<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When a handful of Brits were asked to label the states in the U.S. this was the result:</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Q1ha99rWwB__6_UqAuRIper2RLy7J-OYvSkL7GlrI8VLnvhfqzLQyGeI0STPwcvD8_ywcMRlgqseX4jFWDvcHjaAL6UHHLiEUxGRkOx1mgWbgZBMr1AdHIayODWvKA3VQ9YML9OAkvY/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBM76FQ7kCAfnt2A6Dx8lqPFI3ObIj2BVPzfvTm-sW5ONQJTeqvLPaz2P_fisIfIKuAsnNaOQeFq_h4B4nnmOjt8QR0wnymDaPJ-Fwx5s4SP333QuJd4namSaWdJ8Zk8AXIXEbqQCSJ4E/s1600/british-students-asked-to-label-a-map-of-the-united-states-4.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBM76FQ7kCAfnt2A6Dx8lqPFI3ObIj2BVPzfvTm-sW5ONQJTeqvLPaz2P_fisIfIKuAsnNaOQeFq_h4B4nnmOjt8QR0wnymDaPJ-Fwx5s4SP333QuJd4namSaWdJ8Zk8AXIXEbqQCSJ4E/s320/british-students-asked-to-label-a-map-of-the-united-states-4.jpg" width="320" /></a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Q1ha99rWwB__6_UqAuRIper2RLy7J-OYvSkL7GlrI8VLnvhfqzLQyGeI0STPwcvD8_ywcMRlgqseX4jFWDvcHjaAL6UHHLiEUxGRkOx1mgWbgZBMr1AdHIayODWvKA3VQ9YML9OAkvY/s400/images.jpeg" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When several Americans were asked to label European countries the results were equally disastrous.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsR8DI0md7tsmzOB_AQWU7qLfYNPiXAG84NXwksApcs9Lr4nXXUFnOZjyGa0mWv2wOkklPOL3oxU1YruSkxa_G4Itr1nI2q9NvEybbpUs22qb56NF4OqOmwt4aL3OZbmM-dzspSedcOns/s1600/Europe_Map_by_USA_01.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsR8DI0md7tsmzOB_AQWU7qLfYNPiXAG84NXwksApcs9Lr4nXXUFnOZjyGa0mWv2wOkklPOL3oxU1YruSkxa_G4Itr1nI2q9NvEybbpUs22qb56NF4OqOmwt4aL3OZbmM-dzspSedcOns/s320/Europe_Map_by_USA_01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While it's true that not all Americans and Brits are totally clueless when it comes to geography; it is definitely something that we tend to forget if we haven't looked at a map since 5th grade social studies lessons.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't let that happen to you! Here are a few websites with interactive geography games:</div>

<br />
I thought I'd share some popular children's and young adult book authors with you because, as you already know, reading in English is one of the most enjoyable ways to expand your vocabulary and improve your language skills. When you started reading in Spanish, I'm sure you didn't start with Cervantes. The same goes for English! Start with adapted readers or children's books and then work your way up.<br />
<br />
<b>Shel Silverstein</b><br />
<br />
Poems are great because you can read them in one sitting and they can even be helpful for practicing pronunciation, intonation and rhythm when speaking!<br />

An English teacher in Brazil decided to make her students' lives easier by illustrating a few of the most popular idiomatic phrases in the English language. I thought you might enjoy them!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some people were a little bit confused about when to use "that" instead of "who" or "which". While we can of course use "that" when talking about people, animals or things, sometimes it may be better to use the relative pronouns "who" and "which". This video explains why.</span></div>
