HAMLET Prince of Denmark

11239alum — 2021-04-22 15:49:15 UTC

I started to read this book which is a small adaptation of the writer William Shakespeare.

Then, when I finish a chapter i do the activities of the book and it's a way of learning and reviewing every chapter that I've read.

I listened in YouTube the song from the movie "The Bodyguard" preformed by Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. I really like this song and I'm used to watch the lyrics video with the Spanish translation because I love it and by this way I can understand and learn the song.
My mom, when I was a baby, always played this song to make me sleep.

Two years ago, I saw this film in the cinema in the Spanish version and I had loved it. The other day at home, I watched this film again in English with subtitles on Amazon Prime.

This movie is based on the biography of Freddie Mercury and how he became one of the best and famous singer in the world with his group << QUEEN >>.

This trilogy saga is one of my favorites movies.
Sometimes I watch these movies in English or in Spanish with subtitles in English and then for example, I repeat some scene of the movie out loud and I listen to the pronunciation.

Outlander

One month ago I started this serie on Netflix in English with subtitles in Spanish. It was a little bit difficult for me to understand all the words when the characters were speaking. But I really like that kind of stories.

This serie tells the story of a young woman called Claire who enjoys a second honeymoon with her husband in Scotland. Once there, it will suddenly be transported through some stones to 1743 year. Since this moment, she will live certain adventures, some threats and she will meet one young men named Jaime Fraser. Claire begins a passionate triangle love between two very different men with two different lifes.

I have changed the language of my mobile phone to English. So all the settings are in English. Like the gallery, the camera, the settings, etc.
Also, all the apps that I use in my daily life are in English as Instagram, Facebook, Google Chrome... Like this I get used to this vocabulary.

Review the Grammar

11239alum — 2021-05-17 15:59:52 UTC

I have tried to speak English this year, but it's been a little bit difficult outside of school because I don't have a lot of free time.
But, sometimes I practice English with my sister's boyfriend. He's called Antoine.

Antoine speaks French, English, Spanish and Dutch.
His level of English is quite high. I try to speak with him in English to improve my English (also French).
