Love is in the air!

Every 14th February Valentine's Day is celebrated by giving flowers, candy, chocolates, and cards to those we love.

We do this in honour of St. Valentine. But, who was St. Valentine? Watch the following video in order to find out more about him and this celebration.

Another famous figure from Valentine's Day is Cupid (which means "desire" in Latin). In Roman mythology Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid is often said to be a cheeky boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

In Irish folklore, leprechauns are a type of fairy depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are solitary creatures who make and mend shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! If they are captured by a human, they grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom. Here you can watch and listen to a catchy song about them!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Hi there!

Did you know that Santa's Reindeer names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph? Here you have a song about the most famous one! 

Lyrics

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen.
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer 

had a very shiny nose. 

And if you ever saw him, 

you would even say it glows. 

All of the other reindeer 

used to laugh and call him names. 

They never let poor Rudolph 

join in any reindeer games. 

Then one foggy Christmas Eve 

Santa came to say: 

"Rudolph with your nose so bright, 

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" 

Then all the reindeer loved him 

as they shouted out with glee, 

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, 

you'll go down in history!

Hope you like it!

Lights on the trees under falling snow

You get a bit closer when a winter's cold

Now I can't wait 'til you're by my side

All of the best gifts, you just can't buy

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

I wish we were kissing under mistletoe

The stars on the sky just can't match your glow

Now I can't wait 'til you're by my side

We'll be warm by the fire all night, ohh

I wanna hold you while the bells are all ringing

Want you to be here while the angel's singing

Days are perfect when I got you near

My only wish is you here

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

Wherever you are, you brighten the Moon

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

(Without you)

We could be outside dancing on the moonlight

Watching the sky roll over our heads

We could be inside trying to sing the lines right

Laughing until we fall out of bed

So when I wake up on Christmas Day

I hope the first thing I see is your face

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

Wherever you are, you brighten the Moon

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

(Without you)

It won't feel like Christmas without you.

Hope you like it!

Thanksgiving

Hi there,

Today we deal with an element of the American culture. In the U.S.A, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

Although Thanksgiving celebrations dated back to the first European settlements in America, it was not until the 1860s that Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November to be a national holiday.

Here's a fantastic video about the main facts of this typical celebration:

In the following one you can watch a simple explanation made by and for children.

The following one includes a song about the traditional food eaten at Thanksgiving.

Song "Who knew" by Pink

Hi there,

Songs are a great way of dealing with English. The following one is not an exception, so we are going to use it to practise with the past simple forms of verbs, both regular and irregular ones.

The following video contains the lyrics on screen. Can you identify the regular and the irregular verbs?

Finally, you have the lyrics if you feel like singing it along.

You took my hand

You showed me how

You promised me you'd be around

Uh huh

That's right

I took your words

And I believed

In everything

You said to me

Yeah huh

That's right

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong

I know better

Cause you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

Oh no

No no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you friend

I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now

'fore they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

I was all wrong

They knew better

Still you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

Until we

Until we meet again

And I won't forget you my friend

What happened

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong and

That last kiss

I'll cherish

Until we meet again

And time makes

It harder

I wish I could remember

But I keep

Your memory

You visit me in my sleep

My darling

Who knew

My darling

My darling

Who knew

My darling

I miss you

My darling

Who knew

Who knew

Hope you like it!
