“However, if there is one piece of advice that has stood the test of time for language learners around the world, it is this: speak, speak, speak.”

Una tarjeta de visita es una forma habitual que tienen los profesionales de intercambiar rápidamente información de contacto mientras establecen contactos o después de conocerse por primera vez. Es una forma importante de decir que estás dispuesto a que la persona a la que das la tarjeta se ponga en contacto contigo y que lo que pone en la tarjeta es cómo quieres que se pongan en contacto contigo. Las tarjetas de visita son pequeñas, elegantes y se pueden guardar en un tarjetero para intercambiarlas fácilmente. Para tener una tarjeta de visita sólida, es necesario que sea sencilla y llamativa al mismo tiempo, tanto en el mensaje como en el diseño.
“Similar to commas, Semicolons are an important punctuation mark that plays a key role in many English sentences. When you think of a semicolon, think of it being a slight pause in a sentence between the two main clauses or parts that should be separated as you would do with a comma. You will want to use the semicolon in between two independent clauses within a basic sentence and this is especially true if there is no coordinating conjunction being used such as and, or, but, etc.”
“The Comma is an integral part of any English language sentence and while it may not come up all the time, it is likely to come up many of your sentences especially if they are longer than 10 sentences. The comma helps us to avoid run-on sentences or sentences that are too long-winded, which will distract the reader, and take away from the meaning of your sentence(s). Commas should be used moderately to not to introduce many pauses within your sentences.”
"¿Qué es la norma SVO? se estará preguntando. Buena pregunta. SVO significa Sujeto - Verbo - Objeto, que es el orden cronológico en el que se forman las frases en inglés. Otros idiomas además del inglés pueden formar oraciones como Sujeto - Objeto - Verbo, Objeto - Verbo - Sujeto u Objeto - Sujeto - Verbo pero sólo para este idioma en particular que estamos aprendiendo que es el inglés, nos vamos a quedar con Sujeto - Verbo - Objeto y la regla SVO".
“Once you have learned to embrace your errors, the next key part of being an editor of your written English language work is to spot the mistakes. You need to become proficient in catching your mistakes, understanding why they were mistakes, and then fixing them. You are bound to make some mistakes with your English writing but the best way to get over that hurdle is to spot them, understand them, and fix them.”
“It's natural to make mistakes. As famous English poet Alexander Pope once wrote, "To err is human." To err or to make a mistake is unavoidable and the earlier you accept the fact, the faster you will be able to move on. If you can't acknowledge your mistake, you won't be able to fix it which will help you to become a better English learner. The 1st step in the process of improving your proficiency is realizing you are going to make mistakes and to be ready to correct them so that it does not happen again.”
“Many English language learners and students are taught from a young age to memorize, repeat, and regurgitate what they have been assigned by their teachers. When it comes to the main focus of English as a Second Language, there is a tendency for educators in this field to focus on having memorization be the main focal point for an English student’s language base when it should not be this way. Instead of memorization and repetition, we should instead focus on helping English language learners with utilization, which means putting the English grammar and vocabulary they have acquired for actual use.”
“It can be difficult to speak in front of another person when you are not so sure of your English abilities. You're probably comfortable when you talk to your family or your friends but you struggle to practice your English skills in front of random strangers. You're fine on the phone with your best friend and may have no problem talking to them one-on-one. You might even be comfortable speaking in front of a class to practice a dialogue that your teacher prepared for you.”

"Los nuevos estudiantes de lengua inglesa están destinados a cometer errores cuando practican sus destrezas y habilidades para mejorar su dominio. No hay nada malo en cometer errores, pero me gustaría compartir los cinco errores más comunes que son fácilmente corregibles dada mi experiencia en la enseñanza del inglés como segunda lengua. En lugar de dejar que estos errores continúen sin cesar, es importante que los profesores como yo corrijamos a nuestros alumnos de inmediato para no dejar que estos pequeños errores se conviertan en malos hábitos."
