Hi everyone! Here’s your homework assignment for the class (remember that this will take the place of a quiz, so it will count towards your final grade–take it seriously!). Today we talked about Wonders of the Ancient and Modern Worlds. I’d like you each to write a few paragraphs in the comments section below for your assignment. I want you to do some research about...

As you may know, I live in Costa Rica, but I do a lot of my shopping over the internet. Today I wanted to mention a few details about how I do that by using resources like Groupon Coupons, since some other expats (people living in a different country than the one they come from) may be able to do it, too! Please note that...

Hey everyone, here’s your second and final assignment! For your oral exam, each of you did a presentation based on the idea If I were…. You took notes on everyone’s presentations, so you’ll have to write about a classmate. In your comment below, please write a few paragraphs about your person’s presentation. Include at least a general idea/summary of what he or she talked about (in your...

These are the amputated legs and feet of people who copy and paste from Wikipedia. Hi! This is your first homework assignment for this class. Please write your answer in the comments section below.

If you look up the words “hope”...

Hi everyone! This will be your second and last homework assignment for this course (I know you’re all sad because I said you might get to do three assignments, but I’m sure somehow you’ll survive). For this one, I would like you to interview a person who has learned another language. It can be English or any language, really, and the interview can be in...

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I’ve also been writing for a website called FluentU. It’s a great site with a lot of blogs, but that’s not even the main thing they do. They also have a great language learning app for many different languages. There are free and paid versions, so if you’re learning English (or German, Spanish, Portuguese, or any of several other...

I hope you’re ready to learn a good way to talk about your plans and dreams for the future, because that’s what we’ll talk about today! This post is actually a two-in-one post, since it has an explanation about grammar and a Song of the Week. I chose this week’s Song of the Week because we used it in class.
