Hello to my new students in Jerez

I want to say a big hello to my new students in EOI Jerez. I hope both you and I can have a fruitful year, and learn a lot from each other. And just to start with a bit of humour, this is a amusing video about English learning. I hope you don't have so many problems as this poor man apparently has.

To my students in Lebrija
