Welcome to our blog!

New podcast episode to practice Questions and Answers in the Past!

It’s a bit too long! 25 minutes! But there is some grammar and some listen-n-repeat! and two explanations on the meanings of “have” and “who/what” as subjects! You can post your questions here, if you like, or on the TP podcast, or on the TP Forums! :)

Questions & Answers 2 - Talking People Podcast Episode

Filed under: Listening, News, Speaking

Two more audios to practice the past…

This weekend we’ve been working hard on the TP Podcast, where we have included Tags, and made a lovely copy of all the episodes so you can download it! (it’s 2 pages; the pods for Elementary are on page 2), and also on the Useful language section on the TP site, where we have created a printer-friendly copy of the transcripts! If you find any mistakes or if you have questions or comments, you’re welcome to post them here or on the podcast!

Here is the link to the Useful Language webpage for Elementary: http://www.talkingpeople.net/tp/usefullanguage/elementary/elementary.html

Remember you have the complete list over here (plus the link above now, too), on a Page called ***EPISODES for Básico at the Talking People Podcast***

Last but not least… /laast bat not liist/

Happy Daddy’s day! :) (and in Spain, best wishes to all the very many José’s, Jose’s, and Pepe’s!)

New episode! M5 (2)

In the new episode of the Talking People Podcast, we tackle the issue of when to use the present and past tenses and we offer a sample monologue on the topic: A night out! If you want to download it, you can fin the link on the Page here called Podcast Episodes at the TP Podcast!

We’ll be adding an icon to each of the new episodes of Useful Language for Monologues at the Elementary level. Check out the TP Podcast and see if you can spot them more easily!

New episode! M5 (1)

Dear all,

following the project I had for this course, I just recorded a new episode for Elementary students. It’s on the Talking People Podcast, and on the page I’m linking to below, you will find them all with their corresponding links!

I hope it’s useful! Coming up: one or two episodes more using the pasts. It’s really important you learn to be fluent in the past! ;)

Nightie night!

Apologies

Dear students,

I’m ill. I can’t go to class. The School is going to ask for a substitute teacher today.

I hope you can continue with the Lesson Plans at home. Please, work on your monologues and dialogues — this will help you learn best!

Big hug!

PS: Si queréis saber qué orales tengo yo apuntados (notas que le paso al centro para la sustitución), podéis mandarme un email con el título: Básico y dentro del mensaje (al margen de que escribáis más) en una línea exactamente esta información: L/X o bien M/J o bien DIARIO + vuestro primer apellido en la lista (o dos apellidos). Así yo haría un corta y pega al enviados la lista de orales que tenéis según yo. Abrazos
