Profile
For nearly 20 years, my main job has been teaching languages. I have taught both English and Spanish, as well as some Hebrew and American Sign Language. I’ve worked in the United States and Mexico. Most of my experience has been in a bilingual elementary school, but I have also taught middle school and adults. I have always enjoyed getting to know my students and learning from them. It is exciting helping students develop tangible and useful skills, skills that will broaden their horizons and help them better understand and appreciate other people and cultures. When I’m not teaching or learning languages, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, cooking, eating, playing musical instruments, singing, juggling, dancing, exploring nature, and playing sports. I am very proud to be raising two bilingual sons: Marcelo who is almost 12 years old and Mariano who is 7 years old. Por casi 20 años, he enseñado inglés y español, además de un poco de hebreo señas de sordomudos. He trabajado en México y en los Estados Unidos. La mayoría de mi experiencia fue en una primaria bilingüe, pero también he trabajado en secundarias y con adultos. Siempre he disfrutado conocer a mis alumnos y aprender de ellos. Es emocionante ayudarles a desarrollar habilidades tangibles y útiles, habilidades que amplían sus oportunidades y les ayuda a mejor entender y apreciar diferentes culturas. Cuando no estoy estudiando o aprendiendo idiomas, disfruto pasar tiempo con mi familia, leer, cocinar, comer, tocar instrumentos, cantar, hacer malabares, bailar, explorar lugares naturales, y practicar deportes. Me enorgullezco de estar criando dos hijos bilingües: Marcelo que ya mero cumple 12 años y Mariano que tiene 7 años.

    My wife is Mexican and hard of hearing, so we watch almost everything (selections originally in Spanish as well as programs and movies originally in English) with Spanish subtitles. That can be very helpful for reinforcing what you already know and expanding your vocabulary. "La misma luna" was a sweet movie in Spanish that is fairly easy to understand.

    Yes, all examples sound natural. We’ll have many fun activities in the new term. We’ll have many fun activities in this new term. (with "in") We’ll have many fun activities this new term. (without "in" -- my preference)

    All are correct. However, in my part of the US, I would say a "sports meeting."

    I would just say "music festival". If there were a festival that had another focus, but also included music, you might say something like: "Surprisingly, it was a very musical festival. There were musicians and other performers adding to the festivities almost all of the time."

    Yes, it makes sense, though it sounds a bit aggressive and rather cocky (like you think you're better than others). You could also say "Keep in mind what you just said because I'm going to prove you wrong."

    I assume he means "freedom of expression" which means the ideal (protected for all US citizens in the first US constitutional amendment) that we all have the right to express our ideas and feelings even if others don't like what we have to say. Many people have protested some rap music because it may be violent, misogynistic, profane or offensive in other ways. Others respond saying that you don't have to listen to it, and the creators have the right to freedom of speech and expression.

    That sounds odd to me. I would write: She truly didn't do anything wrong. without commas in this case

    I would say "free of" although "free from" also sounds fine to me. Actually, I would rewrite the sentence: Since the far side of the moon is quiet and not affected by electromagnetic interference from the earth, it is an excellent place to set up a recording studio. In addition, rents there are quite inexpensive, and you will never be troubled by religious fanatics or traveling salesman knocking on your door. However, if you enjoy gardening, the soil is lacking in basic nutrients and I would urge you to consider setting up your studio on Mars or Venus. You wrote "quite" and I believe you meant "quiet".

    My friend said he would not **or wouldn't** get to my house until 2:00 p.m. Now, my sister and I are in a grocery store . It's 1:55 p.m. It is fine to say "My friend should arrive at our home by now, let's hurry!" I would probably say "My friend should be arriving at our home by now. Let's hurry!" "My friend will probably arrive at our home in five minutes. Let's hurry!"

    You could say Do you want to play some games? (plural) or Do you want to play a game? (singular)
