We have already learned the specific vocabulary we need to talk about the Coronavirus disease, and what we should do to stay safe. We had the chance to reflect on maybe, the underlying meaning of it, and learned what is right now the only vaccine for it.

Now, we need music! Music can help us a lot to go through this difficult time.

“One day we’ll remember the hardest of times when distance meant love and it kept us alive ” We are living scary times. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic “Andrà Tutto Bene” is a message of hope and courage for everyone around the globe. To the doctors, nurses, those who are out there fighting for us and to those that stay home protecting their loved ones. Composed and performed by Cristóvam and with a video concept created and directed by Pedro Varela.

Please try to write down and work on the lyrics! The message is so beautiful and you’re going to see vocabulary like verbs, phrasal verbs, prepositions, and a lot of the things we talk about in class…

Thank you, Coronavirus

We learned the vocabulary to talk about the Coronavirus disease outbreak, and we learned how you can talk to the people around you so that you and they stay safe.

So today the message is different. Take advantage of this unique time when we are all kept in quarantine, and listen and think carefully about this message…

Be grateful

Stay aware

Things will never be the same again

And don’t forget…

Você tem uma família grande? O que você gosta de fazer quando passa um tempo com sua família?

Falar de família pode ser uma boa maneira de começar uma conversa em inglês, por isso é útil você saber o que dizer, como também saber perguntar.

First, let’s review the vocabulary by looking at the family tree:

Next, let’s learn how to talk about them. Watch the video below and make notes of the possible ways.

Now talk about your family. Introduce them. Say who they are. Add details to make your answer longer and more interesting.

Here is one more video that gives you examples of how to talk about your nuclear family, your extended family, your paternal side of family and maternal side of family, that is the relatives on/from your dad’s side and on/from your mom’s side of the family.

Be a part of it!

A careful work on videos is a very useful tool to improve listening, to acquire vocabulary and to see how the parts of speech fit together. And best of all, to look at all these things at the same time, in context.

So here is a nice video, that teaches us essential vocabulary, in order for us to be able to participate in a discussion about the future of our country! Be a part of it! 😉
