Another summer

     It's time for summer vacation. Many of you go back to jobs, or are heading to internships. Others are getting ready for big adventures over the summer, while others plan to spend as much time as possible with family. Whether you have big plans or are hanging out at home, I hope you have the chance to get outside, enjoy nature, and replenish your batteries. 
     Whatever your plans, it's important not to let your language skills rust over the summer. Read in Spanish, watch TV in Spanish, talk to people you meet, check out movies in Spanish, listen to music in Spanish. In this blog I will regularly post tips or ideas for keeping your skills sharp over the break. Check back here for that.
     In the meantime, here are a few links that you might find helpful or interesting:

• El País, Spain's most widely-read newspaper: http://elpais.com/elpais/portada_america.html
• Univisión, a Spanish-language TV station based in Miami. They have news, sports, gossip, comedies, soap operas, and variety shows: http://www.univision.com/
• People en Español. Yes, it's trashy, but any reading in Spanish is better than none at all: http://www.peopleenespanol.com/

Also read my posts for previous summers. There are great links and good ideas for practicing your Spanish!
