ESCUELAS AMIGAS: FINAL PROJECT

Not only is the course coming to an end, but our Escuelas Amigas project is also about to finish. Students at both schools Pamplona and Pontevedra have been working hard to reach the final step: "Your favourite spot" listening activity. Up for a challenge? Click the last link on the presentation below and try to complete the task. Can you guess all the places and put the pictures in order?

I am definitely sure all of them agree that this has been an unrivalled experience. We have worked hand in hand together with students in Pamplona and discovered a lot of magical places in the city! We have also recommended some charming spots in Pontevedra. Now we are all looking forward to meeting our mates in person.

I would also love to personally thank Carlos and his awesome students for their empathy and good work. The project has been a real treat! They have made a difference!

Should you go and visit Pamplona, all of the spots here are a must! Do not miss them! Great job, guys!

ITip of MAY: SPEECHNOTES

This month I am going to present you with a great class working tool. Speechnotes is the perfect voice editor to move from voice-typing (dictation) to key-typing seamlessly and boost your pronunciation skills at the same time. You will love it thanks to its high level of accuracy, great features and ease of use. Luckily, it is free and needs no registration. It also allows you to edit speech results, which might also come in handy!

You can type at the speed of slow clear speech and even insert punctuation marks. How does it work? just speak into the mic to let Speechnotes transcribe for you and beware... if the notes make no sense, you might need to adjust your pronunciation a bit!
