My most treasured possession

If I have to choose and object, this is, undoubtedly, my iPad.

It's almost always in my hands when I'm at home. I take it with me to bed, and the first thing I do when I wake up is to turn it on.

On its screen it is almost everything: the email messages, I get the social networks of my friends and acquaintances, the updated news of all the media, the music and videos of my favorite singers, the television program that I wasn't able to see the previous day, the applications to brush up my English, the books I'm reading...

The mobile phone is also significant to me. However, its screen is too small for my recently operated tired eyes.

Also, as an accessory to my iPad, I have some wireless earphones. Great. They allow me to listen to podcasts while I'm moving around the house and without having cables connected to the device. Moreover, at night, in bed, my partner and I don't bother each other... what is essential.

Learning English

I think it was 1991 when I started to study English for the first time in my life. At school I had studied French but only when I was 35 I got in contact with English.
It was the oficial courses of That's English. I hadn't to go to the school building. We studied at home and with the support of the television programs and the old videotapes.
I passed the three courses and then I went to one of the oficial schools of languages to study the next course. I had to go to Madrid twice a week from 45 km far away. It was some tired experience. I passed the 4th course after doing it in two years. Then in 1998 I passed (with a C) de First Certificate in English from Cambridge University.
From then on, I haven't touch English. I had forgotten all. I hardly can remember the words, the gramatical rules... that I, more or less, had learnt twenty years ago.
Now, I'm retired and I've decided return to study English.
I go twice a week to YouTalk, a language academy here in Huesca.
The YouTalk method consider that speaking is the only way to learn a language.
I think so. And I know that "practice makes perfect".
So I am practicing all day.
I hope to learn and to improve my speaking and listening skills.
