So, here I am, or rather have been for a week or so. I have, so fa, done plenty of sightseeing , learnt a lot of new interesting ideas to use in my classes and made a few friends. So, so far so good.
But you are not probably interested in what a good time I am having ( I am supposed to be working very hard) I am just writing to let you know that I have come across to yet another interesting website I think might be helpful .
This time is a visual dictionary (this always helps), and it has an interesting section devoted to practising the vocab with games. By the way, it might only help advanced students but for lower level, you can always have a look.
