Hello, everybody. Welcome to the 2009/10 Avanzado 2 course at EOI Alcalá de Henares. Here we are again. Summer holidays seem to be so far away now. I hope you are all ready to work hard and have fun. We are on board now so fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your journey!


Well, my phonetics-lover students. Here you can find some direct links to do some exercises in order to practise English phonetic symbols and sounds. You know it is essential to be able to read the symbols in order to improve your listening and speaking so, what are you waiting for? And remember, remember the 16th of October (our Friday lesson), you made a promise I won't let you forget. See you on Monday.








And now, the fun part:

  2. Hello, Rafa, nice hearing from you. How could I forget my last year Avanzado 1! Of course not! You are very welcome to continue using my blog and I expect to read a lot of comments by you. I hope you found the pronunication activities useful and I'm sure that, although this year my target is Avanzado 2, all of you in Avanzado 1 can take advantage of my posts. Thank you for being there!
