Hi! Dear Fredy, maybe you are at another level of English if you cannot understand our teachers.
Be sure that our teachers give us all details to understand better , and all their “soul”.
That’s why we love them very much.

As always new words and phrases to improve my English, as kegger, menace, waylay. So, kegger in my neighborhood are raro and I never need waylaying people outside because nothing ever menaced or menace my sweet home.
Thanks
Hi Tania
I doubt we are going to see snow this winter.
This year has been unusually wet over here with lots of rain and humidity, and the temperatures are too high.
These days around ten degrees C.
Bye
It is good
I have insomnia.
I can’t sleep a wink most nights , just toss and turn.
I might as we’ll make Sth out of it ,like learning some terminology for it.
Looking forward to it
Thanks
Hi! It’s colder in my country, about zero up to plus 3 Celsius degees.
High in the mountains there are bellow zero Celsius degees and a little snow.
But in the South, with mediteranian influence , there are and seven Celsius degees.
For the moment we have yellow code for raining.
Thank you, Dan.
