Happy March, my pretties,
Today I wanted to leave you here seven things that I thought might interest you.

Perhaps you have noticed that—finally—I have started with the topic of videos. Something I've been wanting to do for years—and I'm not exaggerating about years. Things are going slowly, because of course, you have to earn your money in between, and I don't have the hours in the day. But little by little I'm discovering new things about how to make videos, and the truth is that I'm learning a lot. I hope you take advantage of it.

A couple of the videos I've made in recent weeks are

(1) Who I Am, Where I Come From, Where I'm Going, and Why I Want You to Get the English Degree You Need. Here I explain just that: who I am, and why I want to experiment here by “creating” a kind of unorthodox English course that can help whoever needs it to obtain a B1 or B2 certification in English.

(2) Continuing with the above, here I make a brief review of the different types of exams that we can take to obtain the certification in English that we need. Take a look and tell me what you think, or which of the tests you need or want to take. And if you need something specific, tell me too. Anyway, at some point I'll have to talk about it, for sure ☺

But man does not live on videos alone.

(3) To make our lives easier, I present to you WordReference.com, the online dictionary that I use. Great for Spanish-speaking English learners.

(4) Continuing with the topic of preparations for specific English exams, allow me to introduce you to Flo-Joe, a website where you will find everything you need to know about the Cambridge exams: structure, examples, exercises, exam models and more resources that will come in handy when preparing.
I hope you enjoy it, tell me what you think,

(5) We continue with language and languages, but now I share here a mini-podcast of less than 9 minutes about words related to war, which are so sadly current right now.
I find the podcasts at IVOOX —another great resource that I have yet to make a post about. This one in particular belongs to the Cadena SER podcasts, the truth is that it has very good things. It is worth spending some time exploring them.

Language Description | Words of war [8'55'']
You are listening to a section that explains every Thursday issues of the Spanish language, its position on the world language map and its relationship with other languages in history and at the present time. All this thanks to Lola Pons, professor of Language History at the University of Seville. We analyze language from all perspectives.

(6) And while I was wandering around looking for more of those Language podcasts in the Hoy por Hoy channel of Cadena Ser on IVOOX I found this little gem of less than 8 minutes about the role of women in Ancient Rome. Don't miss it, because, being so short, you have no excuse.
→ Cadena SER — What a story! | The woman in Rome [ 7'39'']
Description: Today, our private history teacher brings us closer to the role that women had in Rome. A completely patriarchal system in which women had to make a living to survive.

(7) And finally, another curiosity about language: Origin of the term “Tree Hugger”. I think you will be surprised to learn the story of the more than 350 men and women who allowed themselves to be slaughtered to protect the trees they loved, and the consequences of this action.

I hope you take advantage of this week's Newsletter, and we'll see you soon.
Kisses.
