In today´s class we played Kahoot! again because we all love it and we are all worth it!! 

It was time to practise the present perfect with FOR and SINCE and I must admit that all my students on the intensive course did a great job. I am so excited they understood the grammar rules so well that I had to share the results with you. Congrats to the Outsiders.... because they worked hard and so fast that managed to win the game!!!

DUOLINGO: APP OF THE YEAR


Duolingo is the world's most popular way to learn a language. It's 100% free and fun. You can practice online with duolingo.com or with the apps.

Duolingo is a language learning platform that includes 66 different language courses across 23 languages.

It has a gamified skill tree that users can progress through and a vocabulary section where the words learned can be practised. It makes language learning fun, enjoyable and very challenging!! That's why I´ve decided to include it in my ITip this month!
