Globalization is the new trend nowadays. Within this new tendency, English has
become the world wide language, so each day more people are learning it.

Taking this into account, we have developed this new material in order to help
you learn and practice this Language.

This project was based on the educational experience the authors have had
through their lives, as well as their own personal experience living in an English
speaking culture.

We welcome you to join us and be part of this new learning experience.
