My first blog

This is the first time I do this, a blog. It is aimed at anyone who likes English as much as I do.
 I'll use it as a tool for my students to improve their English and anyone who likes it, will be welcome too.
 I'd like it to be participative, to do so I'll prepare a variety of activities, grammar, speaking, songs, games, jokes ...
Well, let's see how it works and enjoy it.

Last year Gema and I went to Dublin for a week with a group of 1º bachillerato students. I had so much fun during that week, that I want to thank them all for their excellent behaviour and willingness to participate in all the activities.

I hope they keep good, long lasting memories of that week we spent together.
So, in the very first entry of my blog I want to thank you:  Adrián, Alejandro, José Mª, Víctor, Laura, Mar, Noelia, Patricia, Raquel, Sheila and last but not least Gema,who is the other teacher who shared that wonderful experience.
