my dear

If you are a teacher of english you can use the song ´All together now´ by the Beatles in order to teach colours and numbers.  It´s easy for them to learn the lirics and they enjoy it.

 CLASSICS

The best way I got to keep my english alive is by reading. Classics I think is the best option they contain a lot of vocabulary at the beginning reading makes difficult but is only a matter of time you get familiarized with expressions and turns. There is and interesting offer, you can by classics at a low price if you ask for Penguin Books or in case you can manage the Internet you go to e-bay in order to buy them.

I´d like to give you an example of books I have read and if you ask me for anyone I can tell you about. I will recommend you or I will disregard it.

these are some samples:

- The Count of Dracula. (Stoker,Dublin)   - Treasure Island.    (Stevenson)        -Dr  Jekyll and Mr.  (Stevenson, Scot.)          

- The Scarlet Letter. (Hawthorne,England)  - Tom Sawyer (Twain,USA)          -Peter Pan (Barrie, Scot)

- Jane Eyre.  (Bronte,Yorkshire)               - Robinson Crusoe. (Deofoe, London)      -Mrs Dalloway (Woolf,,Hyde park gate).

- The hound of the Baskervilles (Connan Doyle, England).

WHAT IS NIHON TAI-JITSU

The Nihon Tai-Jitsu is a Martial Art of Japanese conception, whose origins like structured martial art, date from XVIth century.

The prestigious Master Minoru Mochizuki brings it for the first time to Europe in 1.951, date in which it begins its expansion by the continent, by means of his disciple, the french Jim Alcheik. After the death of this last one, Master Roland Hernaez takes the reins of the Nihon Tai-Jitsu being in charge of its diffusion, not without before construct the technical bases and developing the methodologic structure of the actual Nihon Tai-Jitsu.

This does not mean that the Nihon Tai-Jitsu that we know now differs greatly from the Tai-Jitsu practiced in the Japanese midle Ages, but that its techniques are more structured, it has become rich with new contributions and basic groups of techniques that have been created for the learning and the evolution of the pratitioners, around which it turns the fundamental concepts of the system. Really, the techniques continue being traditional, but however the education method is completely new, which allows to the practitioners a better assimilation of the technical program, that is more adapted to the occidental mentality.

The Nihon Tai-Jitsu is a pure art of self-defense that is oriented to obtain the highest effectiveness with the minimum effort in any situation, for that reason their practitioners train all the distances of confrontation, from the long distance, where the use of fists and legs is possible, until the distance of contact or hand-to-hand, where it can be more appropriate the use of throwing, without neglecting of course, the ground work.

I´ve been reading the world masterpiece ´The Pillars of the Earth´ by Ken Follet seven days since. It´s amazing how art and ancient cities are mixed up, so that you can get aquainted with morals, life styles and art. All the characters are imbued in an atmosphere where survival is the main goal to be attained. Family and law play an important role as well.

It was first published in 1989 and it gets  different awards up to date.

         Nowadays, sport and studying is my life  .

                                I like cycling, martial arts and running.

 I don´t like aquatic sports. Dip inside my world, don´t be ashamed to exchange opinions, I´ll be charmed to meet you.
