Shorts

We tend to talk about movies but we rarely talk about short films. For me, they are on many occasions extremely more powerful than full-length or feature films. This is the trailer for A Story for the Modlins. Impressive and thought provoking.

Hopefully, they will upload it here shortly.
In the meantime, here's another jewel.

Any other suggestions?

Flipped Education

I was surprised to learn about 'flipped schools' and how far technology can take us sometimes. I wonder how this project would work in our country, but I guess we still have to change too many other things before we start thinking of this kind of experiment.

What would you change about your school?

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sometimes we just like things we have been exposed to. This happens with accents too. If we have always listened to British speakers we will end up finding American accents difficult to understand, and vice versa. There are so many varieties of English. I have a soft spot for a Southern American accent, and also a Jamaican accent.

What about you? Do you like an accent in particular? Why?
