MAYBE YOU LIKE THIS SONG

Good morning everyone!
I hope you are having fun these hot and stormy days. I am sure you have found a way to enjoy yourselves :)

Last week, one of my followers asked me the difference between MAYBE and PERHAPS. It's a good question, since we continuously use both without taking into account if one is better than the other.
The answer is that the difference is really slight (pequeña). Perhaps is more formal and we may use it when writing. Maybe is less formal and it is used in conversation. 
However, perhaps is accepted in conversations, too. So, both have the same meaning and we could even use the same way. If you want to write something formal, use PERHAPS. If not, it's your choice!

Yesterday, I came across a song by Bruno Mars that I really loved. Do you know Bruno Mars? He's one of my favourite singers. I will tell you about him soon. This song is called COUNT ON ME (Cuenta conmigo) and the lyrics are fantastic. I want to leave you a videoclip where you'll listen to the original song but you'll see the translation into Spanish. It's a good activity to relate the languages.

I hope you like it!

TRIP OR JOURNEY?

An eternal question is: 
What's the difference between trip and journey?

In Spanish, we say "viaje" without taking into account if the "viaje" is long or short.
Well, in English, TRIP is used when we travel short distances. It is usually used when travelling  the same day. Imagine you are at a hotel and they organize a trip to see something around. For example: "The trip to El Monasterio de Piedra was amazing!"

JOURNEY describes travelling long distances. Example: "The journey from Spain to Germany is a three-day journey. Don't you prefer the plane?"

And TRAVEL is the general word used to say "viajar".

And you, are you travelling somewhere this month?

NICE POEM TO MAKE YOU SMILE.

SUMMER IS HERE!

Welcome summer!

It's been so many months working, studying, writing, reading, listening to the teachers...Now, it's time to enjoy and travel somewhere. 

Have you decided your destination? 

Perhaps your village, the beach, mountain, another city...I know some people who are travelling abroad (al extranjero). 

When summer comes, there is always a song coming to my mind. It belongs to a Danish band group, which became really famous in the 1990s. Their name is AQUA and I love their songs! Around the World is a song about travelling to different places around the world.





But, the most famous and important song from this group is, without any doubt, BARBIE GIRL. I recommend you to listen to it and watch the video. You'll have good time :). I promise.




And...if you are travelling abroad, remember that ENGLISH IS EVERYWHERE and you'll need to use it all the time. HAPPY JULY!
