Verbs In English
Most of the times, when we have to learn different verbs it is a bit boring and difficult, because we have to study lists of vocabulary.
What do you think of learning a lot of verbs singing? I give you this oppurtunity having a look at the following video. It is called Grammar Rock Verbs, and I have just found it in the net. We will have a look at it in class to see if you have any problem of understanding.
Anyway, I think it can be useful for youn learners as a new way to studying verbs.
A new world in travelling
I have recently discovered a new word in Spanish which I am not able to translate into English. It is “enoturismo”. Do you know what is this?
It is a way of mixing two different hobbies: the first one is travelling and the second one the world of wine. This way you will be able to travel around vineyards, in a luxury way, enjoying your trip.
If you want to know more about all this, I have found a wonderful site where you can find many different and interesting trips.
Are you interested in “enoturismo”?
