“To learn a language besides one’s native idiom, to penetrate its syntax, is to open for oneself a second window on the landscape of being.” Steiner, G. (1971)

Any interesting video, article or even website you came across while surfing the net? Go ahead and send us a link to it!
What do "The Deer Hunter", "The Godfather" and "Raging Bull" have in common? If you watch this video you will understand that ignorable is different from unimportant. Details are important.
Manolo, Thank you for the link to this video. I really like the definition about acting that appears in it. De Niro really is an extraordinary actor. And doesn't Meryl Streep's American accent sound beautiful? I love her speech, she chose the right words (as difficult as that might be at times). Of course, details are always important.
Here you have two links I think they are interesting and funny:
1. In relation with the Franco's speech we saw in class, I offer you an essential video to learn English. A “perfect” performance of a new version of Elvis' song “In the getto”.

2. A good example of marketing. It's not a perfect English, but I think it's great.

3. Finally, A more serious link. “Blog action day” is a website where you can make your contribution to change our world. It's a group of blogs that trying to make people aware of the problems of our society, places where human rights are not respected, etc. Besides, you can upload your petition to make a better world.
I really enjoyed watching the second video you sent, it's so clever!! Thank you also for the destructive version of Elvis' song, it's funny. The third link is very interesting, as it lets us know about problems that exist in the world today and sometimes are not even in the news.
Do you like Chemistry? Here is a very funny Chemistry Class about Oxygen. Enjoy it.

I love the woman's sitting together Rober De Niro, with her black dress and discreeet white collar.
ReplyDeleteDangerBrown,
ReplyDeleteI think I understood more about Oxygen by watching this really cool video than I did in Chemistry class years ago! Thanks for sharing it with us.
