We cannot wait to meet you again!!

October is so close!! And that month, on the 2nd, at 8;30 p.m. we are meeting again!! It´s great, isn´t it? Beginnings mean new possibilities, changes, new options, challenges,... and new words as well... So be ready because we are going to learn and to practice English a lot and, at the same time, we are goingo to enjoy ourselves (this course, please, we should be careful with our fits of laughter!, don´t you think?) 
In the meanwhile, here you have this year makeover for our blog. I´m sure you will like it... and use it.

Have and live a great summer. See you in October!!

You can find GLEE in Netflix!!

I´m sure some of you will love GLEE. If you don´t know it, please, don´t miss the chance to enjoy these characters and the great songs you will (re)discover there. Perfect for your summer!
All the seasons, in Netflix.
