ENGLISH READINGS
All posts for more advanced English learners and everyone interested!

This collection explores the complex relationship between language and identity, delving into how the words we speak shape our sense of self and belonging. It examines the global dynamics that arise when one tongue gains dominance over others, revealing how communication can become both a bridge and a barrier. The series also sheds light on the quiet erosion of linguistic diversity, where ancient voices risk being silenced by modernization and cultural assimilation. Finally, it turns to the living pulse of everyday speech, showing how informal expressions capture the attitudes, struggles, and creativity of each new generation.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR
All posts for basic and intermediate learners – Grammar and Vocabulary posts!

“Remember, these posts are in Spanish (for English learners) and are designed for basic to intermediate learners. To ensure clarity, the vocabulary is also tailored to their level, so expanding ‘vocabulary’ might be a bit more challenging for Spanish learners.”

This set delves into two distinct yet equally fascinating realms of language. The first explores the words we use to describe our inner world — thought, memory, emotion, and perception — revealing how language gives structure to the invisible workings of the human mind. The second turns outward, grounding itself in the tangible world of objects and craftsmanship, where precision and practicality shape communication. Together, they bridge the abstract and the concrete, showing how vocabulary not only names things but also mirrors the full spectrum of human experience — from what we build with our hands to what we imagine in our minds.

Short Stories in English and Cuentos Cortos en Español

This collection journeys through moments where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Each tale captures a different facet of human nature — stillness in chaos, courage in routine, creation that blurs the line between life and art, and the shadows cast by fear itself. Some stories unfold in timeless or forgotten places, where echoes of the past and distortions of time challenge what is real. Others reveal the quiet rebellion of the spirit, the persistence of hope, and the fragile beauty of dreams that refuse to fade. Together, they form a mosaic of mystery, reflection, and the enduring search for meaning in a world both familiar and strange.
