In April we did some pronunciation practice with sound difference recognition, followed by an interview with a tourist in Barcelona. Next we practised frequency adverbs and expressions, did some basic listening comprehension, and then I explained some grammar related to in case, in case of and just in case. After this I spoke about aspects of the First Conditional, and then I asked some quiz questions about animals, geography and others. In the Kids Block we had comprehension questions for pre-intermediate levels about a conversation on hobbies, and some comments about the expressions used in the conversation.

Our March programme begins with pronunciation and grammar points that some Spanish learners of English tend to confuse. Also, we listen to an interview made with a Hungarian anthropologist and researcher living in our community, followed by clips selected from a past interview with a student in order to check some more vocabulary and grammar points.

In the Kids Block we’ve got an elementary level conversation that helps us focus on the importance of word linking in English, and as usual, some comprehension questions are asked and answered.

We kicked off in the February programme pointing out the importance of short answers in English using auxiliary verbs. Next we listened to clips from an interview from the October programme in order to learn some useful expressions. Then, following a reading exercise and finding out the answers to the questions about the last part of the story “Bernat Horse” from the December programme, we continued with our Kids Block.. First, we listened to a singing session to learn a song with the participation of some school children, and finished the programme with an elementary level listening comprehension exercise.
