(Avanzado 1) Elllo elllo, you say elllo I say goodbye...

Actually The Beatles said Hello, Goodbye, but they might as well wanted to use this terrific website that I came across a couple of years ago, just by chance, probably browsing through the web expecting to find something else.
The page is called elllo (it stands for English Language Listening Laboratory Online) and offers a wide array of listenings, ranging from interviews to listening games. It is probably the best website for improving your listening skills, in my opinion.
I have just prepared a screencast to show you about how it works and the contents you will find there. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not that I think you are clumsy when it comes to dealing with computers, it's just in case you are one of those who say that computers 'don't love you'. If after watching the screencast you still don't know how to use the page, you're in for trouble in this increasingly technological world...
You'll see a slideshow embedded below. Just watch it. You'd better change to the Full Screen mode so you can read my notes. Eer, yes, if you're one of those the full screen is the icon with the arrows...
Then send a comment for feedback- what do you think about the page? Did you like it? Did you do a lot of listenings? You'll have to anyway, as I'll tell you to do some homework about it quite often from now on.



Clear? Then you know what to do next...
See you in class! You say elllo, I say goodbye, elllo elllo...

(Avanzado 2) The art of displacement

You might as well have been practicing the flip, the roll, the tuck and strange body movements. Not that free running is popular in Pamplona...yet, so you might become the pioneers.
As you noticed the other day in class, the DVD player was going a bit haywire. I've just been checking the DVD at home and it just worked great. That means it wasn't really my fault (you know I'm a tech-freak). Just in case today 20/Jan we can't possibly watch the video again, here's the homework: just follow this link and then do the listening exercises that I gave you out the other day.
For some jaw-dropping, awesome performances, just watch this video.


Can you beat that?
See you in class...
