February so far...

Aside from the progress test, this month we've looked at connectors in text (conjunctions, etc). We also went through a register transfer text, reviewed prefixes and looked at expressions for making proposals (Unit 3.3).
By the way, the text on the Hotel Chelsea always reminds me of this Dylan song , written after the breakup of his marriage. One verse goes:

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writing "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.

Here's the link (you'll need to click on "play"):

  1. There´s another sad, melancholic but very beautiful song by Leonard Cohen titled precisely Chelsea Hotel. I'm sure that most of you already know it. This is a link to a recent version, subtitled in English and Spanish:
