This is not a "Silly the Bean" post!!!

Good morning! It is a beautiful summer day and that is no reason why we shouldn't go on with the challenging and amazing task of learning English. More often than not, you will hear people saying that it is vocabulary that shows your level of English. It is partially true. Once you have reached an intermediate level of grammar, more vocabulary is definitely the thing to make the difference, as you will find it easier to express yourself!
I have to suggest my "Silly the Bean" blog for those who would like to learn idoms and funny expressions to sound more native-like wearing a smile :D
The following video by Daniel Welsh, @MadridESL, explains some English proverbs and sayings. 


On top of that, if you were left wanting more and more, your wish is my command ;)

We Live in the UK: an activity for beginners

I tend to post activities for intermetdiate and advanced learners, but I guess that I should try and balance my proposals by including more basic English for those with an elementary level.
Click here to start
I found this listening excercise about the UK for those willing to do some practice!

WE LIVE IN THE UK was designed and posted by the British Council. You'll have to watch a short clip and then answer some questions. After that, vocabulary and grammar related to this topic will be delivered.
  
Ready for the challenge?
