Good news !!We can do it!!!...Radio show online
For some people we know that 21:15 on a Tuesday evening is't always a suitable time to listen to our radio show. BUT...good news!! We have worked out (we have surprised ourselves!!) how to broadcast these shows online. So no reason to miss a show. Now you can listen to the show whenever you want to . We will be posting the shows each week on this blog for those unable to listen live.
Below is a sample show recorded before the summer holidays, the topic of the show is health.
Hope you enjoy it...please leave any comment below.
Book of the month
Each month we will be reviewing a book to help you learn English. This months book is the "Collins/Cobuild Active English Grammar" This pocket size book is brilliant for reference purposes...you never need to worry about phrasal verbs ever again.
Caravaca Radio
El Centro de Ingles is back on the airways tonight at 21:25 CET on Caravaca Radio. We know that somtimes it is not possible for everyone to listen at that time. We are looking at ways of downloading these programmes and making them available on this blog and on our Face Book page.

Accents and differences in the English language.
In the UK and Ireland people speak with many different accents. Some of them are hard to understand...BUT, this is real English in action. In the USA they speak American English which in many cases can be different to British English....confused?? Watch the links below...I hope they help.
The Phonetic Chart
The English language has 26 letters in its alphabet and most experts believe there are 44 letter sounds. (The experts debate on anywhere between 39 to 45, but most accept 44.) If there were 44 letters in the English alphabet, then reading would really be simple! Each letter would have its own sound. However, since there are 44 sounds and only 26 letters, some letters have to make more than one sound.
The link below is for people interested in learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols. This is a useful skill for students who may want to check the pronunciation of a word in a dictionary. Use the phonetic chart to learn the sounds of English.
