Typing shortcuts...

In Spanish, we shorten words when sending messages all the time, for example, we type xq instead of porque or tmb rather than también .. there are thousands of examples like those in Spanish. In English, you do the same, for instance asap instead o as soon as possible or btw rather than by the way...

What's the difference between learning a language and studying a language? There's a difference between learning and studying though I think that if you really want to speak a second language both terms are linked. Are you learning or studying a second language? or both? Your thoughts and opinion are welcome!

What kind of podcasts or videos you prefer to learn Spanish?

A lot of students of mine have asked me about what kind of listening material fits best for them.

Personally, I prefer to listen to videos or tv shows I like even though they are not meant to be made for educational purposes. If find a tv show interesting and easier to understand in comparison to others, I watch it.

The misuse of social networks It's widely known that some young people have become addicted to their devices wheter they be mobile phones, laptops, ipads or any other device which let them check their facebook profile anywhere. Some young people can't help having a look at their profile every five minutes and that is a bad habit which can led them to future problems such as gambling, depression and so on. It turns out that ten years ago nobody thought about how dangerous some behaviours related to the misuse of social networks could be in the long term. From my point of view, it would be extremely important to raise awareness of this problem in the first place. Some parents may not be used to these kind of social networks and that's why most of them are merely not aware of the real dangers they can imply for their children. Meetings about how to notice when your children are not using social networks properly and how to implement schedules for them to check their mobile would be useful for some parents. I really think that the main goal of these networks is to make people depend on them. The government should enact some kind of laws so that social networks have to introduce some changes in order to avoid addictive behaviours taking hold, especially among the young people. The enforcement of these laws would be essential. To sum everything up, the government should become aware of this problem as soon as possilbe and start making decissions about how to tackle it.

sentences To Barry's restaurant manager, On the 6th of October in 2017, my family and I had booked a table at Barry's Restaurant in order to celebrate the birthday of my kid Peter, who turned twelve that day. As always we arrived ahead of time, we wanted everybody to be at the table ready to order at the time we had decided previously. I would like nobody to go through the same unsettling experience. At least, they should've apologized for the inconvenience however, they treated us as troublemakers and laughed at us.
