;) I always remember Spaniards wearing warm jumpers when I was in my T-shirt!

Maybe it's time to retire?;). In a French lesson with a student yesterday evening, I started to show her a writing question I'd found earlier for her to do. A few minutes in and she said, 'I think that's all in Spanish!'. She was right! Oops.

This is a nice verb to say you are putting your attention or your focus on something in a specific moment. It's normally followed by the preposition "en" if there is an object. Por ejemplo: siempre me concentro en los exámenes cuando se acerca mayo 👩🎓 (= I always focus on the exams when May gets closer).

Me: well I never!

Every day is a learning day :)

JUST 1 SLOT REMAINING FOR THIS ACADEMIC YEAR:). If you're thinking that your son or daughter might benefit from some additional support with their Spanish or French this academic year (particularly years 10 and 11), please do get in touch. I've tutored students for almost 10 years now and can provide excellent references on request. Many parents comment in particular how their son/daughter has improved in confidence after just a few sessions. Looking forward to hearing from you. BON WEEKEND / BUEN FIN DE SEMANA :)

Works for Spanish too ;)
