BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

A good pronunciation helps!!!!

How do you pronounce 'saw'? Check its pronunciation and its different meanings here. And be careful because you may mispronounce it and mean 'sow'.

But what is the meaning of sow? Watch this song by the Dubliners (7 Drunken nights) and read the lyrics and you will discover it.




Do you like Celtic music? Have you ever been to Ireland?

  1. I laughed a lot at the Irish song. The Irish are renowned for their jokes and the humorous lyrics of their songs. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the Irish accents but it sounds nice to the ear. I have discovered that a sow is a pig! But if you pronounce '' sow '' like '' so '' it is the present tense of the verb to sow which means ' coser ' in Spanish.

    I like Celtic music, with its tin whistles, fiddles and harps. I sometimes listen to the Corrs, but my favourite Irish musical pieces are the jigs and reels with their fast rhythms which make you want to get up and dance.

  2. The video is really funny. Many times we are wrong in the pronunciation of saw "vió" and we say sow "cerda". Is difficult!! In the video is very difficult understand their accents.(Irish accents), but is very entertaining.
    I don't like the celtic music.I prefer other music, but I like to go to Ireland!
