Today began with a meeting at 10am with AGADEA.
My dad will be starting some Alzheimer workshops on Wednesday and we needed to do some preliminary tests. More like a questionnaire than a test.

Back at home now, doing some work whilst listening to Keane in the background.

Class today at 19:30

Got a wee headache. Gonna take it easy for a little while.
Will read a book until it is time to go to class.


Back from class.
Today we spent most of the time with a couple of listening and comprehension exercises.
A couple of YouTube videos, then answering a few questions about each.

There were very interesting videos, specially the second one.

I think that the main goal of the exercises was, more than just simply finding the literal answer to the questions, to answer them in your own words in a way that demonstrated that you did understand the answer and the points being made in the videos.
Also being able to 'discuss' the answers with your classmates.

We also talked at length about 'Lord of the Rings'! LOL (kidding)


Anyway, in the perchance that any of you, my esteemed classmates, is reading this ... I need help.

As some of you know, I commute to the classes from Boiro ... and someone mentioned that in Noia you have an 'English Speaking Cafe' or something to that effect; but it is a little bit out of the way for me.

The idea would be to start something like that in Boiro. An 'English Conversation Club' if you will.

So, is any of you aware of any similar activities in Boiro? Am I reinventing the wheel here?
How would you suggest I start publicising the club about?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

:)


And one more thing ... the jobs of the future are the ones that have not been invented yet.
And the arts ... there is always space for the arts!
