¡¡¡ Habla Mientras Comes !!!


If you live in Bogota, this Saturday August 3rd you will have the opportunity to practice your English in 
a  cool restaurant enviroment.

So next time you want to eat something delicious, 
you will know how to ask for it. 

Here's a step ahead of common expressions used to ask for food:
  • Could I  see the menu, please?
  • Could I see the wine list, please?
  • Do you have any specials?
  • What's the soup of the day?
  • I'll have chicken breast.
  • I'll have a glass of wine.
After you eat your meal, you can also ask for a delicious dessert:
Could I see the dessert menu?

When the waiter comes by and ask if  you would like something else, you could answer: 
" No, thanks, just the bill" or 
" No, thanks, I think that's all for  tonight  "

Finally, you can also ask the server:

Do you take credit cards?
Is service included?

Compartimos contigo el Tour por la Carrera Séptima

Una maravillosa tarde de domingo 
July 7th, 2013


Un día de sol enmarcó nuestro gran recorrido por la Carrera Séptima.  Un cielo azul nos permitió interactuar con vocabulario interesante acerca de esta zona de Bogotá.

Some curious facts for you that were told during the tour.

  • Do you know that number four in the clock of one of the two towers is like this IIII  instead of IV? It is like this because  Louis XIV, king of France, who preferred IIII over IV, ordered his clockmakers to produce clocks with IIII and not IV, and thus it has remained.
  • The Statue of Simóm Bolívar was sculptured in 1846 by the Italian Pietro Tenerani, which was the first ever public monument in the city.
  • In 1950, Plaza de Bolivar (Bolivar Square) became a public parking lot with some fountains and markets.



At 2.10pm our English tour started  with some interaction with the invited native English Spoken Teachers:


An American Teacher








An Australian Teacher



 A British Teacher




      A Canadian Teacher










During the tour, we could do some fun things such as learning how to juggle thanks to our American teacher.



There were great learning moments and all the participants had meaningful experiences.













The tour finished  at  4:00pm at Rosario Square with lots of wonderful memories about it , not only for the participants but also  for teachers and organizers.

Hope you can join us in our Next Interactive Experience.
