www.sergiovinals.com & www.escuelaoficial.com

Hi

This is just to let you know that my personal website has been updated. From now on, I'll be posting new contents, exercises, etc. in that new website. It comprises not only Year 3, but also other levels and lots and lots of things related to the English world.

You can access the site by entering www.sergiovinals.com or www.escuelaoficial.com into your favourite browser.

I hope you like the new site, and I really look forward to seeing you there. By the way, if anyone is interested in collaborating with the site, please let me know. Feel free to send me any news or material you consider useful for the site.

Thanks for your collaboration.

Sergio

Radio Vaughan

Hi everybody!

For all of those who have failed the listening part, or just want to practice their listening skills this summer for the sake of it, here's an interesting website called 'Radio Vaughan'.

It's an online radio programme in English, very suitable for English learners, as they speak of a great variety of topics, including interviews, exercises, etc. Those who have followed the programme can verify that it really works.

Here's the link:

www.vaughanradio.com

This company also edits their programmes in MP3 format, so if you search well you can download those files to practice anywhere, any time... :)

Enjoy it

Funny stuff - The 22 Worst Place Names in the world

And it was then that I found this peculiar website. How exciting would it be visiting Titty Hill (Sussex, England), or Hookersville (West Virginia). Can you imagine the smell of flowers at Middelfart (Denmark)? And how about that Fucking town (Austria)?

These are just a few of the 22 worst place names in the world. But... wait! Who told you Cartagena does not mean anything funny in Swahili? One never knows...
