Libre à qui le souhaite de tisser ici ses propres
fils avec ceux d'un blog à la trame dessinée par l'anglais et son univers. Orientés par exemple par l'histoire, l'humour, la musique ou le cinéma ses vidéos, textes, sons, illustrations -etc-
viennent y prolonger les thèmes explorés en cours, et j'y publie des ressources conçues pour enrichir la pratique de la langue. S'il peut devenir outil de progression, je souhaite aussi
qu'il vous procure plaisir et parfois même amusement... why not ?!

Visual learners will benefit from this mind map most...

You may all know Hugh Laurie, the lead actor in "Dr House" series...
In this short video clip from an awarding ceremony, the actor plays the interpreter of Helen Mirren into French. He seems to be getting on her nerves quite fast, thus she makes it difficult for him ... though in the end it's nothing but self-derision :o)

Besides, theUrban Slang Dictionaryalready names such storms snowpocalypses ! How about contemplating an immaculate Washington ?Here it is, on the video :
Mark Twain's conclusion would have been "everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it"!
"This report uses recent economic modelling to relate cognitive skills – as measured by PISA and other international instruments – to economic growth."
