unos días visité Duolingo </span><a href="https://www.duolingo.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">https://www.duolingo.com/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">
. Este proyecto dotado con 18,3$ d</span></span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">esde
mi punto de vista parte de un mal comienzo: la traducción. Se basa
en aprender idiomas traduciendo frases de una lengua a otra. Eso puede ser apropiado para aprobar examenes pero no para dominar una segunda lengua. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lo
mismo puede decirse de Rosetta Stone </span><a href="http://www.rosettastone.es/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.rosettastone.es/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">
, Babbel </span><a href="http://es.babbel.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://es.babbel.com/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> y
otros muchos famosisimos.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><strong><em>A few days ago I visited Duolingo which is a project provided with $18.3. From my viewpoint this is fully flawed since it is about translating sentences from a given language into another which is OK if you need to pass an exam yet it is way too far from mastering a second language. The same goes to Rosetta Stone, Babbel and other well-known ones.</em></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Y
de repente te tropiezas con un tipo divertido, familiar, como si lo
conocieses de hace años, ese amigo que hubieses querido tener...y
con una camara particular...en un pequeño apartamento...con unos
recursos caseros...una pizarra...sin marketing...produciendo el 90%
de su trabajo GRATIS...¿ Y es ése el método que estaba buscando?
¿Cómo es posible?.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Pues
sí, Sr Peterson (Shane), su obra es mucho mejor que proyectos de
millones de dólares. Pero lo que puede ser un orgullo para usted,
tambíen es una preocupación para mí. Y el motivo es que se siguen
enseñando mal los idiomas: desde la misma escuela y siguiendo por
enseñanzas superiores, o como hemos visto, a través de grandes
compañías.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">And then you bump into an entertaining guy, familiar, as if you had known him for years, the kind of friend you'd like to have who with the help of a plain camera in his apartment and a white board as a background, produces 90% of his body of work for FREE, as introducing the kind of method you really are fully satisfied with. Is that it, how come?!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">That's right Mr Peterson. Your method is much better than projects provided with millions of dollars. But what it is to be taken pride in for you may be something to be worried about for me and the reason is that they keep using the wrong approach from primary school to higher education and also through big companies. </span></em></strong><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hoy en día los niños empiezan a estudiar inglés con 3 años en las escuelas públicas. Dado que la educación es obligatoria en España de los 6 a los 16 años, los niños estudian inglés durante 13 años, que deberían ser más que suficientes para, al menos, tener un conocimiento intermedio y poderse manejar en conversaciones "normales" o del día a día.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">These days kids get started learning English from the age of 3 in the Public schools. Since Schooling in Spain is compulsory from the ages of 6 to 16, kids spend 13 years learning English, which should be enough to be able to keep a day-to-day conversation. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anteriormente, la iniciación a la lengua extranjera se hacía a los 12 años. Esto significa que se ha aumentado considerablemente el horario lectivo en esta materia. La cuestión es si va acompañada de resultados, o bien, si los resultados obtenidos compensan los recursos empleados.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Parece ser que no. Veamos los defectos y posibles soluciones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Back in the day kids were introduced to the foreign language at the age of 12. This means that the amount of hours invested in this subject has increased dramatically. The thing is if it comes with results, or, the outcomes counterbalance the resources that have been used. </span></i><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i>I don't think so. Let's look at the flaws and possible solutions.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Una lengua se aprende mejor cuanto más temprano. Por lo tanto habría que dedicar gran parte del esfuerzo en la educación primaria (3-12 años) y especialmente en los primeros años. En esta etapa debería prescindirse absolutamente de la gramática y dedicarse al la escucha del idioma. En internet existen innumerables recursos gratis -y otros comerciales que se podrían contratar-: dibujos animados, películas, juegos en flash, canciones...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">When it comes to learning a foreign language, the earlier you begin, the better. Therefore the greatest endeavor should be carried out through both Pre-School and Primary School (3-12) particularly during the early years. During this time developing the listening skills should be put on the front burner as doing away with grammar. On the internet there is lots of both free material and for a fee .</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">En nuestro país pasan los cursos uno tras otro y los niños siempre están estudiando lo mismo: números, colores, el verbo To Be etc. Se da el caso de profesores de inglés que ni siquiera saben hablar bien ese idioma (por supuesto lo dominan sobre el papel).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">In</span> <span style="font-size: large;">our country (Spain) kids are taught the same year in year out: numbers, colors, verb To Be etc. Sometimes teachers don't even know how to speak fluently in a given language. Of course, they have no problems with it on paper.</span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Al llegar a la secundaria (13-16 años) debería basarse el sistema en la escucha y la pronunciación y a mantener conversaciones normales.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Veamos el sistema finlandés, el mejor del mundo. Se trata de un documental en inglés subtitulado al español donde un profesor norteamericano acude a ese país para ver donde radica su éxito:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/qkRREVchgpg?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">In Secondary School (13-16) they should work on listening and pronunciation aimed for being able to keep casual, day-to-day discussions. </span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i><span style="color: blue;">Let's look at the Finnish system, so called the best in the world. It's a documentary in English with Spanish subtitles where an American teacher travels to Finland to check what its success lies in: </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Da gusto oír a esos adolescente expresarse en inglés, cuando aquí no pasan del "present perfect"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Existen buenas herramientas en internet. Un gran ejemplo: Daily Dictation es un excelente recurso. Hoy muchas aulas disponen de pizarra electrónica y proyectores y conexión a internet -se puede descargar y poner en cualquier TV-. se podría trabajar 10- 15 minutos usando recursos como <b><u>Daily Dictation</u></b> y el resto de la clase comentando y ampliando los videos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He aquí un ejemplo de Shane (Coach Shane) en Seul. Obviamente esta destinado a coreanos aunque nos poedemos hacer una idea.(más abajo)</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">I</span><span style="font-size: large;">t</span></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">'s delightful hearing those youngsters expressing themselves in English, while in Spain they don't go beyond the ''Present Perfect''. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">There are nice tool on the Internet. A case in point: <u><b>Daily </b></u><b><u>Dictation.</u></b> It is a top shelf tool. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">These days classrooms have all kinds of thechological resources available. They may take advantage of things like Daily Dictation by downloading it and showing it on a TV screen. They may work using something like Daily Dictation for 10 - 15 minutes and for the rest of the class they may elaborate over it.</span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/wn-w63ePDVc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here an example with Shane - Coach Shane - in Seoul. Obivously it is aimed at Koreans, although we get the picture.</span></i><br />
<div>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/R-PeihWz5Ew?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Además debería estimularse el intercambio entre alumnos de los países de lengua española e inglesa, tanto real como virtualmente (mediante convenios, redes sociales educativas, veraneos... por ejemplo).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lo que está claro es que el sistema actual no parece el mejor método para el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. El método gramatical ya se sabe que no es el adecuado. Existen herramientas, hay un gran número de horas lectivas, y cambiando la forma de enseñanza deberíamos obtener mejores resultados. Y no podemos esperar generaciones... ¡ Refundemos el sistema ! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The exchange among Spanish speaking students and English speaking students should be encouraged, through (agreements, educational social networking ...) </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The current system is definitely not the way to go when it comes to learning foreing languages. We already know that grammar doesn't work out. We have the tools. What are we waiting for?! Let's change the system!</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><em>Why is Coach Shane the native speaker you need?</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></em>
<span style="font-size: large;">No todo el mundo tiene la posibilidad de vivir en un país de habla inglesa; Inglaterra, Irlanda, Escocia, Gales, Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Estados Unidos para poder hablar inglés con nativos todos los días. Tener la posibilidad de hablar normalmente con nativos es una ventaja que podrá ayudarte a ganar confianza, pero... ¿te ayudará con tu pronunciación? ¿Crees que en el mundo real los angloparlantes van a corregir tu pronunciación, simplemente porque te preocupa? ¿Crees que los angloparlantes en el mundo real acaso se paran a pensar en cómo pronuncian? ¿Crees que los angloparlantes, van a tomarse la molestia de corregirte cada vez que te equivocas o pronuncias mal, dandote una charla de cómo tienes que hacerlo correctamente? Francamente, la respuesta a todas esas preguntas es NO. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;"><em>Not everyone has the chance to dwell in an English speaking country like England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, USA to get the possibility to talk with native speakers on a regular basis. Having the possibility to talk with native speakers on a regular basis is a perk which might help you build your English confidence, but... Will that really be helpful for your pronunciation? Do you believe that native speakers out there in the real world are going to be willing to correct your pronunciation just because it bothers you? Do you believe that native speakers out there even think about the sounds they make as they speak naturally in their day-to day life? Do you believe that native speakers out there are going to bother to correct you every time you mispronounce as lecturing you on how you need to do it properly? Honestly, the answer to all those questions is pretty much NO. </em></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Otra ventaja de vivir en un país angloparlante es que estas rodeado por palabras en inglés... grandes almacenes, transporte, television, radio... todo ello hace que te familiarizes con la cultura y su vocabulario, pero... de nuevo... ¿te ayudará eso a tu pronunciación?

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Coach Shane es el nativo que te ayuda a entender lo que ni los nativos en el mundo real ni los profesores de inglés no nativos....( y muchos nativos) no harán: Como hablan los nativos en realidad. Su método basado en unas reglas de pronunciación encajan con la realidad en un 90%. ¿Qué ocurre con el 10% restante? Bueno, son las excepciones que tienen todas las normas y no hay conflicto, en realidad pueden complementarse. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Coach Shane is that native English speaker, who will help you figure out what native speakers out there nor English teachers who are not native speakers - (and many natives too) - won't do. How the actual native talk works. His method is based on a bunch of rules which apply, match reality 90%. So what about the reminding 10%? Now, 10% represents the exception that proves the rule and turns out they don't clash, actually they pretty much are complementary. </i></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Algo fundamental es que debes ''hablar'', es decir, reproducir los sonidos y repetir cuanto más mejor. Es un proceso; aprende a reproducir y repetir los sonidos a la vez que ralentizas la velocidad. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cuando seas capaz de reproducir los sonidos junto con la entonación a una velocidad menor, estaras listo para intentarlo a su velocidad. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i>Speaking is key. You need to reproduce the sounds and repeat, the more, the better. It is a process. Get the pronunciation down while repeat as you slow it down.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i>Once you get to reproduce the sounds along with the proper intonation at a lower pace, you should be ready to try it at a normal pace.</i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Recuerda, para dominar el inglés es clave que domines la pronunciación. Para eso, tienes que ''hablar''. Por ''hablar'' no me refiero a una conversación cualquiera con un nativo. NO. Me refiero a que has de DECIR, REPRODUCIR, los textos que nos presenta Coach Shane, para ir configurando tu pronunciación. Recuerda, cuando trabajas la pronunciación, trabajas la comprensión oral. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Remember, in order for you to master English you need to master pronunciation. In order to master your pronunciation you have to ''speak''. By ''speak'' I don't mean random talk with a native speaker. NO. I mean you must SAY, REPRODUCE, the sounds in the lessons that Coach Shane presents to us so that we can build up our pronunciation skills. Remember, as you work on your pronunciation skills, you, also, build up your listening skills.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">En cuanto a la persona nativa; no sirve un nativo cualquiera. Tienes que encontrar al nativo idóneo. Y ese es Coach Shane, cuyo enfoque te dejará una huella profunda que notarás cuando escuches a otros nativos y desearás haberlo conocido mucho antes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sinceramente, si quieres mejorar tu inglés <u style="font-weight: bold;">todo se resume a </u> Pronuncuación.

<span style="font-size: large;">A finales de Agosto del pasado año (2013), me vi en la necesidad de refrescar mi inglés. Mi historia es como la de tantos españoles: 3 años de aprendizaje en la escuela y 4 de instituto con el mismo resultado que la mayoría: no puedo mantener una conversación con un nativo, ni entender las películas.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>In late August 2013 I found myself forced to brush up my English. My English journey was like so many Spaniards' : 3 years in Middle School plus 4 years in High School with the same outcome as most people: I am not able to keep a conversation with a native speaker, nor understand movies. </i></span></div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Me puse a buscar recursos en internet. Tengo experiencia con la informática, y además sabía lo que estaba buscando porque tengo ciertos conocimientos filológicos y entendía por qué fracasan la mayoría de los métodos de enseñanza (sobre todo en la educación pública): están basados principalmente en la gramática.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>I started surfing through the internet looking for good stuff. I was aware of what I was looking for since I have some knowledge on linguistics thus I understand why most English teaching methods fail (specially in the public education): They are focused primarily on grammar. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Encontré a Coach Shane por lo citado anteriormente: saber que buscaba + conocimiento en búsquedas + algo de suerte ( por qué no decirlo ). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I found Coach Shane since I did know what I was looking for.</i></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Si uno teclea directamente en Google o YouTube: método para aprender inglés, o cursos de inglés o algo por el estilo, no darás con los mejores. ¿ Por qué ?. Bueno, sencillamente porque, como en otros aspectos de la vida, hay mucho negocio generado alrededor de la enseñanza. Negocios que gastan grandes cantidades dinero en publicidad, y por ende, en posicionarse en los medios digitales. Pero ¿ son por ello los mejores ?. Pues en la mayoría de los casos la respuesta es... no.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>If you type in at Google or YouTube something like, ''method for English learning, or, English course, you will not find the best ones. Why is that? Well in my opinion this is because they spend a lot of money in marketing in order to position themselves in The Internet. But, are they the best? In most cases no, they are not.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">En España tenemos el caso de un Tejano que ha sabido, ha entendido nuestra idiosincrasia y sabe que nos gusta mucho que nos expliquen en nuestra propia lengua. Y ha triunfado. Pero sinceramente, no parece la mejor forma de enseñar una lengua.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">En otros anuncios de otros cursos de inglés para españoles se repite el procedimiento: nativos de lengua inglesa prometiéndonos en castellano con mal acento resultados en inglés. Y vaya si funciona comercialmente.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>In Spain, we have the example of a guy from Texas who has been able to figure out how to reach the Spaniards and knows how much we enjoy being tought in our own language. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>In other ads aimed to Spaniards we get English Native speakers speaking in Spanish as they guarantee us good results which from a marketing viewpoint works out fine.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;">El método de CoachShane es de inmersión directa: todo en inglés, como la vida real. Con una gran experiencia en la docencia, un carácter afable y un método reinventado y adaptado al S.XXI, ha conseguido, para mí y para mucha otra gente, estar entre los mejores.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Coach Shane's method gets right to the point: Every single thing in English, just like Real life. Coach Shane has a long experience teaching English, is entertaining along with a method that fits in with the 21st century. All that in my opinion and to many other people makes Shane be among the best.</i></span></div>

How long does it take to learn a language?<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Es
la pregunta que se hacen todos los estudiantes de una lengua. Aunque
no todas las personas son iguales, sí que se puede establecer una
media, como en las tablas que aparecen en las webs siguientes. Como
ven, ni siquiera coinciden, pero puede ser una muestra.</span></div>
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">That is what everyone who wants to learn a language wonders. Even though we don't have the same skills, it might be averaged as the links down below show. </span></i><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">En
la web <a href="http://www.fedeablogs.net/economia/?p=10593">http://www.fedeablogs.net/economia/?p=10593</a>
que está dirigida a americanos que quieren aprender otra lengua, se
dice que se puede llegar a tardar hasta 600 horas.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This link is referred to Americans who want to learn a foreign language. They say it might take you 600 hours. </i></span><br />

se dice que 200 horas por cada nivel. Como El Marco Común Europeo de
Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER) establece 6 niveles, tendríamos
1200 horas para el nivel más avanzado.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>According to this link it takes you about 200 hours for each level. As C.E.F.R. establishes 6 levels we would be talking about 1200 for the advanced level.</i></span></div>

se dice que 1000 horas para manejarnos y 5000 para “master”.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Finally, according to this link we need about 1000 hours to get by and 5000 hours to master it. </i></span></div>

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house<br />
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.<br />
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<br />
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.<br />
<br />
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.<br />
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,<br />
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.<br />
<br />
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
Away to the window I flew like a flash,<br />
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.<br />
<br />
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow<br />
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.<br />
<br />
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.<br />
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,<br />
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!<br />
<br />
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!<br />
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!<br />
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!<br />
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"<br />
<br />
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,<br />
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.<br />
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,<br />
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.<br />
<br />
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof<br />
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.<br />
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,<br />
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.<br />
<br />
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,<br />
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.<br />
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,<br />
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.<br />
<br />
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!<br />
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!<br />
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,<br />
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.<br />
<br />
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,<br />
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.<br />
He had a broad face and a little round belly,<br />
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!<br />
<br />
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,<br />
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!<br />
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,<br />
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.<br />
<br />
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br />
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.<br />
And laying his finger aside of his nose,<br />
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!<br />
<br />
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br />
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.<br />
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,<br />
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Estamos en pleno invierno - al menos en el hemisferio norte - y en muchos lugares del mundo hace bastante frío a pesar del calentamiento global..''Ehem..'' </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Por eso algunos tienen gripe y otros simple resfriados o constipados. Y con ellos vienen ataques de estorundos o tos. Uff sí es algo no muy agradable, ¿verdad? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Well, we find ourselves in the middle of winter - in the Nothern Hemisphere - and in so many places around the world it's freezing, despite global warming... ''ahem''</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">That's why some of us get flu or a severe cold. Additionally we go through sneeze fits and or cough fits Ugh not very nice, is it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Pero a veces cuando tenemos gripe o resfriados tenemos una excusa para no ser atosigados a agobiados o ''rallados'' --- Esta última es una expresión juvenil y típica en España. No creo que en Hispanoamérica signifique algo parecido.... Podemos ser atosigados por madre, esposas, novias, padres, esposos, novios, jefes.... Ahh! ¡Deja de agobiarme! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Sometimes as we're ill with flu or a cold we have a good excuse not to get nagged. We can get nagged by moms, wives, girlfriends, dads, husbands, boyfriends, bosses... Ah! Stop nagging me! Get off (of) my back!!! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">As you get recovered from flu or a severe cold everything gets back to normal and the nagging comes back too!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Es 24 de diciembre de 2013. Es Nochebuena. Buscando, echando un vistazo a la formidable ''videoteca'' Daily Dictation, encuentro una excelente historia que encaja perfectamente con lo que podríamos llamar ''espíritu navideño''. Es un gran episodio Daily Dictation en términos de pronunciación y cultura. Shane te explica con detalle de qué se trata (<em>13:20</em>). Toma nota del término: <strong>Layaway</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Yes it's Dec 24th thus it's Christmas Eve. Looking around through the amazing Daily Dictation ''video library'' I find this great story that fits perfectly what we call ''Christmas spirit''. It's a great DD episode in terms of pronunciation and culture. Shane breaks it down for you in his own fashion that we enjoy so much, don't we. Take note of this term: <strong>Layaway.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">La frase al margen superior izquierdo es la que Shane te muestra como ejemplo. Las vocales son siempre un problema para los hispanoparlantes. Presta atención repite y ''píllale el rollo'' a estos sonidos. Especialmente la diferencia entre <strong>''want'' </strong>y <strong>''won't''</strong> pues en inglés norteamericano son distintos. Entre los tres sonidos que quizás ''<strong>won't</strong>'' es el más distinto. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The sentence at the top left is what Shane presents to you as an example. The vowel sounds are always an issue to Spanish speakers. Listen carefully, repeat, get those sounds down. Specially the difference between ''<strong>want</strong>'' and ''<strong>won</strong>'<strong>t</strong>'' since in American English are very different. Maybe among those three sounds ''<strong>won't</strong>'' is what varies most. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Ve justo al minute 13:50. Una vez más Coach Shane pone a prueba tu comprensión oral con <em>Seinfeld.</em> Seinfeld es uno de las series más exitosas en los EEUU. Todo el mundo conoce Seinfeld es un verdadero referente cultural y es la serie que estudiamos en profundidad en <strong>DDM. </strong>Como el mismo Coach Shane dice es una ''mina de oro'' para aprender como es el inglés de verdad</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Go straitght to 13:50 to start the dictation. One more time Coach Shane, put your listening comprehension to the test using <em>Seinfeld</em>. Seinfeld is one of the most successful shows of all time in America. Everyone knows Seinfeld, it's just a true cultural model and it's the show we studied in depth in <strong>DDM</strong>. As Coach Shane says himself it's a ''gold mine'' when it comes to learning real English.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span lang=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hola a todos: esta es mi primera aportación al Blog de Miguel Angel, al cual le agradezco la posibilidad de participar.</span></span></div>
<span lang="">
</span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Este creo que va a ser el mejor consejo y la mejor publicación que pueda hacer. Y no voy a hablar del excelente método de Coach Shane para enseñar ingles. Eso espero poder hacerlo en próximas colaboraciones.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Acercarse a personas como Shane es acercarse a personas llenas de energía, positivas, optimistas y es al tipo de persona al cual debes arrimarte en la vida; en cualquier ámbito: profesores, compañeros de trabajo, amigos etc.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">En mi caso solo tarde unos minutos en empatizar con él. Es como si ya lo hubiese conocido. Debe ser lo que llaman magnetismo: atrae desde el primer momento.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Es que es mucho más que un profesor (coach -instructor-, como a él le gusta denominarse). Con él aprenderás, por supuesto, inglés, pero también historia, filosofía, actualidad, harás amigos y mucho mas.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
</div>
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">He buscado y encontrado muchísimos recursos en la red, cientos, pero me quedo con un par de ellos. La gran mayoría son aburridísimas webs donde te cuentan cosas que no se oyen en la vida real, temas que no están en la vida real. </span></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Yo estoy encantado con Coach Shane y sus canales. Hace unos 4 meses que lo sigo. Puedo asegurarte que he notado una gran mejoría. Partía de un nivel bajo y empiezo a acercarme a uno medio, aunque eso sí, dedico todo el tiempo que puedo -unas 2 horas al día-.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Si te puedo garantizar algo: con Shane no te aburrirás. Por supuesto que no tiene poderes mágicos y no vas aprender perfectamente a hablar en, digamos, 3 meses. Se requiere esfuerzo y constancia, pero cuando te diviertes el esfuerzo se transforma en impaciencia por una nueva lección.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
</div>
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Acabo repitiéndote lo que para mí es la esencia de este post y de los siguientes que pueda escribir: acércate a estas personas y verás como tu mundo cambia a mejor</span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hi everyone: Here's my first post to Miguel's blog who I thank for having me among his collaborators. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I think this one might be my best both piece of advice and post I am able to bring on. I am not going to talk about Coach Shane's awesome English teaching method. I hope to do it in the future though. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Shane is the kind of person you should approach in life: Full of energy, positive, optimist... whether we are talking about teachers, coworkers or friends~~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">In my personal experience it just took me a few minutes to click with him. It is as if I had known him. It must be what they call ''charisma''. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">There is much more to Shane than just a plain English teacher or <em><strong>coach</strong></em> that is the way he likes to call himself. With him you will learn English, of course, yet also history, philosophy, topical issues, you will make friends and much more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I have searched and found lots of English teaching sites on line, hundreds, yet I stick with a couple of them. Most of them are REALLY boring where you hear about things that have little to do with the real deal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I am very happy with Shane and his channels. I have followed him for 4 months. I can tell I have improved very much. I had a low level of listening comprehension and now I am getting close to intermediate. Of course I work on it as much as I can which is 2 hours every day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I can assure you something: Following Shane will not be boring at all. He doesn't do magic on you. You will not mastering English in, say, 3 months time. It takes lots of practice and perseverance yet when you have fun you want to make efforts and even get ants in your pants to get into the next lesson. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Once again, the bottom line of this post is: Just approach these kinds of people and see how your life changes for the better. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">¿Qué harías si pudieses empezar tu vida desde cero otra vez? Empezarla de nuevo ''<strong><em>Do it over'' </em></strong>Me refiero a ser tú, pero sabiendo lo que sabes ahora. Sería interesante, ¿verdad? Bueno puedes ahorrarte tu lista <strong><em>the list of do overs</em></strong> porque es un sueño que no se hará realidad jamas... al menos, literalmente.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">What if you could start your life from scratch? <strong>Do it over</strong>. I mean being yourself, knowing what you know today. That would be interesting, right? Now you can save your list of do-overs since that's a dream that will never come true, at least, literally. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Si alguien es honesto/a contigo y te dice que algo es mejorable, que lo intentes de nuevo, tal vez no deberías tomártelo mal porque tal vez esa crítica podría ayudarte a mantenerte alerta <strong><em>keep on your toes. </em></strong>Tal vez esa persona lo hizo con buena intención.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If someone is honest with you and tells you that something can be improved, do it over, maybe you shouldn't take it hard because that feedback might help you <strong><em>keep on your toes</em></strong>. Maybe that person's intentions are good. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Primero para escuchar DD75 ve justo al minuto<strong>7:26</strong> en adelante.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Es bastante dificil, no solo por la velocidad sino por los términos empleados. Este es un claro ejemplo de pronunciación - comprensión auditiva y cultura - vocabulario. Esos dos bloques constituyen lo más importante a la hora de dominar el ingles:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pronunciación - Comprensión auditiva </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cultura - Vocabulario: <strong>12k, 5k, Kid Dash...</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">Esos dos elementos son la base del método de Coach Shane. Y Coach Shane es el mejor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Para las respuestas y explicación solo tienes que ir al video 76. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">DD 50 es un tanto especial por dos motivos; Es acento inglés y no algo complejo. Pero para eso estamos aquí, ¿no?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Personalmente NO SOPORTO el acento inglés, pero es bueno escuchar diferentes acentos. Coach Shane se centra en inglés de EEUU. Incluso en EEUU todos los acentos no son iguales. Lo importante es que aprendamos a dominar el brillante método de cancelaciones y conexiones de Coach Shane. Una vez más con eso y PRACTICA, mucha práctica se torna cada vez más y más fácil. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">DD 50 is kinda special for two reasons. It's English accent and the dialog has an expression you might not know yet. That's why we are here, right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Personally I can't just stand the English accent, that's one man's opinion and it's good for us expose ourselves to different sounds once in a while. Coach Shane focuses on American English. Now even within USA you get different sounds. The bottom line here is that we manage to MASTER the brilliant Coach Shane's method. Once we get it down, we must practice A LOT, then it becomes easier and easier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">The story is about an English kid that decides to leave home and go to America! because it's growing on him. What a coincidence! we have the same taste!</span><br />
