"CLICKONENGLISH" FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY!

It's 15 years from the first day we started publishing the first post on this blog and here we are still counting, although this time with a difference... 

This year I won't be working at Rafael Dieste school, I won't be following the day by day activities that may be happening... but I'll keep on publishing anything that I might find useful or interesting to learn and practice English. At least, every Wednesday there will be a new post... 

Good luck to all students and teachers that start the new school year!
