  • Spanish: Practica con estos trabalenguas

    Se dice que se originaron en la Grecia antigua para aprender y desarrollar la mente. Cada país tiene sus propios trabalenguas. El mundo hispanohablante también... Te invito a intentar estos ¡trabalenguas!

    Cuando cuentes cuentos,

    estaría mejor dicho,
    que ese dicho que dicen
    que algun día dije yo.

  • Portuguese: Parônimos

    Hoje eu venho falar sobre parônimos. Parônimos são palavras muito parecidas na escrita e pronúncia, mas que não são idênticas. Como são muito parecidas, muitas vezes não percebemos a diferença e trocamos uma pela outra.
