♠USEFUL PROVERBS♠

Not only could we find proverbs in Spanish, but also in English. By means of proverbs, we may know more about a country, since they are related to their culture. Today, I want to teach you three. You should use them ☺ (I write in brackets my particular meaning)

ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS (Menos hablar y más hacer)
No matter how much or how well you speak . What is really worth is what you do. I totally agree.

SHE/HE IS LIKE A CHATTERBOX (Es como un loro)

This is used to refer to a person who speaks a lot. For me, this is perfect. I am a chatterbox!

ROLL OFF LIKE WATER ON A DUCK'S BACK (eso me resbala, me da exáctamente igual)

I love this peculiar proverb. It is really graphic, hehe. When you don't care about what others say, you say that it rolls off like water on a duck's back. Of course, this is rather informal. 



Have a nice Monday!♥♥♥

◘◘◘KEEP CALM!!!◘◘◘

Keep calm and read this post. You'll enjoy!
This week, we have been working this famous quote at school. Students have invented a sentence according to their likes and preferences. 

Some of the posters. There are more!

But...do you know "Keep calm and..." origins? They began many years ago...

It was created more than 70 years ago by the British Information Council, when the Second World War started. Their aim was to encourage the British army in case there was a nazi attack. Bear in mind that "Keep calm" means "Mantén la calma", so it was a kind of "support" to the soldiers.

The poster had to be simple, colourful, with a clear typography and with the crown on the top. This crown belonged to King George VI.

There were three different posters that came to light:

1. Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will give us victory. (Tu valor, tu ánimo, tu resolución nos llevarán a la victoria)

2. Freedom is in peril. Defend it with all your might (La libertad corre peligro. Defiéndela con todas tus fuerzas)

3. Keep calm and carry on. THIS ONE IS THE MOST FAMOUS!

Wow!The origins are really interesting! In case you want to create your own poster, I'm giving you a webpage to try. You could show me your creations!

And now, some funny keepcalm posters for you to enjoy for a while.

STEREOTYPED NATIONALITIES

Stereotypes are sometimes really funny! We should not believe in them, since each person is unique buuut...you can't deny that people from a specific country share some common characteristics. ♦ Have a look at the chart and enjoy yourself with it! ♦

Welcome September!

After two short summer months...here comes September! This month has contradictory feelings. School and work begin, summer ends, routine appears, sun tanning is impossible...BUT it's also the month when autumn begins (my favourite season, by the way ♥) and we meet our friends again.

For you to know more about this month I have some facts that will arise a smile on your face. I promise ☺

♠ September comes from the Old Roman word "Septem". It means "siete" or seven. The reason is that in Roman calendar September is the seventh month of the year. For us, it is the ninth.

♠ September is one of the most popular months for births (nacimientos) (together with July and August). Amazing! ☺

♠ The Zodiac signs of people born in September are Virgo and Libra. My Zodiac sign is Libra, but my birthday is in October.

♠ In Australia and New Zealand, Father's Day is the first Sunday of September.

♠ In India, the 5th of September is TEACHER'S DAY. I love this day ♥♥♥!!!!

♠ September 9th Day is National Teddy Bear's Day.

♠ 12th September is CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE'S DAY. I have just found my favourite day of the year!

I hope you begin this new month with a big smile and ready to face everything.                              Welcome SEPTEMBER!
