Hope you enjoy it!!

Here we have. A new blog for our new subject. This site is intended to be an extension of our classroom: a place to find different activities to help you develop your oral skills. It is a participative place: your opinion can help your classmates and you can follow the recommendations of others as well.

My intention is to provide you with different websites including different types of activities, mainly listening and pronunciation practice. After having visited them and done different activities, your opinion is welcome, so please write a short comment on any website you use. Thank you and enjoy your new blog!!
