ARTDossier_ManelPortillo by https://padlet.com/manelportillo13/kbctkyo2inmgp0pr This is a short presentation about what I've been doing this year to improve my english level. en-us 2022-04-27 14:50:33 UTC 2022-04-27 16:34:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3f4-e0067-e0062-e0065-e006e-e0067-e007f.png Harry Potter movies manelportillo13 https://padlet.com/manelportillo13/kbctkyo2inmgp0pr/wish/2160543339 I've watched some of Harry Potter movies in english. This helped to me to improve my listening level. Harry Potter is my favorite saga. It is about a wizard and his 2 friends during their 6 years in Hoghwarts school. They use their powers to fight against Voldemort, the villain of the saga. This story shows us important values like friendship, power, teamwork, resilience and adaptability. 

This is my favorite saga of movies and I recommend it to you if you are fan of science fiction and haven't watched it yet. It is not for everyone because the first movies are kinda childish. They have a really good British accent so it is relatively easy to understand.

This is a very famous sitcom from the USA. It tells us the story of a group of friends who live in New York and, they are neighbours and some of them live together also. The sitcom tells us about their stories, with their dramas, their love romances and how they develop their friendship and own personality when they are growing.

This sitcom has 10 seasons and I highly recommend it to you when you don't have any idea what to watch. The chapters are really short (around 20 minutes) and the vocabulary is not too difficult because they speak about everyday things.

This series tells us the story of 2 main characters who have to do illegal things to support their families economically. One of them suffers a terminal illness and his treatment is so expensive, so in fact it is like a criticism of the private health system in the USA.

I highly recommend this series because it is one of my favorite series and if you haven't watched it yet you have to do it. The english level is a little bit high, I've watched with subtitles in english because I've watched in spanish previously but if this is not your case I recommend to watch firstly with spanish subtitle to better understand the drama.

Some of his lyrics I used to translate it. 

Drake is from Canada, but his mother was an English teacher so his English is really good pronounced even though he has a lot of accent. I also have watched some interviews and I also recommend it. 

Obviously some vocabulary of his songs is so colloquial and rude but a lot of them could be useful.

But, to be honest, I get bored soon because I have the feel that was a little bit basic. I recommend it if you haven't tried it, it could be useful to improve the level.]]> 2022-04-27 16:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/manelportillo13/kbctkyo2inmgp0pr/wish/2160688477
