Hello, I am Pilar, English teacher and creator of this blog.
I studied English at the university back in the 90's, before Google and Wikipedia, when YouTube and Social Media were not part of our daiy life. Until today, I am still learning vocabulary and pronunciation, just like any other student, perhaps the only difference is that I don't feel nervous when I make a mistake or when I don't know a word.
I have created this blog with two purposes in mind:
The first one is to share the materials I like to create. For many years, I was all the time thinking "this video can be a good resource to teach English" or "I could use this article to teach this and that..." So, one day I started using artificial intelligence (AI) to create texts and questions for my students and I realized it was possible to create something useful and engaging for students to learn, practice and improve their English.
In this blog, you will find stories that I created with the assistance of AI to facilitate the learning process. When you study English following the stories and the exercises, you can practice most of the vocabulary and grammar you need to know at each level. The "Sixty Four Stories" are focused on A1 level. You can read and do a few exercises here in the blog, and you can find the audio and other exercises to develop fluency in the Library I have in my Patreon page. It is free, you only need to join the page.
The second purpose I have in creating this blog is to serve people who want to learn English and have few choices in life. I am from Chile, and here we have everything, but I know that in other areas of the world, people do not have the same access and they deserve the same opportunities. For that reason, the materials to learn from A1 to B1 level will always be free in my blog.
So, welcome to my place, my blog, my ideas and the materials I have developed with students in mind. I hope you can find something useful and fun to learn from.
Much love, Pilar.
