Is Spanish hard?

Este esqueleto es de uno que nunca aprendió español.

Why does it have to be difficult at all? Is there any valid reason?

Learning a language is one of the easiest things to do. There are, of course, things that Spanish has that other languages ​​do not have.

But that is what's fascinating about the whole thing. Learning Spanish is like embarking on a journey to an unknown country full of secrets and fascinating findings.

This is a journey just for you and the first big hurdle is your decision to deny yourself this opportunity with silly excuses.

Don't do it, don't deny yourself this chance to grow as a person and as a citizen of this world, and just say to yourself: "I can do this because Spanish is easy!"

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell.

Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say EXAMEN SUPLETORIO in English?

Darn! I wonder if there's a Make Up exam for this Make up exam! I remember that long ago I asked my distinguished and knowledgeable colleagues of that time to enlighten me and tell me the right English word for what we know in Ecuador as EXAMEN SUPLETORIO or EXAMEN DE RECUPERACION.  After hearing Recovery exam or Supplemenary test and even Supletory exam, I was not convinced so I decided to go to a higher authority and looked up one of those encyclopedic dictionaries from Oxford or Cambridge university (these were the pre-browser times) and found the right expression is MAKE UP EXAM which is taken when an exam has been missed or when a student needs to change one score with a more favorable one. The British say RECUPERATION EXAM which is perhaps more practical since to some people the term Make Up is confusing. Make-up is the word for the wearing of cosmetics. There are Make-up tests which are oriented to future Make-up artists.
