Do you know the difference between the Preterito perfecto and the Indefinido?
El mes pasado me (inscribir-yo) ____ en el polideportivo de mi barrio. Como no (recibir-yo) ____ ninguna confirmación, hace 3 días (llamar-yo) ____ por teléfono para ver si mi inscripción estaba en regla. Entonces la secretaria (mirar-ella) ____ en el ordenador y me (decir-ella) ____ : "Ya (introducir/yo) ____ tus datos y tu nombre no (aparecer-él) ____ “¿Estás seguro de que te (registrarse-tú) ____ correctamente? ”. Yo (responder) ____: “Claro que sí. ¿De verdad no (encontrar/tú) ____ a nadie en la lista con el apellido Martinez?”». Al final todo fue un error. Menos mal!
Last month I enrolled the sports centre in my neighbourhood. As I didn't receive any confirmation, 3 days ago I called them to check if my registration was ok. The secretary had a look at the computer and said: "I have already introduced your details and your name didn't show up. Are you sure you did the registration properly?" I answered: "Of course I did. Are you sure you haven't found anybody called Martinez?". Finally it turns out everything was a mistake. Just as well!

French&Spanish lessons
I teach: French, Spanish
I’m French, currently living in the Netherlands.I lived in Paris for almost twenty years, and I know very well my country (and of course... my language, French, my mother tongue). I taught French for two years in Spain, conversation class about culture essentially.In Paris, I was Spanish teacher, I have the Agregation degree which is the highest degree for teaching in France, I'm bilingual. I've participated too in several editorial projects about Spanish teaching and DELE preparation. I have a Spanish Studies Master and I'm currently doing a research about the Spanish and Sefardi Judaism. I have a French as foreign language and a Religious Studies Masters too. I enjoy sharing what I know. I’m a very eclectic person and curious about everything. To give you an idea, my interest (and sometimes hobbies) are: philosophy, spirituality and religions in general, meditation, psychology and psychoanalysis, history, geography, literature, writing (in particular creative writing, and I’m used to write everyday), art (painting, photography), sciences (vulgarisation level) and cultural matters in general. I travel a lot (as a backpacker), sometimes by foot, and the places I know well are France, the Netherlands, Italy and Serbia.One of my qualities is my capacity of adaptation, I enjoy preparing documents to help the student to acquire autonomy, but I love speaking too, and it’s the best way to learn a language.I'm waiting for your message, please when contact me, explain quickly who you are, why you want to study French and what you are looking for exactly.See you soon.

Italian, English, Spanish Private Lessons for Everybody
I teach: English, Italian, Spanish
Dear all,Would you like to learn a new language such as Italian, English or Spanish in a smooth, accessible and fun way? Then, it would be a... great idea to embark on an exciting journey together!My big priority is to make sure that my students will learn a new language and get much more familiar with a new culture as fast as possible by doing dynamic and funny activities which suit everyone’s needs and passions. Song lyrics, texts from your favourite books, literature, parts of movies, news, TV series, traditional recipes may be only some of the instruments that we can use in order to make the learning process more efficient and focused on using the new language in different fields.I have a Bachelor’s degree in Languages and Literature from the University of Verona (Italy) and a Master’s Degree, cum Laude, in Languages and Media from the University ‘Cattolica’ in Milan (Italy) and Chapman University in Orange, California (USA).If you are a proper beginner, if you already know a few words but you don’t dare to speak to anyone yet, if you are already very confident with the language but you still want to get to a higher level of proficiency, if you want to know better about one of these cultures, than this is a perfect course for you.A nice introductory chat can help both of us to understand which is the starting level and which is the goal of the course in order to tailor a proper class according to your need.Join the course and you will be immediately immersed in a new culture and in a heartbeat you will speak a new language!See you soon!Maddalena Read more
