As you know, I'm an English teacher. I've been teaching nationally and internationally for 25 years. One of the tools that we, English teachers, are using recently is YouTube. There are thousands of channels to learn and practice there; nevertheless, one of my favorite channels to teach pronunciation is definitely Rachel's English . I highly recommend her channel because she has a lot of very interesting videos for you to practice your English pronunciation.
I recommend you to follow her and SUBSCRIBE to her channel. You'll like it.
We're living very tough times nowadays with the COVID19 pandemic. The best thing we can do is to stay safe at home. When you're confined in your house, good books, television shows, tv series and movies become essential to have some entertainment.
Some days ago, I was taking a look at different titles of movies and series on Netflix, and I found a Spanish series named Unauthorized Living (its original name is Vivir Sin Permiso). The plot of the series goes around Nemo Bandeira (Jose Coronado) who is a supposed businessman in a northwestern city of Spain; however, he's actually a drug lord. Nemo is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, so he starts planning his retirement and thinking who his successor might be.
I finished watching the 23 chapters of the two seasons in just some days. Trust me. Watch the show. It's very well acted, the landscapes are breathtaking, and the plot will keep you stuck to your seat wanting for more. I really liked all of the characters, but my favorite one was Ferro (Luis Zahera), Nemo's loyal friend and servant.
It's been a very long time since I last wrote something here on my blog. My last entry was on February 19th, 2013. Gosh!!! More than seven years!! Seven years ago, we were living very differently. Technology was starting to become a vital part of our lives. The world was moving faster and faster, and even though, we had already faced deadly pandemics, they had been somewhat controlled. Nowadays, we're dealing with another one: Covid-19.
Yesterday, I had to go to a meat company, actually it is a slaughterhouse. One of the requirements to enter the place was wearing a mask. I didn't have one, so I had to buy it. Let me tell you it was one of the most overwhelming situations I've ever had. This company is located in Alajuela, Costa Rica. This place has a very warm weather all year round. Yesterday, it was extremely hot there, around 32°C. Here, I want to pay my respects to all the people who have to wear these masks all day long. I only wore it for about five minutes. However, I felt so overwhelmed that I got out of there as fast as possible so I could take it off.
