5th Tarea.- Phonetical Transcriptions & Meaning

New links to learn English

Hi everyone!

I post here two great links about learning English. I describe both to know their properties and the advantages they have.

1.- http://www.busuu.com/es

In this web you can choose the language that you want, and the most important: the level! Each language is separated into 4 parts: A1, A2, B1, B2, and you decide in which level you start.

If you want use the programm, you must sign in first, and then you can indicate your itinerary.

The lessons in this page are progressive, you will learn a lot of vocabulary, and about grammar there are some lessons that are closed (you must pay for them).

2.- http://www.aulafacil.com/

This page have classes in a lot of subjects, but there is a part only for Languages, where you can find different levels about English and others.

In English, there are I, II, III, IV; English for reading; English for kids and for bussiness people, and videos to show different topics and ways to learn.

I recomend this programm because is very intuitive: in each lesson, you have a first part of grammar, in the end you learn a vocabulary topic, and finally you practise with some activities.

I hope you like this two options, in my case I think they are really useful; I'm using it to improve my English and start to learn new Languages, as the German.

See you in class! Bye!

ABOUT ME...

Hi everyone! I’m María José, but all my friends call me “Mariajo”. I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Ciudad Real (Castilla-La Mancha). It’s possible that you think: why a girl of La Mancha came here to study? Well, the answer it’s very simple, and this is the reason of the work in my life: the guitar.

I have been learning guitar since I was 6 years old. I came in the Conservatory and I started to love music… and the instrument. I passed the 4 Elemental Degree years, and the 6 of Medium Degree. Then, I wanted to do the test to pass to the Superior Degree, but in C. La Mancha there isn’t this career, so I had to move to Andalucía and doing it.

Finally, three years ago, I did the test and I got in the Superior Conservatory of Córdoba. For complete my knowledge about music and education, I started to study Teaching in the UCO too, and … I follow in this two places right now!!

About my hobbies, I like reading very much and going for a walk when I’m stressed. I love going out to take something or to dance in the night.

I choose English as a foreign language because this one is the most popular and useful in the world. In the career, I have luck because I choose “English” as a Optative in the first course, but in 2th I can’t practice it, so I’m happy about improving my English in this subject.

With this subject I want to learn more didactic songs, because as teacher, I should sing a lot, and if this is with English… it’s better! For this reason, I approve the song’s methodology, and the way that the teacher shows us the vocabulary, phonetically symbols and words.

I can contribute to this subject with my music, with my guitar to accompany the songs. In the school classroom, the music teacher must use any instrument to do the exercises and sing the songs. So I want do this in the English class too.

I hope you know me better! See you soon.
