November tweets

-

I have been on Twitter for four and a half years now. If you haven't signed up, why not do so? I think it is an entertaining way to help you along the learning path. Take a look at some of the tweets from Novembers past. You can click on them and give a like to show me that you have read it or you can tweet a comment. Not only that, you can write a comment in the blog about any of the stories below.

I am very happy in my new home and neighbourhood. I am still hard at work opening boxes and arranging things but the end is in sight.


I am hopeless at putting furniture together. I think the table would still be in the box if I hadn't had help.

Notice that I write useful expressions in capital letters. What do you think "slowly taking shape" means here? You should always try to guess the meaning from the context before looking it up and finding further examples.

José Mujica is no longer President of Uruguay. Here is a selection of his quotes.

The worst thing for me about Spain is the treatment of animals. There are just too many stories like this one:


Yasser Arafat wasn't the only famous person to be exhumed:


2013

They say that Madrid is the dirtiest that it has ever been but:


I am not nearly as polite as I used to be:



I stayed in the Parador in Fuente De. Use Tripadvisor to read reviews of hotels, restaurants and places that you visit.


Today is Black Friday. Why oh why do we need it here?

2014

I always find war stories interesting:

Two extremes:
