¡Hola, !
If you are staying local this summer (like me!), let me bring the holiday vibe to you in my Summer Programme for Beginners and Improvers.

Summer outfits optional.
I've also launched my new programme Spanish for Absolute Beginners which is fully booked so watch this space for the upcoming one if you or anyone in your contacts would be interested to attend.

My recommendations this month / Recomendaciones del mes
Juego con una canción / A song game:
I love music and I found this fun game to learn some words in Spanish.
Jarabe de Palo was a Spanish band very famous in Spain and LatinAmerica, and their song Agua is a great exercise to learn some opposites (antonyms). Lyrics training shows you the video, the lyrics and the challenge is to complete the verse before you hear it. Have a go and let me know what you thought about the song and the game!
Me encanta la música y recién encontré un juego para aprender más vocabulario en Español. Jarabe de Palo fue un grupo español muy famoso en España y América Latina, y su canción Agua contiene algunas palabras opuestas (antónimos). El sitio web Lyrics training muestra el vídeo, la letra de la canción y el juego consiste en elegir la palabra antes de escucharla y completar el verso. ¡Cuéntame qué te pareció la canción y el juego!

If you have any recommendations, please send them and I'll share them in my next newsletter.

¡Nos vemos pronto!
