Hello everybody and welcome to the blog!

¡Hola a tod@s y bienvenid@s al blog!

As promised, I have finally created this blog to facilitate communication between us, to keep you informed about the different activities we'd be doing in the class (especially when you cannot make it to the class), and also to give you some ideas to practise English outside the class. Please, feel free to send me your comments, suggestions and proposals to improve the blog together.

Hope you enjoy it!

Como os había prometido, he creado un blog para facilitar la comunicación entre nosotros, para que podáis estar informados de la marcha de la clase cuando no podáis asistir y también daros algunas ideas de cómo practicar el inglés fuera de clase. Por supuesto, también queda abierto a vuestras propuestas, sugerencias y comentarios.

Espero que os guste.
