My English journal

Hello readers, how is going your quarantine? Today is the stage 2 in my country! So we can go everywhere, visit our friends and family, ride our motorbikes, take long walks with our dogs… Things we used to do daily and were boring but now are just amazing activities to do! I haven’t written for a week at the reason was I began to work again, well, was my first day after two months in the company, considering that I’ve been two long months in quarantine at home.  This first week of work and of “real life” has been difficult for me, I couldn’t imagine how life would be after the quarantine, even I didn’t considered I could have some trauma as it was this: I had a trauma, I was afraid of strangers, the virus, the environment, everything scared me because I was as confused as all my workmates. We use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that covers almost all our body, even the workers who aren’t directly in touch with the customers, but the most annoying PPE was the mask, I couldn’t imagin

Hello readers, if is someone reading this! How is going your quarantine time? Mine is not as productive as I’ve imagined, but some days are better than others, so let’s enjoy the good days.

A few days ago I listened to a podcast about the arrival of the Irish to America, a podcast made by The Bowery Boys who I highly recommend to listen to! I lived in Ireland for a year and was an awful year, this experience was a little bit traumatic for me but more traumatic was to come back to Spain, I had learnt so much from the Irish that my first months in Spain were really hard to adapt to our culture and behaviour, specially about how to be a

Hello if there is anyone reading to me! This is the first time I’m writing a blog in English, or maybe it will be only a personal diary, I’m not sure yet as my English level is not enough high as I pretend, but this is the main reason to write daily or weekly: to improve my English level. During this quarantine I’ve been listening to lots of podcasts in English, at first I didn’t understand a 50% of what they were talking about, some accents are really hard to understand, in my case, I can’t understand well the British accent, but my husbands does it very well!  I want to prepare myself for the First Certificate Cambridge Exam, I’ve never tried it before as I’ve been speaking English since 2012 when I moved to Ireland, and from then I’ve been speaking a little bit, not as much as I’d like, because it’s hard in my country to find people with who to speak in this language.  Do I really need this language certificate? I’m not sure, but it’s obvious that the global economy is going to chan
