PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH

First things first, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to every reader and follower of the blog! 2010 has been a very interesting year, from the first European countries being rescued due to the debt crisis to the ash-cloud that stopped the entire World.

Not everything has been bad in 2010; during this year there have been some major discoveries that will guarantee the future of humankind, like for instance some famous YouTube series on this blog, best known as VocaTube and GrammaTube (this is obviously written to add a touch of humour to close 2010) :)

We’d like to close 2010 with a last post from the VocaTube series (season finale and not series finale **) that contains a big variety of English vocabulary related to Christmas so you can start getting yourself into the Christmas spirit!

Remember that vocabulary can only be improved with practice and through listening repetitively. It’s difficult for everyone to understand from the beginning but you’ll notice that the more hours you listen, the better your understanding.
