Hello again!

The question Where are you from? is a bit strange for Spanish people because it has got the preposition at the end and not at the beginning, so we had to practice it a lot to get used to it.

We studied the names of countries: Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Greece, Australia, China, the US, Canada, etc.

And nationalities and languages (sometimes they do not coincide): Spanish, French, Swiss (nationality), German, British (nationality), Irish (Irish is a language too, although they speak mostly English), Italian, Russian, Greek, Australian (nationality), Chinese, American (nationality), Canadian (nationality), etc.

We can ask: Where are you from? and get 2 different answers: I am from Spain or I am Spanish.

We can also say: Where is this flag from? It's  from Greece.

If somebody asks me Where is Dublin? I 'll answer: it's in Ireland. Or, Where is the Alhambra? I'll say: It's in Granada, Spain.


Homework

Here is the link to the video about dates. http://www.real-english.com/reo/8-d/unit8d.asp

See you Tuesday.
