Don't Stop Me Now!


I actually got a question for you, guys: How does the man actually mime the planet Mars? Enjoy!



PS: And what about a "real good time"? Got the mime for that?

Let's Get Funky!


 Daft Punk is a famous French  electronic music duo who released a great funky song three years ago called Lose Yourself to Dance. The title is totally straightforward: lose your fears, lose your shyness, lose your worries... get lost into the music, and JUST DANCE. I believe that this is definitely the attitude to learn a language, we just have to dance ourselves into it!

The video you're just about to see is a tribute to those funky people who back in the 70s and 80s danced  to the music in total joy and freedom in one the most famous TV shows in the US: The Soul Train.

Enjoy!

Music to Welcome You to NI2

Dear all,

Here is a really nice song by First Aid Kit, a Swedish Folk Band which has become quite famous in the last years due to the beautiful playing and singing of these two sisters. How about listening to this song to get our wheels turning for the coming new year of English? (And our feet moving too...) 


Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet

I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
'Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a sharp tongue
I could fool almost anyone

I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck

Now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

All the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home, just felt more alone
The further I'd go

I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear

So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, I'll be goddamn
But I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
