My dearest students, I salute you (that actually means "hello"). Let me just cut to the chase here... I thought I should share with you these kind reminders:

Intermedio 1: you're supposed to be working on your CV (remember?).

Avanzado 2: those in the morning class will receive their essays tomorrow. Those in the "evening shift" are expected to email/hand in the "Dear Future Me" composition.

One little surprise for all of you: a brief recorded message that goes over the most basic pronunciation problems that I still hear in the classroom... I hope you find it useful.
