Obama's speech on Social Security

Myths and Morality in Health Insurance Reform
How about exercising you listening skills by listening to the challenging Project Obama is trying to implement in USA? Do you think he will eventually succeed? What implications will it have in the American society? Do you agree with the President?

Welcome to my blog!

Hi to all my NA2 students!

I wish you have a great year full of motivating English experiences in our class.
NA2 is a challenging course as it's the highest level taught at the EOI and we have to pass a certificate examination as well.

To start with, I suggest you search for English speakers so that you can practice speaking outside the class. You have a post below where you can get some ideas.

I'll do my best so that we grow together to be better English users.

Have a smashing new academic year!

Speaking English in Madrid

As some people asked me about how to practice speaking skills this summer, I suggest finding a partner to do an exchange. Here are a few places:

- Individual exchanges in classified ads section “intercambios” of In Madrid newspaper, but be very careful it’s not a sect or someone after sex. Don’t go alone the first time!!!
