Play a game: QUESTIONAUT



Questionaut is another educational adventure game from BBC and created by Amanita Design, who is the creator of the very popular Samorost games. In this game, you try to travel through strange worlds and test your knowledge of English, Maths and Science on this magical mission to recover your friend’s hat.You move through eight levels. You have to first click items or characters within the level to cause a chain of events that will get one of the characters within the level to start asking you questions. With each correct answer, you get more hot air in your balloon which, when full, takes you up to the next level. With each incorrect answer, you lose some of the hot air. Good luck and have fun!
You can find information about it here!!

EDINBURGH (SCOTLAND)


I have had an incredible experience...

I have known a lot of people, I have made a lot of friends and this is my best memory...Of course this experience was good for my English because I practiced it every day.

The thing that most caught my attention was that the city was clean, there was not pollution and people were very polite, everybody followed the rules ( they were very strict).

Climate is very cold in Edinburgh and it changed very often. If you see my photos , you will see me with clothes for different seasons ( scarves or shirts, sandals or boots...)Every day it rained and this was the worst part.

I noticed that Italians have a very good level of English and I think I need more vocabulary.

This experience has increased my interest in other cultures, languages, traveling and meeting new people.

DANE'S JOURNEY



When my family came to visit me in Sevilla we had a great time going out and seeing the city. My parents rented a flat in the center and we stayed there for a week. Even though it was really hot, we did a lot of sightseeing during the day and visited the Alcazar, Cathedral, several museums and walked around the entire city. We ate tapas almost every night and both my parents really enjoyed all the food they tried.
After 6 days in Seville my parents and I drove to Portugal, where we rented a flat in Algarve. My sister flew into Faro to meet us and we spent about six days on the beach there. The beaches were beautiful but the water was so cold. The weather was much cooler than it was in Spain so it was a little difficult to go swimming in the ocean but we had a nice time relaxing on the beach.
After our stay in Portugal, we flew to Marrakech in Morocco for two nights. Morocco is so much different than Spain or anywhere else I have been. It was interesting to see the culture there and all of the small streets and markets in the center of town. We spent most of our time just walking around the streets and seeing different things However, after two nights in Morocco I was ready to leave and come back home.
We flew from Morocco to Madrid to London to Denver and luckily I made it home without losing any of my luggage this time. It is nice to be home but I miss my life in Spain very much and I hope that I will be able to come back soon. I had a great time at the school getting to know all of you and I hope to stay in touch. If anyone has any questions or anything please email me.

I miss you all already and hope everyone has a good summer.

Dane in Budapest



Over the Semana Santa Holiday, my room mate and I travelled to Budapest, Hungary, for five days. Budapest is the capital of Hungary and it is a very interesting city to visit. There is a lot to see and do in Budapest, so my room mate and I were very busy the entire time. A few of the things that we saw and Budapest is famous for are their Turkish Baths, the Opera House, The Danube River which flows through the center of the city, and many other historical monuments. Budapest also had a very fun night life. I went to several big and really fun discos while I was there. After five days though, I was excited to get back to Sevilla and was able to see the last few days of Semana Santa.
