Watching films to learn English
One of the things I am doing to learn English is watching different films in their original version. I have started with comedies because I think they are easier to understand. And I have also started with films with Hugh Grant like the principal actor because I believe that he has a good accent and I understand what he says.
However, I am not going to watch always films by him because he has done a lot but not has an indefinitely number of them! So, yesterday I have watched a film Gerard Butler and Catherine Heigl. I noticed that it´s very different but I understand more or less Gerard Butler. Nevertheless, I can´t say the same about her. It was more difficult to me to know what is saying.
By the way, I am going to continue watching films. And proximately I am going to watch “The proposal” with Sandra Bullock, and “The Switch” with Jennifer Aniston.
I know that there are actors and actress that will be better to understand but I will try to be all ears and understand all of them or, at least, part of their speech.

palabra "odd"
Estaba viendo una película en inglés y se decía: "odd decisión"
¿Qué significa aquí? Me sale como "extraño". ¿Significa eso?
¿Tiene algún otro uso?

my holidays
When I was little I used to go to Benalmádena, a region in Málaga in the south of Spain, with my parents and grandparents. It was one of the best experiences in my life. Nowadays I still remember those years, when my grandfather played with me in the beach and we went out to dinner in the night. Actually, I continue going there with my husband and my daughter and I hope she remember in the future how we spent her holidays with us.
We use to do a lot of things like I have done it before. A lot of restaurants that we go for dinner are the same that I have stayed before. And we spent our days in the same flat, the same that my grandpa bought in the past.
Benalmádena is a popular site here so many times we come across people that we know and relatives indeed. Because of being so popular is better to not going in august because it can be jammed. We usually go in September which is a good month. Then, the temperature is perfect and there are not crowded places. Going in august cost an arm and a leg so going in September is cheaper. Obviously, that it is not our problem because we have the flat to stay in, but it is only an advice.
If yu want to hit the nail on the head, you should go there on holidays. By the way, it is also a good place to live. You will find your feet instantly!

first impression
Hi
I have been surfing the web and I have to say that it is fantastic. I have never thought that something like this could be so useful. However, I realised that my English level was lower than I thought. How i said before i want yo take the English exams and there are not a piece of cake so i have to hit the books.
I do not have a lot of time to study but i will try it.
I have also looked for people to practice and there are a lot. It is so interesting to meet people of all the world.
If i would know this web before I have been here previously

Hello
Hello everybody!
My name is María and I am from Asturias, in Spain. I am studying English because the next year I want to make de english exams in the Oficial Idioms School, here.
I am practising it by watching films and using the different resources that we can find in the web.
I am married since 2010 and I have a little child who is going to be a year this month. Now, I am not working so I spend my time taking care of she and studying English. The next year I´m going to study a master but I would like to find a job which let me free time to study.
I hope I can find interesting people here to talk and learn the idiom and I would like to help others to learn Spanish too.
María
