Greetings Nancy
Replying to what you have just written I can tell you I do this blog myself. At the moment I have no contributors, but if all goes right and this becomes more successful I will definitely involve others.
About your concerns on reading books in English, I consider this website can help you: http://www.planetebook.com, here you can download complete classic literature. However, the level of it may be a little hard.
I hope to have helped you. Please come back to this blog regularly and make comments on the articles.

Hi teacher!
Same as Nancy, I think your blog is one of the most interesting ones I have ever visited. I liked a lot the design of it!
I was just going to ask, is there any specific genre of music that you would reccomend to learn and that it’s easy to listen? Like, I don’t know, pop, rock, etc.?
Thank you and I’ll be in touch even when the course finishes this thursday… Because as I said, it’s a pretty interesting blog

Well Juan concerning your question, even though you probably know about this, but The Beatles songs are really good for practising your listening. Personally I wouldn’t recommend lots of rock or strident music, because it makes it quite harder to understand the lyrics. Try to find some pop music, in spite of not being my cup of tea, this type of music is ‘popular’ partially for its ease for understanding them and the simplicity of their vocabulary, which I believe you need first as students.
