I’m reading this very good book, “Eat that Frog” and it talks about how to stop procrastinating and getting things done.

I have found some interesting things and I quote, “Continuous learning is the minimm requirement for… Continue lendo >
I started teaching the little ones (7-11) some years ago and I have discovered great things about them: – You can’t underestimate a child’s intelligent or perception; – They learn fast, but they forget fast too! – They’re highly kinesthetic, so keeping them in their seats is a real challenge; – Bring lots of extra… Continue lendo >

Hello there! If you read my posts on English Experts you already know I’m a series freak. I love watching Two and a Half Men, Lost, the Tudors, Dirt and (yeah crucify me!) American Idol.

Hello, everyone. First of all, have a great weekend! I used to teach at a private regular school and every year we had several training sessions.

Well, on this very rainy day in the distant city of Bebedouro, in the State of São Paulo, I was thinking, “Why do so many people have problems with pronunciation?” I mean, even English teachers. Yeah, that one in high school who kept telling you the pronunciation of “think” sounds more like “sink” or “fink”.… Continue lendo >
