Diario de un Profesor de Inglés
Para mis alumnos y visitantes. Ayuda para el autoaprendizaje de inglés.
Acerca de
My name: Paco Bazaga Calderón. I am a teacher of English at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid (Jesús Maestro).

Business English together with my interest in the Internet and computers determines the birth of this blog weBLOG.

I would like to try the chances of bringing the Internet into my lessons as a first step towards the promotion of autonomous learning of English among my pupils and the visitors here.

Also, I think this tool may well accompany my pupils in their weekly lessons as a walking stick in the mountains. In it they will find support, ideas, additional contents, etc. to the lessons.

Though it is my pupils and my lessons that I usually bear in mind when writing here, visitors are also welcome to join in and send any comments they find suitable.

Thanks in advance to all of them for their interest in this site.

WAS IT HELPFUL?
DO YOU AGREE?
THEY SAY THAT IN SPAIN WE ARE NOT EDUCATED TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC, DO YOU AGREE WITH IT?
 
Comentario:
I think that it is helpful to know that other people feel or have felt, as you, the nerves of speaking in public. I take also comfort from knowing that one can learn how to speak in public and improve it if necessary. I mean, this ability is not a gift that some people have and some do not.

In my opinion Spanish people don’t speak badly in public, but it is true that, in general, Spaniards don’t speak fluent English. Once I attended a meeting in Brussels and I felt embarrassed when our Spanish representative made his presentation, his English was so bad...!
