Incredible, but true!!! This is the post number 700 since we set off on this digital journey 9 years ago, so congratulations to everyone because I keep on working on it since I see that my students use it (more than 10,000 comments have been made) and how useful it is for our teaching-learning process of the English language. Even some of you have created your own blogs and sites, and I feel really proud of you all to participate in this DIGITAL PROJECT!!!
