Speak Corner

Speak Corner

This day we were talking about whether the artists who had had scandals in their private lives. For example Roman Polanski, Woody Allen.
That day are the fourth or fifth year classmates and their level of English was very fluent, and there were parts that I did not understand. This showed me that I have to study more to improve my fluency.

Robotics and computational thinking

These days I have been doing a course in robotics and computational thinking applied to early childhood education and I have learned some new words such as: Debaug = to look for and remove mistakes from a computer program so that it works correctly  /diˈbʌɡ/

The Irishman of Martin Scorsese

Times change and you have to adapt or die. Martin Scorsese knows that Netflix has come to stay. For this reason, he has released his latest movie "The Irishman" on this digital platform. I liked it because it is cinema with plot and not only special effects. Of course I saw it in the original subtitled version.

The most expected The Crown

Today I saw the first episode of the third season of The Crown of Netflix. They have changed the protagonist, but I think that actress Olivia Coleman (the endearing Miller of Broadchurch) will give it her personal touch.
Of course in the original version with Spanish subtitles.

The joker

Today we have seen this movie, it is not the typical superheroes I guess that's why I liked it.

Of course in the original version with Spanish subtitles.

Derry Girls

My friends recommended that I watch this humor series about a group of girls in Ireland in the 90s. I really enjoyed it.
Of course in the original version with Spanish subtitles.

Broadchurch

I really like the BBC series because of its quality and its actors, for this reason I have seen this BBC series. Of course in the original version with Spanish subtitles.

Chernobyl

This summer I have seen the chernobyl series, it has been very curious, to listen to Russian characters speaking British English.

Despite this, I recommend this series for its quality and not fall into sensationalism. Of course in the original version with Spanish subtitles.

THE IT CROWD

I have always liked the comedy series. I share a freak side with my husband. One of the best British humor series is "The IT Crowd". 
Here, I reproduce a scene with which I laugh a lot.

Speak Corner with Titanic

Yesterday I participed in the speak corner with my class mate. The subject was to ask about the movie "Titanic". Montse and I didn't see the movie, but Raquel and Luisa had seen it. 

The new words we learned are:

shipwreck = naufragio

fiancé = prometido, vio

corny = cursi

News in English

Today I was reading the news and I listened to these 20 minutes of interview in English. Most of what they speak I understand but some if I have missed.

Speak corner A2

Last Monday 25 I participed in the speak corner with my class mate. Joan the teacher, he wanted us to ask questions about the images that were on the laptop.

Recently I watched a series of Netflix called "Sex Education". It is a series for teenagers but I wanted to see it because it was set in the UK. Seeing it would help me improve my pronunciation in English.

Last Wednesday I spoke with my classmate Luisa, she recommended me this web for practise English. The truth is that I am pretty hooked and use it every day about 20 minutes.  I like it because I am learning pronunciation and grammar at the same time.
