The Shadows in the Art

Hi kids, I was in Madrid last week and I had the oportunity to enjoy the great exhibition "Shadows" at the Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza and La fundación Caixa Madrid. So I have created this slideshow with some of the masterpieces. I hope you like it.

"The man without a shadow" was a fantastic animation I saw at the Thyssen Museum.

The shadows and the cinema:

Don't be afraid of "Nosferatu" (1921), the great film by Friederich W. Murnau.

Learning English and watching videos

Hi kids!
At Yappr.com you can learn English and have a great fun. It is very easy to understand the videos because you have the subtitles in English and in Spanish, you can repeat a sentence if you don't understand it or even you can repeat the audio pronounced more slowly.

This time, I have posted a funny commercial with two incredible schoolgirls talking about pens! Click on the link or on the image to watch the video. The level is easy. Enjoy it!
*You can sign up if you want to have your own yappr with all your favourite videos.
*There is a permanent link at the sidebar/videos and powerpoint.

Trek yourself and travel with the crew of The Enterprise.

"Hi kids! Today I'm on a mission with the crew of Star Trek . Our spaceship, The Entrerprise is in perfect condition and we'll be back to base very soon." ( Can you believe it? I'm a boy!!!)

*Do you want to be a member of the Enterprise, the fabulous Star Trek spaceship? Then, choose an identity, use the text-to-speach or record a message and have fun!
You can post it on your blogs or send e-mails to friends or family.
