How English sounds to non-English speakers ... really?

I often wonder what I sound like to my students, I know that they may not understand every word I say but I am sure that they do understand a few words.

Watch the video, and try to write the words that you pick up. Can you guess what they might be talking about? What story does the video tell us? Remember, to understand better, observe the expressions and gestures of the speakers. Keep in mind, that in the video, very few words are  actual English words, most of the words are not real!

New Year Resolution, Learn English!!!

So here we are again, starting a new year and how many of us have made more than a couple new year's resolutions that we will keep, if we are lucky, for a week.....What are some of the typical new year's resolutions? Lose weight, c'mon, this is a common one and haven't we all just overdone the turron and the roscon this Christmas season??? And what will reaching our ideal weight mean? more confidence, we will look better, it will be easier to find clothes our size, we will be healthier...How about this next common resolution; Quit smoking! Yep, here's another beauty, quit smoking, and we are lucky to make it to noon time of January 1 and not reach for that pack of cigarettes that we were so reluctant to throw away... but then again here are a few good reasons to quit that filthy habit: better health; you get to save money ( in some cases a small fortune ) ; your breath will smell better too! and if for that reason alone, one should stick to this resolution. Exercise more, so here we are, January 2, we are up bright and early on this cold winter morning but, we are determined to go for a run... ok, so we only got past the first corner but it was a good effort...now, can we keep this up? Maybe I should just enroll in a gym? Ok, collective exercise is more our thing but after a couple of days we start to think of excuses...maybe, I should sleep later this morning, maybe exercise everyday is not that good, three times a week should be enough...twice a week maybe? Oh what the heck, my bed is too warm and cozy... 

Now here is our proposal: LEARN ENGLISH!!!   and although we highly recommend and suggest that you enroll at iSpeak, since we can guarantee good results, there are other ways you can improve and learn English. The advantages? so many: better job opportunities, better grades at school and these are just two of the most obvious ones. And just like many other important resolutions, this one  too, you should stick to, the advantages are nothing but positive. 

Come and visit us and see how here at iSpeak, we can help you stick to this one!
