The New York Times


If you are not in New York to buy the most famous newspaper, the newspaper reaches to you in a simple click. In addiction, you can also see the news.

The New York Times has a multimedia page full of videos, photos and articles about latest news.
While you read what interests you, the text offers underlined addictional information in case you miss a recall of what exactly each name refers to.
The videos are particularly appealling to me. Check this one about Finding Models in Rural Brazil.

What`s your English, South Africa?

In a World Cup year, everybody wonders how the country is, how the population live their every day life, how is the food and so on.
For English teachers it is a challenge to show our students how the English is spoken in different countries. Not only do I enjoy this challenge, but also I look for real examples of how the language is used in a daily basis.
Macmillan Education prepared a video on how is Sounth English is. Look at this video!
If you click on the other 4 videos right on name of the publisher, you will see more useful examples.

There is also a Macmillan Dictionary of Global English and Language with blog pages of different English sopken in the world. It is worth checking.

Let`s keep swapping our English!!
See you soon folks.
