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.

The war against GRAMMAR
The war against grammar,
use of English, vocabulary... is a big issue and there are some stages
to follow, usually very well presented in textbooks. However, to win
this war you must also have to face some small battles using guerrilla
tactics.
That is our goal with this new section in my site, to present some common
mistakes or doubts that come up when learning English. I hope it is
useful for you!!!
