English in the Time of Corona Virus

Sorry, bad take on Gabriel Garcia Márquez´s title Love in the Time of Cholera….

Nonetheless, the world has not stopped turning, and this too shall pass, so while we are all at home, let’s take advantage of our free time to review and continue to practice all that we are learning in English.

By the time we are back together at school, hopefully, you will have reviewed and practiced any concepts that we have learned or that are difficult for you!  To help you with that, we have new exercises on liveworksheets and we will continue to add them.  Also, we will be posting video lessons and activities on the blog, so please keep checking it. If you have questions or doubts, comment to us on the blog.

Meanwhile, go wash your hands!

Stay in your house, take care of the people you love and stay well!  Take the weekend off, and check this space for work on Monday.

We’ll teach virtually for a while, and we´ll see you on the flip side!

All our best,

Lindley and Manolo

Bueno chicos y chicas, el mundo no se ha parado , esto es solamente un pequeño intermedio en nuestras vidas, así que mientras estamos en casa, vamos a aprovechar para repasar , aprender y practicar   inglés.

Durante este tiempecito que estarás en casita y hasta que nos volvamos a ver en nuestro Colegio, habrás repasado y practicado cualquier concepto y tema en inglés que hemos estudiado juntos y quizás era un poco difícil para tí.  Para ayudarte, además de los cuadernillos de inglés , tenemos que mirar en www.Liveworksheets.com , donde tendrás nuevas actividades para practicar y mantener al día tu inglés.  También habrá entradas en el Blog con nuevos videos.  Así que por favor,  no se te  olvide comprobar diariamente estos dos recursos.

Mientras tanto, lavate las manos muchas veces.

Cuidate y cuida de las personas que amas, escondete en tu casa.

Estamos en contacto contigo virtualmente.

Te deseamos todo lo mejor.
