The year of living Danishly, by Helen Russell Today, I'm going to talk about the book that I'm reading. It's titled " The year of living Danishly. Uncovering the secrets of the world's happiest country" by Helen Russell. I can only say that it's quite good because you not only read a entertaining novel but also you can learn curious thing about the Danes. This book is easy to read and it's very funny in some occasions, especially the way of this story is told by the starring. There are twelve chapters, for each month of the year and so, you can feel how it can be to live Danishly. I recommend it for everyone, even if you are English student, as in my case.

An interesting website to learn English. I've just read an interesting article on the Internet about idioms. I came across that web page by chance. I like this website because it's not only entertaining but also very useful because you can practise the reading at the same time that you are learning new concepts and grammar. It's known as www.theenglishstudent.com and it has been created by Jenny Kung. She thought that learning should be joyful and I agree with her. Sometimes people get bored because they don't improve their language skills. It's so complicated learning a new language, especially when you are adult. That's why, from my point of view, I consider websites like very useful to follow it. You learn almost without realising it.

Barbie and the history of clothes. Last weekend I went to the museum to see an exhibition about "Barbie and the history of clothes". It was really interesting because you were able to learn how the evolution of the clothes has been happened and The Barbie dolls were used as a model. There were many of that dolls which were dressed for many well-known designers as Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga, Burberry, Lacroix, Dolce&Gabbana;,.... You can see how that dolls have been evolving along the time. Barbie has never been one of my favorite dolls when I was a child. From my point of view, Barbie is very sickly sweet. I'm sorry for someone is bothered for this comment. ups!!!!

social network Why people are so worried about having many followers in social network? That's something which impact me quite well. I suppose people are concerned about having a high number of followers because it's a business. From my point of view, it's very tedious to look at so many story from your followers who try to show that they are living in "wonderland", without any kind of problems or simply, they show you what they have just eaten. Social networking are very interesting, especially we could have the chance to study the human social behaviour.

How to learn a new language effortless I've just read an article about how to learn a new language effortless. That company ensures that if you invest only thirty minutes daily, you'll be able to speak English in only eight months!!!! From my point of view, that's impossible. All the ones who are studying a new language know how difficult is and I think that it's necessary to devote a lot of time. It's a long process. I can't stand when people lie with things like that!!!

What do you think about this? Do you think is it necessary to live in a foreign country when you want to improve your language skills? I have read some articles about that and most of them say that it's not necessary. In fact, the population from Denmark speaks English and their level is really good. It's true that the Danish has more than 1500 words very similar than English but with other meaning, I mean, what everybody knows as "false friends". In Danish if somebody invite you to eat a "glass" what they really want to do is to invite you to eat an "ice-cream" and so, "kold" is cold in English. On the other hand, they are used to watching films in original version with subtitle. What do you think about this?

Michaël Borremans Last weekend, I went to the CAC Museum in Málaga. It's a contemporary art museum. I saw an interesting exhibition by Michaël Borremans. He is a Belgian artist. His work is characterised by use of dark colours and small paintings. I had never seen anything about that artist before. I liked him a lot.
