In our November programme you can find exercises for various levels, from elementary to high-intermediate. We started out with pronunciation, learning two ways of saying the letter “l” in English. Next, in our 1 minute question block, I explained the difference between the uses of “last” and “the last”. Then we listened to an interview with a learner of English who explained what she liked about the language.

In this programme we opened a new block for children and young learners, with a dialogue between two school kids, and a mini-interview with one of them. We finished off with the second part of a tale adapted from a traditional Catalan legend called Cavall Bernat (Bernat Horse).

Just like in the previous programmes, I presented new vocabulary and asked the listeners comprehension questions related to the interviews and other listening parts.

In this programme we did pronunciation with a student, working on the letter «h» in English. We continued with our 1 minute question block to answer a couple of concrete questions from language learners. Then we had an interview with a crupier who works on a cruise ship, talking about his experiences. Finally we listened to the first part of a tale adapted from a traditional Catalan legend called Cavall Bernat (Bernat Horse).

In the first part of the programme, in our 1 minute question block, we spoke about the difference between “like” and “as”. Next we did some pronunciation practice with the help of a song, which pianist Jordi Romero and I had composed together. After announcing the main events for the week in Ripollet, I chatted with Jordi Jimenez Puig, director of the Veus del Vallés and the Coral Tradicional in Ripollet about music and his work in these two choirs.

I encourage bands and musicians who write their own songs in English, or other artists who do their art in English, to contact me for an interview if they would like to talk about their music or art in future programmes.
