🇪🇸 ‘ME ENCANTA’ (I love it) when students and their parents feel happy with my tutoring!

💃 One mum was pleased with how her daughter grew in confidence before taking her GCSE Spanish.

🤗 A student studying iGCSE Spanish, where all three components of Listening/ Reading / Writing are examined in one sitting, was ELATED that she used two WOW PHRASES that I taught her for the WRITING!

😎 I LOVE IT when a plan comes together - here’s hoping the results are good in August!

👉 Did you know that I also TEACH ADULTS languages? 👀 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹

New timetable coming very soon!

😎 DON’T let the IMPERFECT TENSE in SPANISH 🇪🇸 get you down!

💃 Just use SOLÍA + the INFINITIVE to talk about what you USED TO do - it works 99.9% of the time! 🤩

🇪🇸 It’s particularly useful if you can’t remember your JUGABA or your COMÍA! Although ‘ABA’ & ‘ÍA’ aren’t too difficult to remember if you think of the group ABBA and MAMA MÍA!

👉 What did YOU USED TO DO when you were young?

☀️ ESTOY DE VACACIONES…

🪴 ¡…en mi JARDÍN!

🕶️ Sometimes a ‘ESCAPADA LOCAL’ (Staycation) can be just as relaxing as going away!

⛱️ un rincón sombreado (a shady corner)
🥗 una ensalada fresca (a fresh salad)
😎 un jardín soleado (a sunny garden)
🌿 menta fresca para bebidas (fresh mint for drinks)
☺️ paz y tranquilidad (peace & tranquility
🛌 mi propia cama (my own bed)

👉 HOWEVER…

…it would be nice to have a PISCINA (a pool)! 🏊🏼‍♀️

💃 What do you like about a STAYCATION?

🇪🇸 SPANISH words used in the ENGLISH language!

💃 So many words for FOOD & DRINK that we use in the UK:

🔴 CHORIZO - a spicy pork sausage from the Iberian Peninsula

Then there are words I LOVE about vanishing from the public eye! 👀

☎️ INCOMMUNICADO - unable to use COMMUNICATION with others OR DELIBERATELY disappearing off-the-grid for a relaxing weekend!

Other words we regularly use are:

😴 SIESTA - an afternoon nap or rest
🕺🏼 TANGO - a Latin dance of the same name

🆙 LEARNING A LANGUAGE 🇮🇹🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸 is like doing the ‘FIVE RISE LOCKS’ at the canal in Bingley!

📈 You make PROGRESS then PLATEAU ✋

😳 Then you start to DOUBT yourself and it feels like you’re going backwards ⏪

💃 KEEP GOING to the next level and BELIEVE you can DO IT!

🦶BABY STEPS is the answer; after all, Rome wasn’t conquered in a day! 🏛️

🤗 So next time you feel you’ve come to a STOP 🛑 in your LANGUAGE LEARNING, think about climbing a mountain 🗻

🧗 You’ll get there in the end, even if it’s one step back TWO STEPS FORWARD!

💃 Any PROGRESS is what matters, no matter how small!

🌍 EUROVISION in VIENNA tomorrow! 🇦🇹

✍🏻 As a SCHOOL TEACHER, I used to regularly seek out the Eurovision songs in FRENCH, SPANISH & GERMAN for fun, interactive & tuneful lessons!

😳 BUT NOW, most of Europe sing in ENGLISH!

🇬🇧 However this year, the UK sings its chorus in GERMAN 🇩🇪 - Eins, Zwei, Drei… 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣

🇦🇹 AUSTRIA (Österreich) is hosting the song contest and thankfully are singing in GERMAN - quite a catchy, techno sound!

🇩🇪 GERMANY (Deutschland) is singing about FEUER (fire) 🔥, BUT in ENGLISH!

🇨🇭SWITZERLAND (die Schweiz) sing about someone called ALICE 👧, but in ENGLISH. They didn’t make the final though…

🤔 Do you think that singing in their own language brings more FEELING to the song & also shows the CULTURE off more?

💃 Bring back the native languages to EUROVISION!
🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷
