Visiting London This week is half term at school so we take the opportunity these days to visit London. I visited London two times, but I want to go again because I want that my children know the city. London is a very cosmopolitan city, you can find people from all over the world. I can't forget to bring to my friend "Japanese pastries" it is a small cake you can find in a cake shop near Piccadilly Circus. In the world only you can find these cake in London, the only shop where you can buy it throughout Europe is in London. I really wanted my daughter to visit the London Tower because I am sure that she will love it, she loves jewelry and in London Tower you can see the wonderful collection of jewels of the royal family.

A big disappointment Yesterday morning I had to make a call to the Town Hall. I always fell afraid when I need to speak on the telephone because I don't feel confidence to understand the conversation. Often speak on the phone is more difficult because the corporal language doesn't exist and it is very useful to understand each other in many occasions. The girl who attended my call was not too kind to me. Several times during our conversation I had to tell him to speak slower, because I could not understand what he was telling me. I felt so helpless and dejected. I realized that I need a long way to go yet. The worst of all was when the lady was tired and she hung up the phone, I could'nt believe it.....

Saturday evening I love weekends because you can do whatever you want. I hope the weather today would be a good day to go to visit anywere but British weather always surprise you. I stayed at home, and I take the opportunity to listen music with lyrics to learn new english words. I think that listening english songs with lyric is a very good option to study english and enjoy at the same time effortlessly.

A day in the library Three weeks have passed since I started my job in the library. The job is very quiet. It let me talk to other people, specially old people who want to learn how to use the computer. I take to study english in the moments that no one in the library. I like this job because I feel useful, specially to old people who have the interest to learn to use a computer when they have never seen it before. I had a boss who was very interested in learning to use the computer, he always communicating with people around the world, I loved to see him that with 85 years old his mind was so restless. In this job at the same time I'm also learning things that I had not raised before.

LIfe's too short I´m reading a book entitled Life´s too short. Thinking in these stories you realize that we should enjoy every moment in our lives. You must surround yourself with your best friends. We shouldn´t waste our time, it is very valuable to waste on trivialities. If you are thinking in change something about your life, do it. If you want to learn other languages do it. Do not let life pass doing nothing, it is too short. In fact we need two lives to learn English :-)

Depends of the day Depends of the day, some times I feel discouraged with english lenguage. You have a very long way to speak fluently. I live in England for a few months but my learning is slow. I try to learn new words but because I don't use it frequently I forget it. It is important to watch differents TV programms to learn new vocabulary and to habituate your ear to new sounds and pronunciation. In the North of England the weather is like a everlasting spring or autumm, this greatly influences your mood. I prefer a sunny days because I feel in a good mood.

My first comment Although you live in England, when you speak english with native people normaly they don't correct your mistakes so it is a problem, because you never know if you are doing it properly. The city is very quite and people respect each other a lot. The difference between English and Spanish people is that English people is not so outgoing as we are. I'm very surprise because they love spanish language. Our first experience is good although the children have problems sometimes to settle, specially because they are a teenagers.
