STEVE JOBS AT STANDFORD UNIVERSITY.

Hello mates:

Do you know Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple company and of Pixar animation studios? Well, this is the speech he gave at Stanford University's in 2005.
It's worth listening, although it may seem a bit long, the way he tells his stories becomes very interesting and entertaining. It's also very easy to follow and it is divided into 3 parts:

1. Connecting the dots.
2. Love and loss.
3. Death.

It makes you think, doesn't it?

SPOTIFY

Hello mates:
 
I'm writing on behalf of Estella, who suggested me to write a post about Spotify. It's a new way of listening to music in streaming. You just have to download an application to start listening to music.

 Thanks Estella for your contribution (if you want to add something, just let me know).
Bye!!

"THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"

Hello English "addicts":

This post is to remind you there will be a free film show this Thursday at 18.00 in the Cultural Centre ("Casa de la cultura") in Villalba. This time is the turn of a French film, so if you also speak/ understand French you can drop in. I leave its trailer: it's in original version, but with subtitles in English. If you finally go, enjoy it.

See you there!

11th FEBRUARY SESSION.

Hi everyone:

To be honest, last session was one of the funniest. We were in a very good mood, so witty comments became something natural. Our first topic was the "Time bank project", which is currently starting in our town. Then, we also talked about different accents of non-native people. Then we moved to talk about resources to learn English or interesting websites e.g. the use of podcasts to train our ears or watching films in original version. Our last topic was related to that: dubbing vs. original version films.

Apart from the topics I'd like to tell you that Elena will not be coming for personal reasons. So, Elena, thank you very much for being a member and we expect your visit one day.

See you all on Friday.
P.S: Please write something about you for the blog. Thanks in advance.
