Maybe it is not a true story, but it's a true fairytale and a wonderful one!

Saint George's Day is a popular festive day when book and rose stalls, and, above all, floods of people, take over the streets of all Catalan towns and villages.

Can you tell us more about that wonderful day?

Teaching philosophy

Knowing the English language provides us wings to fly everywhere, legs to walk next to anyone, and freedom to speak and play with lots of people from our world.

I think learning a language is something interesting, funny and entertaining and that's what I try to share with my students.

In my opinion technology will help us to do it better from now on, or at least we'll try.
