Monday is a national holiday.  We celebrate George Washington's birthday and others.  Don't come to school.  Well, you can come, but I won't be there.  You will have to study outside on a bench. ;-)

Welcome to our Spring semester!

Welcome to our spring semester. I use this "blog" to help you study at home. The links to other ESL websites are very useful for practicing your listening, reading, grammar, and even speaking. Please use them. If you only study English during class time, you will not learn quickly.
