Happy New Year! This week I have chosen a silent video which shows just how quickly a year goes by. In the words of Pink Floyd, "Every year is getting shorter, you never seem to find the time, plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines..." Of course we all know that time is relative. If you are bored out of your mind time seems to stand still so that you can indulge in self pity. If you are having a great time, then time speeds up so that you don't get carried away. In the words of the Grateful Dead, "Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there!"
May 2009 fly by for you! And may it be far better than all of the predictions--at least for you!

Video of the Week--Merry Xmas Everyone!
Well, Christmas week is here and here is a video that should take some of us back to a simpler time. A time when Bob and Doug Mckenzie ruled the airwaves. It seems they're going to make a comeback in 2009. Let's wait and see if they do. In the meantime here is their Christmas message to you. Enjoy.

Video of the Week
Hello Everyone,
After a brief sojourn I'm back. Although I fully intend to keep writing about language learning and skills, I was struck by an idea. Why not start a Video of the Week rubric? There are so many interesting things on Youtube which you can watch and learn from. Of course there's a lot of rubbish too, it's a question of selecting. Sometimes things get hectic and there just isn't enough time to write a complete entry but there SHOULD be time to at least embed a video and perhaps that will keep people coming back....or not, if one writes mainly for oneself then one is always guaranteed at least ONE reader!
Well, I'd like to start this off with a video recommended by a former student and a current friend. This video has some profound truths that everyone should be aware of, so that 2015 won't come as such a surprise! As always, please post comments or opinions on this or any other matter, everyone enjoys getting feedback, whether it's favourable or otherwise!
Have a great day,
Fernando
PS: Tiago, you'll have to wait another couple of days!
