Hi folks!

I´m a teacher of English. I teach in a school in the north of Portugal in a town called Famalicão. My students, whose ages range from 15 to 17, are all in the 10th grade, and most of them have been learning English for six years. Some of my students are very good at English but I also have others who have many difficulties. I´ve created this blog to help my students and other learners of English to improve their language skills.

If you want to learn a language well, you´ve got to read a lot, listen to it and practise ...That is why I've included in this blog: music, radio stations, podcasts, videos and newspapers, besides grammar and vocabulary exercises.

Have fun and remember you will need a lot of practice if you want to master this wonderful language.

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." Clay P. Bedford
