to pay a visit to this nice hotel in Solsona.
Here’s a little show of the things we had to endure up there in the wilderness!!
