Descripción
Entrena tu cerebro con música para mejorar tus habilidades con otros idiomas.

LyricsTap también tiene un modo especial KARAOKE que te permitirá cantar y disfrutar plenamente de la letra de tus canciones favoritas.
LYRICSTAP Y EL APRENDIZAJE DE IDIOMAS
LyricsTap es una manera ideal de aprender y mejorar tus habilidades con otros idiomas.
LyricsTap es una manera ideal de aprender y mejorar tus habilidades con otros idiomas.
LyricsTap te ayuda a aprender nuevo vocabulario y expresiones, y a reforzar conceptos gramaticales por medio del ejercicio continuo de selección de palabras en el orden correcto.
Pero sobre todo, LyricsTap te ayudará a entrenar tu oído para mejorar drásticamente tu capacidad para reconocer los sonidos y palabras de una lengua extranjera en muy poco tiempo, capacitando casí de manera inconsciente a tu cerebro, da igual que conozcas o no el significado de todas las palabras.
Estudios recientes han demostrado que la simple exposición a los sonidos de otro idioma forma en nuestro cerebro las estructuras y conexiones necesarias para su aprendizaje.
La música además de ser un medio divertido de aprender, permite escuchar diferentes acentos y pronunciación lo que dará mayor flexibilidad a nuestra capacidad para reconocer los diferentes patrones sonoros de otra lengua.
Esto es muy diferente de los típicos ejercicios de listening de las clases de idiomas, donde la pronunciación es demasiado perfecta, lo que no es del todo práctico en un entorno real.
LyricsTap es también una manera entretenida de aprender la letra de tus canciones favoritas.
Los idiomas soportados en esta versión son: Inglés, Francés, Alemán, Italiano, Portugués y Holandés.
SOLO EN LA VERSIÓN GRATUITA
El tiempo de juego en la versión gratuita está limitado.

Hello everyone!
In Randall's ESL cyber listening you have different sections, such as "General listening quizzes", or " Long conversations with real video". In all the sections you can choose the level of difficulty (Easy, medium, difficult).
The next page I want to talk about is Examenglish. In the link, you can find exercises to practice not only Listening, but also Reading, writing and even Speaking. I think is a very interesting page that you should not miss.(The link is straight to B1 level, but you have different levels there).
In Saberingles.com you can also find different Listening exercises with different levels of activities.
You can also listen to BBC radio.
I think you have enough material to practice, but I will link more pages soon.
See you tomorrow in class.

0 Another useful page
Internet offers us lots of opportunities to practice English, and chatting is a great way of taking advantage of the internet.
Sharedtalk is a page where you can chat with natives speakers of English and you can choose if you want just to write or if you have a webcam you can also speak with people. But be careful, because as in Spanish, people may use contractions, or not write properly!
You just have to register and is totally free!

0 PRESENT CONTINUOUS;BE GOING TO; WILL
Hello everyone!
You now have many tools to express future, but I'm going to sum up the most important things here:
FUTURE PLANS
To express something that is going to happen in the future but was decided in the past you have present continuous and be going to.
Present Continuous:
It describes an action that is going to happen in the future, but is something that you decided in the past
Next Monday I'm flying to Nottingham
(you decided it in the past)
Remember that you always need a time reference! (next year, next month...).
Be going to:
It has the same meaning as present continuous.
Next Monday I'm going to fly to Nottingham.
Will:
Will/won't + infinitive
It describes future actions, BUT it does not refer to things that you planned in the past but to things that you plan in the moment that you are speaking.(instant decisions)
Oh, It's very late I will come back home.
Oh It's very cold, I will close the window.
PREDICTIONS
To talk about predictions you use GOING TO and WILL
The sky is so dark, It's going to rain.
The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be exciting.
NOTE: you can use "will" to express other things that we are going to see in next lessons.
LET'S PRACTICE!!
