Spring Equinox

Today we can mark on our calendars the Spring Equinox, when the Earth received the same amount of daylight as it does darnkess. In North America, the clocks have already been changed to one hour ahead just two weeks ago. This is called daylight savings time,  In Europe, we will be changing our clocks the last weekend of March, in a week and an half's time.

There's a saying to remember if the clocks are turned back or forward:

Spring forward, Fall back...

How to pronounce "Chocolate"

The word "Chocolate" for Spanish speakers is a difficult word to take in as far as pronunciation goes. They tend to want to break it down with the same number of syllables as in Spanish but the truth is that in English, it's got half the amount of syllables, making this word very difficult for Spanish speaking students to learn.

Here's a video I found that will - hopefully - help you better pronounce this "delicious" word.

Cheers!!

St. Patrick's Day - 17th March

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated this Sunday, 17th March and is a festivity celebrated by the Irish but is widely extended to countries where there is a large Irish community like the UK, Canada, the USA, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Mexico.

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (for provincial government employees), and the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. Modern celebrations have been greatly influenced by those of the Irish diaspora, particularly those that developed in North America.
