How To StoP Translating in Your Head and Start Thinking in English LiKe a Native

Hi, Guys!!!, 

Some weeks ago, I found out this English Teacher, Gabby Wallace, she's from US. I like her enthusiasm, her clear explanations, her useful tips to help us improve our English. I hope you'll like her too. Now, let's watch one her videos: HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH FLUENTLY, EASILY AND FAST BY YOURSELF.

SpEAkiNG - DescribinG PictureS

Hi, Teachers!,


I'd like to propose you all this practical oral game: "DescribinG PictureS". It's very enriching and funny for your students. You can follow these steps or change them, ok?


1st Select the pictures:
Famous paintings, such as Van Gogh's Irisis or Sunflowers, Leonardo da Vinci's Gioconda, (to help them recognise and learn some famous painters), beautiful landscapes, crowded cities, etc.

2nd Deliver pictures:
Give your students enough time to look at carefully their pictures.


3rd Questions on board:
You can ask the following questions: What can you see in your photo?, Can you recognise it?, Are there any people?, What are they doing?, Can you describe the buildings?, and so on. Obviously, questions depend on the type of pictures chosen. Then, you may need to write some questions on board.


4th Ask your pupils to describe their pictures. At the same time, you can encourage the other children / teenagers to ask some questions to their classmates.


5th Learn English and have fun!!! I hope you'll enjoy it! ;-)

Enjoy English... HELLO and GOODBYE !!!!

Hi, Guys!,

I really want you to learn and improve all your skills.... because of that, I wish you would listen this new English lesson (2).

I've just chosen this video since it is subtitled, you can listen to an English speaker-teacher, he speaks quite slowly so it is easier to understand this, ok? I hope you'll enjoy it as well as encourage you to SPEAK ENGLISH!!! Well, let's listen to this and then, please tell me: how many ways of saying "hello and goodbye" you can find in the video?

Real English!

Today I would like to introduce "Real English". It's another way to learn and improve your English!

Real English are lessons on video, you can listen and watch real talks based on several issues, such as addresses, weather, numbers, frequency, and so on. Moreover, it is a great chance to listen the different accents, either American English, Irish or British English.

So do not waste time and watch this video, ok?
