New QUIZLET already prepared for you!!

 Since we are an open group, we need a new QUIZLET for this course. And you can find it under the name  "21/22 ADULTS". Let´s fill it with many new words!!!

New timetable for our classes

 From now on our classes will be just one day per week:

Monday, from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm. 

Are you ready to learn and enjoy??

Updating & catching up!!

¡¡¡Se acerca el nuevo curso 2021/2022!!! 

Así que poco a poco tenemos que ir actualizando nuestro material de trabajo. Y uno de los materiales favoritos que nos sirve de referencia durante el curso es nuestro blog. Por eso ya le hemos hecho el lavado de cara para esta temporada. ¿Os gusta la nueva imagen? 

Tampoco estaría mal ponernos al día (de ahí el "catching up" del título de la entrada). ¿Cómo podemos hacerlo? Tenemos pendiente por ahí una reunión en el Calleja, esa que no llevamos a cabo al acabar el curso pasado. ¿Vamos pensando fecha y hora? Podría estar bien la semana del 20 de septiembre? ¡Ya iremos sugiriendo fecha y hora concretas! 

¡Ahí lo dejamos por ahora!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

The Kominsky Method, third season in Netflix

 You may remember some months ago I told you about Michael Douglass and his great TV show, THE KOMINKSY METHOD. Since I am sure you followed my advice, I am also sure you cannot wait to watch the third season, now in Netflix, with Kathleen Turner as guest star. Enjoy these short episodes and have fun while thinking about life.

One out of three (we still have August and September!)

 Almost one month since we finished our course... How are you doing? Great summer? I hope so. Anyway, don´t forget your English ("Speak Up" for reading, "Netflix" or any other tv channel for listening and watching, and music in English at any moment)!!
