How to pay a compliment (MY LAST POST)

It's been a pleasure sharing with you on this blog about English language!

But it's time for me to close this blog as I can't update it as often as I should. As I have already explained on this one that I'm closing too, I opened too many blogs when I started blogging. I am still very keen on blogs, but since 2008 I have learned a lot, and now I have just decided to keep blogging about any educational topic on just one blog, instead of having one for each topic.

So, please, keep in touch on this blog: Reflexions per a mestres. I started it as a blog on education where I would write in my mother tongue, Catalan. But from now on, I will blog there in English as well if I need it, for example when the topic is about English, TFL or TSL and so on...

By the way, if you want to learn more idioms on how to pay a compliment... watch this video!!!

Have fun!

The school year starts next week!
We have a syllabus full of language, grammar and tasks, but we'll begin with all these later.
Let's start just having fun. There is a way of learning a language that is based on playing and singing. It is especially used when teaching children.
But, why not with adult language learners? So, let's sing, laugh and play too, just like our pupils do in English lessons.

Do you know the word "spam" ? Where does it come from? What did it originally mean?
You can guess the answer to all these questions watching the video of Monthy Python. It's simply hilarious... true English humour!



And then, sing!
