Do you want learn English? ¿cómo?, ¿qué?, ¿no entiendes?... No pasa nada, podrás descubrir de primera mano la lengua inglesa en un entorno ideal para tí y tu familia: en LONDON CITY.

La ciudad inglesa de Londres tiene un encanto especial. Para mí es bella por todos sus rincones, ofreciéndonos infinidad de opciones de ocio y turismo, pero además es una ocasión ideal para impregnarse del INGLÉS y mejorar nuestra percepción del idioma.

 Vivir en Londres y aprender Inglés es una alternativa estupenda, sobre todo en estos tiempos en los que el idioma británico es el más solicitado en nuestros curriculums, ¿te animas?

El conocimiento de la gramática inglesa y  su vocabulario son formas de adquirir un idioma, no lo dudo, pero amigos míos, nada mejor como practicar la lengua inglesa para aprenderla de verdad. 

Listening, Speaking, Reading y Writing son las cuatro destrezas base para adquirir un nivel en Inglés. Necesitamos conocer su vocabulario, manejar su gramática para así construir frases,pero sobre todo tenemos que entender lo que se nos dice en dicha lengua y ser capaces de expresarnos a viva voz, hablando, y sí, hablando en INGLÉS.

La pronunciación correcta de la fonética Inglesa se adquiere con la práctica y prestando atención a lo que nos dice, escuchando y practicando mucho, ¿quieres aprender? ;)

The English Studio Learning School es un centro de enseñanza de Inglés cómodo para tí, porque se ajusta a tus necesidades. 

Puedes consultar su  web  y observarás que entre varias cosas. te buscan alojamiento, te preparan para los exámenes oficiales de Cambridge ESOL, te organizan prácticas en empresas, etc.

Existen cursos para todos los niveles, desde principiantes a avanzados y te organizan campamentos si así lo requieres.

¡Imagina lo maravilloso que sería estar en un campamento Inglés en el mismo Londres!

Yo ya voy pensando en mis próximas vacaciones para llevarlo a cabo :).

Es un centro acreditado por ISI, una acreditación que se solicita para ser centro oficial de Inglés.

 Lo mejor de todo, es que te lo dan todo hecho: Clases de Inglés a tu medida, alojamiento a tu gusto, buenos cursos, materiales variados para el aprendizaje del Inglés en sus centros, asesoramiento profesional, etc

Con todo esto, iremos aprendiendo un idioma maravilloso, el INGLÉS en un entorno mágico e ideal, LONDRES, con un centro de estudios  a tu medida, The English Studio Language School.Puedes hacer clic y ver su página web, para saber más de sus ofertas.

Studying the Present Continuous Tense

Hello!!! Some of our students have difficulties when studying the English grammar. Tenses are confused! At that point we need to give them reinforcement and teach the tenses in many different ways.

I think this video will help our students to understand the use of the Present Continuous Tense.
Use it in your lessons and you will see!!!

Have a nice day!!!

A big hug!,

Daniela Andrea Ayala Molinari.

Let's Clan for kids: A perfect way of learning English at home

Hello dear friends,

I'm here again with a new article that I'm sure will be interesting for you too.

 I have read about that TVE with the help of British Council will create an English space on T.V for kids, Let's Clan. It's going to be available next autumn, after summer, so we must pay attention to all the changes. 

I have been thinking about this idea for years, and now it's a reality, great for you!!

I'm happy to see that British Council  is going to create worksheets to be done with parents, I'm sure they will help families a lot.

Moreover, I consider a fantastic idea to include  Peter & Jack in this new project. Manuel Higueras has demonstrated to be a perfect English teacher, an amazing musician that always knows how to be in touch with children and how to involve them in the English learning process. Congratulations Manuel!!! ;D

I invite you to visit his website here

So Characters like Peppa Pig, Pocoyó, El pequeño Reino and Maya, are going to be in English. It would be the best way to make parents and children be sat down together to watch T.V and have and incredible time learning a new language, English!!!. 

Also, parents will have a guide to improve vocabulary and other skills on their kids.

Of course, I think they will need someone who knows the language, a good teacher at school for example, but this is a helping tool to change our world and make English be part of it in a natural way and not as an isolated thing, don't you think so?

This is a summary that will explain you how it will work:

TVE lanza Let's Clan

• TVE lanza Let's Clan

Then, you can read this document that explains what contents and tips are considered when watching the cartoon. Common phrases, words, vocabulary, and so on...  Peppa Pig is a good example that every children love.

Click on this link to see more.

Don't you know who Peppa Pig is? I suggest you click on this link to know more about this cartoon.

Also, there is a nice website with lots of coloring sheets that will make our kids smile again and again. Here is the coloring page.

So now, we just have to wait a couple of months to see how this new programme works! I trust on it! What about you?

Have a nice summer in the meantime ;)!

Love,

Daniela Andrea Ayala Molinari.

(The show must go on!!!)

How to learn the colours through mandalas

Gines Ciudad Real from Orientación Andújar, has created this activity about COLOURS. I always say that mandalas are a good way of learning in the very first stages. 

We as teachers, can work on attention, psicomotor skills, creativity... and at the same time we can praise them with beautiful mandalas to learn a new language, English.

While they're coloring, they're learning and having fun.

That's the essence of a good activity.

You can find more mandalas in this LINK

I have to thank Ginés for this good resource for our English lessons.

Have a nice week!!

Daniela A. Ayala M.

14th of February!: Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Today, many people will be wearing red clothes, or maybe some of them will be feeling better than yesterday, because they're in love, and because they're happy :D

Valentine's Day is celebrated all around the world. For many people it's just a normal day and for others it's the most romantic day of the year...

For me it's something which is in the middle of both things... it's not a normal day but it's not the most romantic day... :)

I mean,everyday is important when you're in love of someone. So you have to demonstrate your love and take care of it every day...

Today it's a good day to say "I LOVE YOU" to all the people you love: friends, family...
So, prepare something special and say it with a big smile :).

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Love,
Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.
