Día del Amor y la Amistad en México (Clases de Español ELE en Londres)

En México celebramos como en muchas partes del mundo el día de San Valentin, aunque a éste se le conoce también como "El día del amor y la amistad"

Esto quiere decir que, no solo es un día especial para los enamorados sino también para los amigos y porque no, cualquier otro de tus seres amados.

Después de todo, tenemos amor hacia ellos también, ¿no?

Una de las cosas típicas, es hacer regalos especiales y dulces, muy dulces. Eso también incluye chocolates y caramelos.

Es típico que las parejas invitan el uno al otro a cenar para tener una velada romántica.

En la escuela a la que yo iba por ejemplo, cuando estaba en la secundaria, los chicos del último año, vendíamos telegramas para los enamorados y amigos, y los entregábamos personalmente en otras escuelas. Un detalle muy especial y personalizado, que a la vez nos daba la oportunidad de recaudar fondos para nuestro viaje de graduación.

En algunos países, tanto de habla hispana y anglo hablantes, se han formado nuevos grupos de solos y solas, esto es porque muchas veces a estas personas les agarra el día solteritos o simplemente porque así lo han decidido

¿Tú que opinas? ¿Crees que está bueno festejar así el día del amor y la amistad? con regalos comprados y cenas fuera de casa... ¿Como celebran este día en tu país?

En ABC Spanish Lessons in London and On-Line tenemos una actividad complementaria para estudiantes de ELE B2  en nuestro blog. Vamos a presentarte un poema de la poeta mexicana Pita Amor. Sigue el link y participa con tus comentarios.

The Economic Value of Learning Spanish

Nowadays it seems that learning Spanish has an Economic Value!!

Or at least that's what it states the Europapress.es on it's Cultural section. After living for a couple of months in London I have realized, how important it is for British schools to incorporate not only one MFL, but giving the students the possibility to learn two or even three languages at the same time. Even though what I have heard from some English friends, who assured me that British don't really learn languages.

And it might be truth compared with Swedish who are one of the most proficients in English as a Foreign Language, but apparently even though they are learning also Spanish for upto 3 years on average, they still have a long way to go to become as competitive as they are with the English language. And for that it might be another chance for us Spanish Traveller Teachers to look for a new adventure!

The Eurobarometer report in 2012 says that:

• Two thirds of Europeans (67%) consider English as one of the two most useful languages for themselves.
•  Languages perceived as the most useful that come up right after are the following: German (17%), French (16%), Spanish (14%) and Chinese (6%)

But According to the proyect of Telefonica Foundation, Spanish Language has displaced German and French as the Foreign Language most taught in Europe.

But Apparently there are still many challenges for the language, one of them is to become more important in business and science matters, and so it is to increase it's presence in the Web, although it already is the second most used on Internet.

There are so many business possibilities to explore in all the Spanish speaking countries and therefore to learn Spanish as a Foreign Language represents a wide range of opportunities to explore, in business, cultural  and for the benefit to collaborate in the social and economic development of these very promising countries with such a great potencial and wealth in all it's word.

So no matter how much Spanish do you know, You can always learn more, keep practicing it or improving it. With ABC Spanish you can learn from the very initial to advance level. Face to face Spanish Courses in London or via Skype! 


Remember you are not only learning a new language, but you are about to live a life time experience loaded with a tremendous background in History, Culture, Business Possibilities and a lot of fun!

Where to go on your next holiday?

You are doing well with your work, getting use to your schedule at home, and enjoying your time with friends, but there is a long time since you haven't been on vacation.

Dreaming awake you picture your self in one of those exotic beaches from the caribean or maybe let's say Los Cabos ... the breeze, the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach, a very refreshing drink, and beautiful suntanned bodies and you lying on the beach just chilling...

Suddenly you meet new friends and you want to communicate your self, and start practicing what you have been studying at you spanish class, but wait a minute...!!!!  you hadn't,  you never had any Spanish lesson...
and this doesn't mean you won't enjoy your staying, but wowowow OMG how big would the difference if you can speak their language, you will definitely be able to share and understand better cultural behaviors and customes.

That's a very good reason for us to recommend you to start having some Spanish tuitions, immersion is one of the best ways to learn a new language, and a good way to do it is by taking some initial course, and if you can travel to any Spanish speaking country this not only will help you with your new language but it will make it in a more entertaining way. By this we are not saying that you should skip grammar lessons, no. Because grammar is the basis of the language and it is the way to speak it and write it in a proper way. But it definitely will help you to make it more easy and defenitely more fun!
