EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

***********************

¿Existe mejor día que hoy, Día Europeo de las Lenguas, para retomar "English@Edrissis" después del parón veraniego, darle la bienvenida a los que se asoman por vez primera a este blog y desearle suerte a los que inician el nuevo curso escolar 2011/2012?

***********************

Today, 26th September, is the European Day of Languages. 

So, you are invited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European Day of Languages - if you wish.

Can you think of a better day to start using again this blog "English @Edrissis"?

Welcome:

* to all my students of this new school year, and 

* to my new European friends, after presenting "English@Edrissis" in Italy, during the Study Visit   (Group  nº 71) "USING ICT IN EDUCATION", to experts from 15 different countries (CYPRUS, CZECH REPUBLIC, ENGLAND, FINLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, ITALY, LITHUANIA, NORTHERN IRELAND, NORWAY, POLAND, ROMANIA, SLOVENIA, SWEDEN and TURKEY).

In my opinion, there is not a better day to welcome you all !!

So, as the Italian says,...

... Benvenuti !!

A warming-up activity:

As an "ice-breaker", let's do the following activity

to celebrate this European Day of Languages :

In the following video, you can listen to my wish for this new school year 2011/2012. 

Don't worry. They are only 2 words.

Did you get the 2 words? 

Now, in pairs, can you guess how do they say that wish in each of the 15 countries previously mentioned?

        Iyi şanslar           Buena Suerte           Good luck       Powodzenia        Sėkmės

             
   Lykke til      Kali Tichi      Lycka till      Veliko sreče     Bonne chance      Noroc     
     


          Hodně štěstí       Adh mor ort         Onnea       Viel Glück        Buona fortuna


 

   How many can you match while listening to "Contradanza", by The Planets?

(You have 3 minutes and 14 seconds).

Now you can watch the video, after having completed the previous task.

Please, Pay attention to the Lyrics of "Contradanza".
