It’s the time of year when all that matters are grades, grades and more grades, and you go through the several stages of revision (when you're not procrastinating). A common mistake many make during this crucial period is to eat poorly and unhealthily. Junk food, lots of chocolate, energy drinks and crisps are often eaten in place of normal meals to “...

“I’d love to speak another language, but…” Over the years, I’ve heard more reasons not to learn a language than I ever would have imagined. I even used to make excuses for myself, before I learned my first new language, Spanish. I’ve yet to hear (or come up with) a single good reason for not learning a language.

Hola!! I thought that I would start a blog, as I have so many things that I would like to say about teaching English in Spain. What a beautiful country this is! Is teaching a challenge?

What about heavy rain, big fight and regular exercise? I’m sure we can all find at least one other way to say these things. And yet, natives always use the same combinations, over and over again. So why do you thi...

Well, don’t be alarmed. I’m not a nerd (1), just look like one. Actually, I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
