ESLTalk - EOI Advanced English Summer Course - 2014

I've been teaching for 2 years now, as a language assistant.  Funny thing is if you asked my friends two years ago if I'd make a good English teacher - most of them would probably laugh in your face.

Now, two years later, I had my own class, the EOI Advanced English Summer Course and it was awesome.  Having my own class, with my lessons, my activities and my rules really allowed me to teach English in a different way.  

Fortunately, my students were receptive to my crazy antics and I've seen them improve and feel more comfortable in general with English.  

Thanks for having me, EOI and hopefully see you next summer!

Ferrol English Dinner Club - September Edition

Aloha everyone,

Ha ha!  I am back.  I'm super happy to be back and seeing all of you yesterday is just the icing on the cake (which you guys know I love cake - but that's another story).

As many of you probably already know, I am getting settled in A Coruña, and heading back to Ferrol yesterday brought back a lot of memories.  Surprisingly, though I've been here in Galicia since last Sunday, last night was my first time eating out (well, I've been cooking at home and I'm still unpacking), so eating out last night was a special treat and yes, good food, great company - what else could I ask for?! Nice weather!? That was included too!

The next Ferrol English Dinner Club will take place in November (maybe October, I'm not quite sure yet), if you know of anyone who is interested in signing up - http://ferroldinner.info/

Here are just a few pictures (scroll down for the main link to download, share, tag, etc).

All photos taken with HTC One (no longer carrying my camera!)

I am also going to start incorporating sounds into my blog, I had planned to record a video, but by time I thought of it, I was already quite drunk.  o_O

Sounds - O Lar de Toxos
I was outside of O Lar de Toxos about an hour before the dinner, just to make sure everything was ok and to meet someone for drinking beforehand and I heard this awesome sound.

Sounds - DM Nightclub
I just wanted to record this clip while we were out and about dancing!
