Dear all,

Do you like this painting? Do you know who painted it?

Have you read On the Road? Do you know what kind of paper Jack Kerouac used to write his novel?

Watch this video and be amazed at how genious minds worked in 1951 in New York.

Obama and Attenborough talk about the environment

Dear all,

Don't miss out this amazingly intense interview with Barack Obama and David Attenborough, in which they discuss about the environment. Whose English do you understand better? Obama's American or Attenborough's British?

Sir David Attenborough is worldwide recognised as one of the best naturalists and producers working for the BBC. Chances are that you have seen more than one of his documentaries.

Enjoy it!

Vincent

You say potato, I say potato...

Dear students,

Some of you told me in class you had never heard this song. Let's find a solution to that.

Two of the greatest musicians in the history of jazz get together for you: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Enjoy it!!!

Vincent

PS. Extra point if you give me the meaning of 'call the whole thing off'!
