This is not a "goodbye", this is just a "see you soon"!!

Hi guys! Unfortunately, our job with this blog is temporally finished, as we are thinking about keeping working on it if you are really finding it useful. Because of that, we really need you to complete the following questionnaire to make a decision about the blog. It wouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes. Thank you very much for helping us in advance.

A man may learn wit everyday!

How is going, guys? Weekend is near and we are anxiously waiting for it. Sincerely, we need to have a rest. Are you ready to learn a new idiomatic expression? Today's choice is: TO TAKE SOMETHING WITH A GRAIN/PINCH OF SALT.

1. Meaning
  • To take something with grain of salt or a pinch of salt means not to take it too seriously or too literally.
  • To not completely believe something you are told, because you think it is unlikely to be true.
2. Examples

3. Note
Take something with a grain of salt is more common in American and Australian English, while take something with a pinch of salt is more common in British English.

Learn how to study English in your own!

Hi guys! As you all know, we were English students and one of our main problems in the past was that, sometimes, we were not able to organise ourselves to study English in an effective way. Because of that we propose you a schedule of how to study English properly week by week. We know that it is difficult to give English so many time because you all may have some other subjects but, please, try our "weekly study plan" just for a week... we promise it will work ;) 

Eemj ;)

Click on "Semana" to see the planning. 




Regular verbs pronunciation

Our experience as teachers and, before that, as students has shown us how complex is English pronunciation, particularly the one of final consonants. For that reason, we leave you a video in which you can improve the pronunciation of regular verb endings in past tense. First of all, watch the video and, then, try to do the exercise.


1. Challenge: Try to discover the way to exit from the maze, take into account the pronunciation of these regular verbs in past tense. 

Good luck! Eemj :)
