Hello,
If you want to listen songs and seeing at the same time lyrics and sometimes can be translated into Spanish,look at www.ompersonal.com.ar/singingrammar . This is a good oportunity to learn English while you are singing (at home). Be carefull, because your neighbors can be disturbed if you sing very loud.
I hope you good holidays.
See you in September!

Hello dearest Servas/Englishmate, I offer you my home for the next meeting. I hope that the weather could us to stay at the terrace. It's so easy to arrive: with RENFE Centre, five minuts walking to north; FFGGCC, Sabadell Centre and walking to the north too, near Gran Via. If you come by car you can use the parking, blue zone, in C/ de l'estació.
See you on friday, Pilar.

The top of the Canigó
This last weekend, with my son and my brother, I climbed to the top of this mountain which is 2.784-metre-high. It was a little hard, but nice. We were very luckly with the weather, because when the rain began we were in the plane already.
I am very happy for have got the this top, for as much time wished.

expozaragoza
hello dear Servasmate ..... Are you thinking to go to the Expo ?
This weekend I’ve been there , just for three days: arriving on Friday afternoon, until Sunday..
We have been not very lucky with the weather: was horrible : raining, and windy. We arrived on Friday, and just getting down the bus arriving to the Expo, began to rain and rain, as the result of it the events of that night were cancelled.
On Saturday, the weather was bad again… but that are the unexpected with the climatology….
.
What I want to share with you, is my experience, and recommendations if some of you want to go….
1. Try not go on the weekend –if it’s possible - and specially, on Saturday; if the worst day, and the cues are tremendous.
2. Arrive to the Expo early in the morning… about 9…. and if you want to go to ‘Pabellon Espańa’ or to the ‘Acuario’ , you should made a cue to take off the advance-entrance to go into. One person can take only 2 entrance. Also you can take a fast-pass for one event in the machines that are distributed in the “recinto” ( note that not all the pavilions and events join this system......)
3. Chose in advance your preferences,,,, and made a plan.
4. The events that happen every day, that - I think - you SHOULD see, are:
12H. CABALGATA (Cirque du soleil)
5 times / day : Espectáculo del hombre vertiente. – for us was cancelled ,,,, but it seems it’s very interesting.
22.30 ICEBERG (Calixto Bieito)
5. Unforgetable :Torre del Agua // Pabellón Puente // Pabellón Espańa
Pabillions (that I see and enjoy) : Aragon (Inside :Video of Carlos Saura, marvellous) , Morroco, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Poland, ... people says that Germany and Japan are nice, but..... so long cues to go into. (there are more than 120 countries ....)
Also there is an area of "autonomias" , normally the cues are little, and you can take a look into : Catalonia, Euskadi, Andalucia (nice video inside) , Castilla la Mancha......
6. Bring your own picnic; unless you want to eat in a good an expensive restaurant of some pavillion..... If you have a sandwich or a menu of the several cafeterias at the expo, you will eat so-so.... , with a bad relation price/quality. Bring also an umbrella, a cap, and a high sun-protector.
7. Take a look in the website of expozaragoza 2008 , to see the events of the day and the mainly points, location and places of the enclosure.
8. Nothing else: my willing and hope of: fun, exciting visits, short cues, and... no rain!!
let's see if I can join you in one of the english-speaking meetings!!

My fisrt test
Hello friends,
I'm trying to write something for all you in this blog. I'd like to be succesful.
Now it's Sunday afternoon. I'm in Els Reguers, near Tortosa, in my daughter's house, where I'm spent my weekend. It seems is going to rain. I'm working with the computer and with my emails.
I'm thinking of you and the last conversation meeting. How was it? What did you do? How many people were there?
I felt very much couldn't be there as I had said, but when I decided go out for the weekend I changed my plans and that wasn't possible. I know nor Pilar didn't go neither did Maria Igancio.
I've just read all your writings but haven't could listening any songs. I hope could do it nearly.
This blog it's a very good idea and a very good tool for us. Thank you, Luís.
Love from
Imma
Can you correct me my mistakes?

Hey, How are you doing? It's my first time writting a comment about our friday meetings. I hope I know this time how to do it. Just want to share with all of you that I am learning a lot while having a good time also. It's great to see how each of us brings new material every time; so as I like so much videos, I hope you will enjoy this one. This time is not to improve our english, but to cheer up our souls before starting... See you all tomorrow. Eli http://youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY
