Because listen is IMPORTANT...

My favorite tale when I was a child !

Good morning!!

This is my favourite tale when I was a child and the reasons why I loved it.

Alice in Wonderland is about a crazy adventure that takes place when Alice, the main character, falls down a rabbit hole that opens up a new world that is unknown. She meets a numerous amount of people, talking animals, and spends her days figuring out where she is going. She encounters many obstacles and has to learn to adapt to the new environment because she doesn't know how to get out.

Some activities to improve english listening in your children!

Do you feel as if you spend more time talking at your child than to her? Many children have notoriously selective listening skills — they hear what they want and seem to tune out the rest.

But listening is a skill that we can help our children improve. Like a muscle, it needs constant exercise to grow stronger.

Here are some games and activities to boost your child's listening skills. Because children learn in different ways, the games are arranged by learning style.

The Skeleton Dance ! (Parts of the body)

Hello! Here you are the skeleton dance for you to practise the body vocabulary. Watch out, don't break any bone!

4 TIPS TO HELP YOU LEARN ENGLISH

1. Take a deep breath and SPEAK!

The more you think about speaking, the more nervous you will get. Just try speaking more. Next time you go to English class or speak English, count how many times you speak in five or ten minutes. After that, try to speak more. If you spoke one time today, next English class, try to speak two or three times. The more you speak the more you will learn how to communicate properly.
