Dear Jennifer,
Hereby I kindly invite you to take part in a meme game that is running all around the blogosphere. I have been invited by Barbara Dieu. So basically, the idea is for each blogger who accepts the invitation to reveal five things most people don’t know about them and then to pass the ball to five other bloggers by tagging them.
Hope to read your posting soon.
Warm regards,
Janos (member of the openwebpublishing course)
Hi Jennifer … I am also an EFL teacher trainer but in Mexico …
¡¡Hola, Jennifer!!
Me levanté ayer y pensé: “¿Qué será de la vida de Jennifer?”. Entonces, te googleé y ¡apareciste con este emprendimiento maravilloso de ARCALL! Te felicito, voy a seguir leyendo bien todo este emprendimiento, y bueno, quería decirte que siempre recuerdo tus magníficas clases, el material personalizado que me traías, tu pasión por la docencia y lo mucho que aprendí de vos.
Ahora, como traductora pública ya recibida, matriculada y todos los chiches, veo a la distancia cuánto influiste en mi formación.
Te mando un beso enorme, ¡y que sigan los éxitos!
