Lo que más echo de menos de Colombia
Después de estar tanto tiempo en Inglaterra, hay varias cosas que extraño de Colombia. Aquí, les cuento todo…
Starting again in Spain
Meet Mick. Mick did what many people dream of, and left England to start a new life in Valencia, Spain. Being old friends from Valencia, we went to visit Mick and his family in their lovely country-side villa to the north of the city.
A (very short) linguistic history of Spanish
Every language has evolved other languages, and Spanish is no exception. From its roots as a Vulgar Latin dialect in Castilla to its current status as a global language, Spanish has been heavily influenced throughout its history by many other languages. Modern-day Spanish is a fascinating reflection of a multitude cultures and histories, from ancient Greek to English (and even Hungarian!).
