Mind Your English!

Congrats to all! Our blog was kindly given an award by a fellow blogger from the self-learning blog of the English Department at EOI Coruña, which is also worth checking out. Apparently, this is an initiative to make your favourite blogs known to your readers. There are some rules you need to follow:

1. Copy and display the picture of the award given to you.
2. Link back to the blog that nominated you.
3. Nominate 10 different blogs yourself.

So, bearing that in mind, here are the blogs that I find most useful and well worth a visit:

Alpozo's Phonetic Blog (Ana López Pozo)
Blog de Alejandro Valero 
Blog de Ana M. Almarza 
Blog de Cristina (Cristina Cabal)
EOI Leganés (Laura Acebes)
EOI Nivel Básico 1 (Sergio Viñals)
Kaleidoscope (Leticia González Cepeda)
Matilde's English Corner (Matilde Seara) 
Ms Bermejo's NA2 classes (Mª José Bermejo Sánchez)
Nik's Daily English Activities (Nik Peachey)

Hi, guys!

Just in case you didn't know, today is Father's Day in Spain (in English-speaking countries they celebrate it in June), and to celebrate it I want to share two of my favourite songs with you: the first one is Father and Son, a beautiful song where the father gives advice to his son about what he's going to face in life, by British singer Cat Stevens, and the second one is Tears in Heaven, which Eric Clapton wrote for his 4-year-old son Conor, who died when he fell out of a 53rd floor window in the apartment where his mother was staying in New York City. I hope you like them!





BTW (=by the way): I just found this fantastic site where you can read and listen to real English. It's called LingQ. Registering is free, so once you register you can jump right in and start lessons. Lessons are short little dialogues, or sometimes short descriptions that link every word to a dictionary, so you can build vocabulary and pick up grammar on your own. You can also write things and have them corrected by a tutor, and also speak in English with a tutor, but this isn't a free service.
