Today you will have 2 choices.

To either write about the Chilean heritage and the role of the state and the people to preserve it or a place you would like to visit.

For either of the 2  Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts and my blog if you like. Word count: 150 words !!

Today I will write about a place I’d like to visit. To be honest, travelling is one of the things I find most valuable. A lot of people prefer to buy stuff and that is fine by me. I personally feel experiencing different cultures and sharing with people is priceless. Even though I understand that as a tourist you don’t really experience the culture the way a local does, I enjoy travelling very much. I have a lot of places in Chile I'd like to see but I'll go for something different.

Choosing a favourite place puts me in a difficult situation. I more or less love all places. I will select one because it is part of today’s task. In 2014 I had the opportunity to visit Turkey. I simply fell in love. I would like to go back to this place one day. I would like to learn more about the Byzantines and the Ottoman empire. It is such an interesting culture. I would also like to visit the coast since they say it is amazing. To be honest, I would also like to learn more about the language. The Turkish language is nothing like anything I heard before, much nicer than the Arab language (in my opinion) but still pretty intricate in terms of structure. So I guess I’d like to go there for around 6 months to get a good feel of the place and visit all the places I didn't get to see..

I think Turkey is the perfect transition place as transit from west to east and the arab world.

Dear all,

Today I have an interesting linguistic challenge.

I’d like you to explore two websites and methods for second language acquisition. I’d like you to spend at least 20 minutes on each one.  You will need to register and check the services, languages they offer and the methods they use to teach them. To discover the different characteristics of both sites, you need to explore them carefully. THEN, on a piece of paper, I’d like you to write a review on both of them.

Refer to the layout. How user friendly they are. The methods they use, and how easy you found it to make progress. Why is one or the other better?  For which purpose? Advantages, negative points, and anything else you find relevant to mention on a minimum 200 words.

The sites are:
